Today marks the 45th day of the P90X journey. We are halfway there! Round 2 of pictures and measurements are coming up in a couple of weeks. How is everyone feeling about that?
Recently, Damien and I both hit a challenge in our workouts when we had to pick up our house and move. I never realized how much "stuff" you accumulate over the years and moving it all was challenging to say the least. We were so preoccupied with moving and getting settled that workouts ended up being last on the list of priorities. So, we missed about 3 workouts last week. We kind of felt guilty for it, but realistically, after moving all day we just didn't have the time nor the energy to give to the program. We tried to stick to the nutrition program, but probably felt short in a few areas and really felt less than 100% because of it.
Why am I telling you all this? Well, I'm trying to stay honest with myself and with all of you who are going through the program with us. I'm only human. However, despite missing 3 days of workouts we still felt like we were active by moving furniture, boxes and bags up and down stairs and in and out of trucks. So, it's not like we were just taking 3 days off. At least we were somewhat physically active, and if anything, we could have counted those moving days as legs, back and bicep workouts! :)
Moving forward, I am happy to say that Monday we started back strictly to the program and it has made all the difference. It felt so good to workout and write down what we are eating again. I felt back in balance and my body can tell the difference.
I know that some of you have "fallen off the wagon" with this program, missed a few workouts, or switched rest days when needed, and that is okay. Just don't give up on it! Give it your all from this point forward and stick with it! You will see tremendous results in the next 45 days if you haven't begun to see them already. Being active and eating right can do amazing things for your body, and I bet that by now your body can feel the difference when you are on vs. off the program.
Some of you will face challenges in this program. Life happens! But, whether you are moving, traveling for business or pleasure and there is just no way to take along the workout DVDs, I found an article that might help you workout while away from home. It is Tony Horton's "Traveler's Workout." It seems short and simple enough to complete anywhere. If you have the time, check it out. Stay committed and keep bringing it!
I'll be checking in with you all again soon. Please continue to share your stories here. We need the motivation too! :)
Stay Fit on the Road
This blog is intended to serve as both a resource and support through the P90X2 program. As P90X graduates, we've decided to continue to include helpful links, articles and recipes to those who are working through the P90X programs. Although we will mostly focus on the new program, we will keep all links and articles pertaining to P90X on our blog. As always, we welcome comments, questions and any other inspiring words to others who might be reading this and seeking encouragement themselves.
