The eating... ahhhh, the eating.

I got my package in the mail today! Man, am I stoked!! I can't remember the last time I got so excited about a package. Surely it was during college when I would receive the oh so envied box of goodies from the folks. I'm pretty sure those love packages made me who I am today!

I'm anxious to read up on the plan and especially get familiarized with the Nutrition Plan. I've really got to get my eating under control!

I do well for breakfast and lunch then I bomb at dinner. I think my biggest problem is the eating out. I have no will power! Where there are fries, I am doomed. I must work on that. I've got to put some thought into how to just block it out of my diet all together. I think I'm under control, but when the family is eating all the delicious, so very addictive, not-so-healthy stuff I lose it.

Did I mention I got the P90X package? The real deal baby! Gotta go, must read up!!

Wednesday

Shoulders & arms. Again, I think I need larger weights. I feel great the day after. Not too sore. I'm loving it! I think it helps that I have Karen to keep me going. I know myself all too well and I think I would have quit after Plyometrics. You gotta just try it to believe it!

I did well with shoulders and arms. I'm feeling stronger already.

Tuesday

Because we were playing around with discs last week we got to know Plyometrics real up close and personal. Wow. Tough workout. Anyway, that's not what this post is about. Because we were still sore from last week, we decided to switch things up just a little an go with Kempo. Still.

Kempo reminded me a lot of Tae Bo with Billy Blanks. Intense, but again, doable. I loved it. Lots of kicking, stabbing, blocking. Really got my heart pumping and the sweat glands in overdrive. I managed to get through the whole hour but it was tough and I started to feel drained after about 20 minutes. I can't wait until I notice an increase in strength and energy!

Monday - Chest & Back

I wonder if I'm not pushing myself enough. I'm sore in some spots but not like I thought I'd be. Heavier weights maybe? This was a great workout. Intense, but doable. I'm posting on Thursday so my memory is a bit blurry. Plus I've had to do Kempo between then and now and that's enough to joggle anybody's memory!

The start of something new!

I chose the title 90daysandbeyond because it is my hope and desire that I can stay pumped and fired up for a good long while after my P90X goal is accomplished.

I was not going to initiate a blog. I had pretty much decided to just calendar the days as incentive to keeping moving. Until. I read a friend's blog. She had accomplished her dream goal of running a marathon and said that her journaling is one of her most prized possessions. I don't want to regret it so I'm just going to do it! I also hope that it is a strong source of motivation for me.

My dear friend Karen is keeping me going. We decided that we both had some changes to make and made a commitment to get each other through it. This is the hardest workout commitment I've ever made. I'm really excited about making the goal and so far I'm very anxious to stick with it.

I will try to journal often not just about the workouts, but also how they are effecting my body, energy level, self discipline, etc. I also want to journal my eating habits as those must change. It won't be a fancy journal, but it will be real. I'm contimplating posting my pictures, but not quite there yet.

Because I have not received the complete set of discs for the program, I've been skipping a bit. Last week I got a good idea of what I was getting myself into. Very intense workout! But I felt great afterward! This week I've officially started (Monday) and I'm anxious to begin each day. Like I said before, this is not like anything I've ever done. I'm grateful for the opportunity.
