P90X Routine – Why Do I Do It?

OK, I’m still seriously overweight. I’ve been doing pretty well with my eating habits and p90x workout routines. I’m losing weight, I’m adding muscle and burning fat.
Today I’m taking an account of where I’m at compared to where I was just a few short months ago.
It used to be extremely easy to talk myself out of working out. I could find all kinds of excuses.
The biggest excuse was the lack of results. I was notorious for getting down on myself when the weight didn’t just fly off my body after a few days or maybe even weeks of “being good.”
My attitude towards living a healthy lifestyle was only based on hard data, numbers…….results that could be seen or measured with some kind of tool. Well guess who the “tool” really was.
Living and dying by your numbers alone is a fools game. All the right things for all the wrong reasons. I’ve changed my attitude around completely.
I now workout for the sheer enjoyment of it. I feel better, I have a better attitude about my life, I look at things differently. Sure, I still have crappy days, just ask my sister about my golf game yesterday. I was a schmuck! It felt nice to do a little venting though and now I’ve moved past it.
I am no longer willing to let a few less than stellar numbers keep me from working out and eating more healthy foods. These are rewards in and of themselves.
Who cares if I’m still overweight today? I’m more healthy today than I was 2 weeks ago. I’ll be healthier still 2 weeks from today. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.
I’ve embraced the healthier lifestyle for it’s own sake. The measurable results will come at their own pace and in their own time. The real benefits happen immediately as I consistently workout and eat better.
I’m celebrating a little bit today. That statement doesn’t mean today what it meant 4 months ago. Then it would mean treating myself to a Jethro Bodean sized bowl of ice cream.
Today it just means I’m consciously being grateful that I’ve finally found the key for me to get back into shape. I am now living for the process.
The Benefits of Water – Nature’s Magic Elixir
With all the miracle weight loss pills and miracle drinks on the market you’d think that American’s would be losing weight hand over fist instead of piling up the pounds. Americans consume billions and billions of dollars worth of diet drinks and energy drinks and have nothing but additional weight gain to show for it.
There has to be a better way to hydrate ourselves. Sadly, the answer is so simple that many people discount it’s effectiveness because it just seems to be too easy.
Do you desperately want a a liquid diet drink that naturally helps you lose weight? Go into your kitchen, walk over to the sink and turn on the spicket…..tada!!!!
Water, Good ole’ fashioned water. It just can’t be that easy…right? Well, it is that easy. Water is miraculous with the health benefits it offers. If you’ve been convinced by all the propaganda out there that the water in your tap is bad, then get bottled water or invest in a water filtration system for your home.
In any case, water is the answer for everyone if they’re looking to get their bodies back into shape. Drink at least 100 ounces a day. Add to that a balanced sensible diet and moderate to intense exercise and watch your weight regulate itself and your body transform itself into a fat burning machine instead of a fat producing blob.
If you don’t believe me when I say that water is nature’s magic elixir, then just watch this video.
After watching this there can be no argument, especially since everything on TV is the truth…..right?
Drink your water guys!
