P90X Modified?

OK I have started P90X, and I am on day 3 (shoulders and arms I believe) and a friend of mine gave me her DVD's, but I don't have any weights or restraint bands or pull up bars! In the meantime I have been doing some Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred moves that I know... so today since just about everything was with the weights or restraints I put in the ab ripper because I didn't do it on day 2. That alone was an awesome workout and felt like I was dying LOL, but!
what I want to know is, is it ok to modify this until I can get this equipment? I'm sure I can get some of this at Wal-mart or somewhere, but I wanted to jump right in!!! And on day 1, I still did pushups (barely made it lol), and when they did pull ups I just other exercises. I am making sure I am busting my butt, or also doing other segments they have already done that I am not good at to work on, but I just don't want to feel like I am cheating it!!! So far in 3 days I am having great results and I love it!!! I would just like some advice/answers from ANYONE, especially with P90X experience!!!

It is more than fine to modify, as Tony says do your best forget the rest, as far as wieght you can use canned veggies for resistance for now( just concentrate on the sqeeze. and for pullups just mimic the bands again concentrating on the squeeze. If you need the program order you can Google "P90x workout routines". good luck and BRING ITOK I have started P90X, and I am on day 3 (shoulders and arms I believe) and a friend of mine gave me her DVD's, but I don't have any weights or restraint bands or pull up bars!
