Hey!
So, I just got done working out to Core Synergistics. My legs feel like jello.
I KNOW I am going to be sore in the morning! Tony Horton knows how to BRING IT! He's going to teach this girl how to BRING IT! :) I did want to quit at some points during the workout...but, I pushed through! :)
I did skip some segments like the sphinx push ups...I just don't have the upper body strength yet to successfully accomplish that. I only skipped one's that I know I can't accomplish yet. Reason being, no strength in certain areas like my upper body.
I KNOW by sticking to this program, I will be able to accomplish all of the segments by the end of the 90 day program.
I struggled even with the segments that I could do. This helped me realize how out of shape I REALLY am. So, I think the first couple of weeks are going to be like biting the bullet. Hard. Just plain difficult.
I am determined though.
This isn't my first time testing out P90X. I quit within weeks a few times of starting P90X. I gave up because I didn't believe I could do it. My desire was there to become fit; however, my drive...was a different story. THIS time I've got drive! My husband is gone training at the moment, and I KNOW for sure he will return even stronger and fit. We LOVE the outdoors together and I want to be able to keep up with him. Thus far, in my marriage I have struggled with weight. Most people look at me and say, "You look fine!" "You carry your weight well!"
However, I have also had TOO many people rub my stomach asking when the baby is due (which is PLAIN rude!)...recently, I got asked if I had a 'Kicenski bun in the oven'...and TRUST me. I have lost weight and people are still asking me that. So, I am not just doing P90X because I want to lose weight...I am doing it to tone up! I want people to stop asking me when I am due....I am NOT pregnant. In fact, my stomach doesn't bulge like it used to. A year ago...I was A LOT worse! Like a lot, A LOT!
I weigh at 160 right now. I haven't taken full measurements yet...I will this week. I will post those as well.
I am doing this blog for two reasons: 1. To keep track of my progress & 2. To maybe inspire someone else to do the same.
I KNOW that exercising isn't enough. I know the saying, "Exercise to be fit. Eat right to lose weight." I strongly believe that's the key to success! I will splurge from time to time though...I am human. But notice key terms, "time to time" meaning occasionally.
My husband is already satisfied with my body. He can't keep his hands off me! Which I love that he is this way; but, for the FIRST time in my life, I WILL be fit! Toned! So, I know both of us will be totally shocked and even more satisfied at the ending results! I look forward to that. :)
My goal is to do a special photo shoot for my husband at the end of October. By then, I should look a lot better than I do now. I also hope to visit him for Thanksgiving weekend. On the side of P90X, I plan on doing Hip Hop Abs every night, or going to the gym or taking some active classes like Zumba a few times a week. I am going to work my buns off! LITERALLY.
My goal is not only to tone up; but, tone up in certain places of my body that I haven't been satisfied with. I.e. my stomach, buttox, and hips. I am a curvy gal; but, I want it to be healthy curves.
Anyway, I am glad to say that I successfully accomplished day 1 of P90X - Lean. Tomorrow I will write in this blog again and comment on Day 2! <3
