DAY 2 - The morning after

Dear P90X Diary,

There it is: the ugly truth about my first day's workout. I worried that i couldn't do very many reps on each of the exercises. Even as i was doing the Chest & Back workout, i thought, "Maybe i'm in over my head." Then i woke up this morning with that good kinda soreness. The feeling in your muscles that lets you know, "Oh, you worked all right." And i realized my goal now is just to get up to speed. To make sure that i can do every move in every workout and do it well. And repeatedly. Then i realized i had started setting goals for my fitness.

And that really feels good.

DAY 1 - I F***ing Rock!!!

Dear P90X Diary,

Blah blah, description of workout, blah.*

Okay, so i actually DID IT. Yes, P90X Day 1 goes down in the books as a success! Not because i stepped in and did everything Tony Horton and crew were doing. Not because i just finished a 90 day extreme fitness program. Because i started. I thought i would pass out several times. (I think i may have once. Just for a second or two.) But i worked to the extent that i could. And i already have clearer goals in mind because of it.

Why don't i remember liking workouts this much? Maybe because i get to do it at home instead of in the nightclub er... "gym." Watch out, youngsters! This middle-age mo' fo' is about to BRING IT!


Okay. Rant off.
Seriously. I feel great. That is all for now.
