DAYS 11-12 – A Fumble, A Recovery.

Dear P90X Diary,

I slipped. Already. Saturday was just one of those days i couldn't motivate myself to do anything. I mean nothing. So i missed my Yoga X workout. (And i actually like that one.) Before i went to bed, though, i had a plan. Yoga in the morning, Legs & Back in the evening, and i'd be good to go. Except for the fact that since i didn't motivate myself to go into work on Saturday either, i ended up having to go in on Sunday night. Which kind of rolled into Monday morning. As in, i'm just getting home from work at 1:00 in the morning. And have to be back at 7:00.

Okay, Plan B.

I started this whole thing on a Wednesday, which means my "rest day" is on Tuesday at the end of my week. (Tuesday is my sabbath and i shalt honor it. Don't mess with me.) So i just carry things forward a bit: Yoga was Sunday morning, Legs & Back will be Monday evening, Kenpo X on Tuesday morning, and X Stretch on Tuesday evening. Easier to double up on the day when you're supposed to be resting, especially if you rested on a day you were supposed to be working.

We'll see how this goes. I think i've said that before. I'm still committed to P90X in 90 days.

DAY 7 - AAAAAAAAAHHH....

Dear P90X Diary,

Today i feel good. For a few reasons:

1. Today was X-Stretch. No jumping, lifting, running, pulling (well we did pull ourselves around quite a bit). Today was about keeping my body in condition to keep working. A nice change, and i'm glad i did it.
2. I found a few calorie-tracking apps for iPhone that i'm trying out. That should help me be less concerned about losing count of calories during this first phase and let me keep up with my eating.
3. I did a full week of P90X!!! Okay, so that's burying the lead a little, but i saved the best for last. Day seven means one complete set of exercises for this phase of the program. Starting tomorrow, i do it all again, but this time i'll know exactly what i'm in for. And the best thing about that is i have a better idea of where i can push more for the next couple of weeks. 

So that's the good news. Stretching. Calorie counting. Accomplishing.

Yeah. I can do this...
