P90X – Next Round – Day One
© Tim Pannell Photography
Here it is April 5th and I’m starting a new round of P90X.
Today is day #1.
Last week was a take it easy week for me.
I did P90X Chest and Back on Monday and I did P90X Plyometrics on Wednesday.
I also played racquetball for a few hours during the week.
I will be following the standard P0X Workout Schedule.
The previous round of P90X was pretty successful for me on a number of levels, but I failed on the “weight loss” front.
I am much stronger. My arms are at least one inch bigger than 3 months ago.
I was more consistent with the previous set of P90X than ever before.
It really helped doing the workouts with my wife and sister in law.
It was much easier staying committed to the entire workout schedule and program than ever before.
My wife is now working from 6 am til 2 pm so the P90X trio has been broken up for the moment.
My wife and I just finished P90X Chest and Back this morning since she has today off.
It was nice to have a workout buddy again.
I was surprisingly toasty toast today.
I fully expected to be full of energy since I took it so easy last week.
It wasn’t the case….I was breathing much heavier than I normally do.
Maybe its from all the crap I ate yesterday…..that’s my guess anyway.
In any case…..here I am, making another commitment to another 90 days of P90X.
This time around I have just one goal……LOSE WEIGHT!!!!!
I’m gunning for at least 30 pounds. I know that my biggest problem is my eating habits.
Back in AZ I would start my mornings with a “Shakeology” shake and that really helped me get my eating habits in control.
When we moved up here to Utah, I just couldn’t bring myself to drink a cold shake since it was so cold up here.
I think in hindsight that really hurt me. I have been much hungrier up here than back in AZ and I believe that the lack of Shakeology is the culprit.
After I’m done with this post I’m gonna make a shake and get my day started off on the right foot.
I slept well last night, I got in a great workout and I’ll start off today eating wisely.
It sounds like a good plan to me.
Have a great day! I know I will.
