The night I broke my ass...

Yesterday, I knew all day I had Core Synergistics waiting at home for me... and I was good with it.  I had a ton of energy and was really ready to push myself for a good workout.  Got home, pushed play and got going.  It doesn't get easier... if anything, sometimes it SEEMS harder, but I think that is because each time you can push yourself a little more.  There are still 3 exercises I don't even attempt... primarily because of my wrist, but also my upper body strength is still pretty weak right now.  During those exercises, I do push ups (which by the way, I can now bang out about 20 REAL pushups as opposed to the 6 or 7 I could do 3 weeks ago).  I try my best not to stop and just do something else challenging during those exercises, and I know someday soon I will be able to do them.  I get through the workout and I'm a sweaty mess, gasping to catch my breath and I'm ready for the cool down... at some point in the cool down I feel something in my ass pull and not a good pull... OH SHIT, I DONE BROKE MY ASS!!!!  I mean to tell you, it hurt SO bad last night.  I did some more stretching throughout the evening trying to work it out and this morning it seems to be fine... I guess I will see during Yoga.

Today is Day 23. Almost a third of the way there and while things have not been exactly easy, not for one second have I regretted starting P90X.  It has challenged me in every way and I am looking forward to Phase 2 when my body will be more adapted to the program and I can start seeing more results.  They say that women tend to start seeing results around day 45-60... we just don't develop as quickly as men.  However, I am already seeing some changes so it is exciting to think about what things might be like 30 days down the road.  For now, it's one day at a time... I just keep pushing play, and doing my best.  For the first time in a long time, I'm pretty darn proud of myself.  Of course, Yoga tends to dash that pride when I'm fumbling and stumbling all over the place... but at least I'm putting forth the effort right? Right...
