P90x Tip – Stick WIth It

Well……this last week has totally sucked.  Here’s my P90X tip —-Don’t stop your momentum when you’re in a good flow.  You have to stick with it.  Starting back up is always the hardest thing for me.

I was doing really well.  My last post was a week ago and if I remember correctly….I did P90X Kenpo X with my wife and played 2 hours of racquetball right after that.  I actually played another 2 hours of racquetball that night as well.

I was on a roll and feeling great.  The next day was my niece’s wedding and we had a ton of family in for that.  Friday we all got together and goofed off for the day.  Saturday came along and I didn’t feel so well so I took the day off.  Sunday……well, I never work out on Sunday.

Monday I had lots of work and my youngest son started football practice that afternoon at 4.  He has practice everyday from 4 – 6 and I’m helping out as an assistant coach.  The next thing you know is today’s Thursday and I have yet to workout this week.  I haven’t even played racquetball and my attitude, at least as far as fitness is concerned  sucks to say the least.

I’m feeling good about just about everything else in my life at the moment, but I definitely hit a speed bump this week involving P90X.  I’m missing this morning’s workout too because I have to take my 20 year old daughter to a foot surgeon in Salt Lake.  She was a flier on her cheerleading squad in High School and got dropped 3 years ago and tweaked her ankle.  It’s been getting worse and worse as time’s gone on.  They’re having a hard time figuring out what’s wrong with it.  Hopefully today will bring new results.

I’m gonna have to just force myself to get back on the P90X  bandwagon and this time around once I do I have to make sure I stay on it.  It is just too hard for me to get going again…….it’s just not worth losing the momentum and stopping.
