So, first things first... I finished up my first week on Sunday. Friday was Legs and Back, plus Ab Ripper X. I loved legs and back, the wall squats and 1 legged wall squats were a killer, but WOW it felt great! I DON'T like ARX after legs however... your legs are spent by the end of the workout, which makes doing many of the ARX moves very difficult. I guess it's part of the plan, but it sucks... pure sucks.
Saturday was Kenpo-X and I half assed it. I didn't even finish it. Some personal issues at home kept me from being able to put my whole heart into it. Sunday was Stretch and I did SO enjoy that.
Results from week 1... 6.5" inches GONE forever! Including 1.5" from my waist and 1" from my hips. Needless to say I was very pleased. I had chest and back yesterday, which was my first attempt at this workout and I really liked it, but I'm still unable to be effective with the pull up bar (in other words, I can't do a damn pullup, but I try). Tonight will be my first shot at Plyometrics... I'm excited and nervous at the same time.
My "nutrition" suffered over the weekend... I could have done worse, but it wasn't great. I drank WAY too much. I had a jr cheeseburger for dinner one night... I had BBQ Sunday... although I didn't eat very much. Just really didn't care very much this weekend about what I ate, which isn't good. So this week I will be playing catch up... I haven't been sleeping well either, which doesn't help. I really can feel it the next day and my energy level just isn't there.
All in all, I'm only on day 9... the first week took a lot out of me and my body is still adjusting, and obviously rebelling just a little, and I'm ok with that... this is a major lifestyle change and commitment so I have to ease into it. This week will be easier, and next week even easier. I will be into double digits tomorrow!! I am 10% done so far... and I am 6% to my goal for the 90 days as far as measurements... so while these are all baby steps, they are all steps forward and that's all that counts. I push play every day, even on days when I don't want to, I push play. I bring everything I have to the workouts, and in the end it will all pay off. This program is a test of your endurance, strength, willpower and mind... it has been a very challenging 9 days mentally and physically but it has made me look at things in a different way. I don't have to be as good as anyone in the videos, I have to be as good as I can be on that day, and try to be better the next day... I may not be exactly where I want to be 81 days from now, but I will be much further along than I am right now, or than I was 9 days ago. For the first time I am starting to ease up on myself just a little... it's time to be the best I can be, and that's good enough for me.
