We have now completed two weeks of p90x and are on day two of week three. So far I don't want to curl up in the fetal position and cry (ok maybe I did want to the first couple of days but I'm over it now). To be honest for me the hardest part is getting out of bed so early, into the coldness of our unheated home and that initial motivation to get it done. I enjoy the challenge of the workouts and usually feel great when I finish. We have been totally consistent other than me skipping day 3 to give my back a rest (one day got me over the initial aggravation intense workout can sometimes lead to and I was able to pick right back up with YogaX on day four) and then I had to take off last Monday as I was getting over food poisoning and hadn't eaten in a good two days and really wanted to build my strength, and milk supply, back up before jumping back in. I'm hopping I can get through this whole week without any necessary breaks.
So here are my thoughts on the first two weeks:
-No matter how much I like to sleep, I always feel better the rest of the day if I suck it up, get out of bed and just do the workout.
-It is a lot less intimidating than I had convinced myself. I still can't keep up with the number of reps they do but I can do every move they do (except the Dreya Roll, but it will happen).
-It's definitely just as much a time commitment as it is a physical commitment.
-If I don't get up in the morning to do it, it won't get done.
-I refuse to let myself get discouraged if I have a set back one day. I will jump back in even if I have to miss a workout.
-Still trying to figure out how to take it on the road with me to Bangkok in a few weeks. But I'm not going to take that week off.
-Weight it still coming off, a little at the time. That's the way I want to lose although it would be great to magically be thin again. I am determined by this time next year I will be at my lowest weight since I got married.
