Well, it’s the beginning of week 10. I had a good weekend and of course Kempo was easy and fun. Did pretty good on the diet and am starting to see that fat melt away around my belly. Oh, I’m excited for the 6 pack… ‘cause it’s comin’! It was kind of crazy to think that this was my last Chest and Back workout of P90X. That means we’re getting close to the end. It’s the first week of the NCAA basketball tourney and I’m taking off Thursday and Friday to watch the opening round games. I’m very excited.
Chest and Back: I’ve decided that you can never make this workout easy. The strong you get, the harder you push and the more spent you make yourself. This is a true test of how hard you are willing to go. My fingers are still very tight and it’s hard to type (It’s about 3 hours after finishing the workout). My chest, shoulders and arms are already very sore. I don’t remember it being like this two weeks ago, but I like it. Sunday was the return of daylight savings time, so I lost an hour. It didn’t seem that bad this morning so I’m pretty excited about that. Ab ripper X day one was a success. I know I can hang with them the entire time, you just have to dedicate yourself to making it happen. It’s hard, but I know I can hang with the kids and I did.
I have talked about what I plan to do after P90Xon this before and I think I have come to a decision. I’m just going to keep pushing play. Let’s make it P120X then P180X. These routines have gotten me in such good shape, I don’t really want to try something else. I also realize I have a long way to go in strength. I watch Tony and the kids and would love to be able to keep up with them on pull ups and pushups towards the end of the workout. I also realize I don’t use as much weight as the group (but I know I could one day). So, I’ll just keep pushing play and writing about my experiences.
Tonight, I’m going to run (even though it looks nasty outside) and tomorrow I have the wonderful and anticipated Plyo X. It’s starting to hit me… less than 3 weeks left (including the final recovery week)!!! YES!!! (then we start again).

Hey man, you're my inspiration! I am on day 4! You're awesome. I'm going to spend some time and read a lot of your posts for motivation, goodness knows, I'll need it! Amazing you're on week 10 without any followers. It's an honor to be the first!
ReplyDelete3 weeks left man! Keep on truckin'
Hey man. Thanks for the kind words. I'm through to day 79 and I'm hurting (in a good way). Stick with it. Don't let anything get in your way. I motivate myself with shame (the shame that I know I will have if I miss even a day). I even felt bad for missing a morning and doing it in the evening. I can be done.
