My last blog post was somewhere near the end of October, nearly 2.5 months ago. I did exercise twice more, and just never found the time to blog about it (not that twice more really makes that much of a difference).
P90X is a lot harder than I thought it would be initially. At first, I thought my biggest obstacle would be doing the exercises, literally. The moves look complex, and it's stuff I would never do (push-ups, pull-ups jumping, etc). So, I changed the way I thought. I have always had this mentality where - I feel like I am being judged in a gym. So, while doing step aerobics, or lifting weights, I would think 'sheesh, they think I can't do this because I am fat! Well, I'll show them ...'
BUT, what is tougher than all of the exercises, and eating right, is working out EVERY DAY. If you get sick, or get home late, or even you just have a lot on your plate at school/work and have looming deadlines, working out every day can be a challenge. People say getting a workout buddy will help keep you motivated. Well, now you have to work around 2 people's lives and 2 people not having time to work out every day.
So, I say - screw workout buddies (though I welcome Kristi to work out with me if she wants to [love you!!]) Who are you getting thin for? Definitely not for your workout buddy! It HAS to be for YOU, otherwise you will not stick with your exercise program (whatever program you are following, doesn't have to be P90X).
Sadly, tomorrow (Jan 4) is my 29th birthday, and I have never been thin. Well, it's my goal to be thin by my 30th birthday! I know that gives me a year, so I don't have to start anytime soon, BUT, I need time to lose weight, feel great, and to keep it off.
So, start looking for blog posts from me again. I will post them, but probably not as frequently!
