Day 24

Completely done with week 2 by completing the Dynamix workout. Two weeks down and twelve weeks to go. I know that I haven't done everything to complete failure on my part, but I never expected to be that way at the start. I am coming from absolutely doing nothing to doing an extreme fitness program. I have to grade myself on a curve, but that doesn't mean that I can't increase what I am doing each time I push that play button.

Brass tacks. I need to look up where and why that saying actually means something. Anyway, I have been doing P90X3 for 14 days. I have lost around 15 pounds since starting down to 325 lbs on my scale. That is around 25 pounds over the last 24 days. I wish I would lose on average of 1 pound per day, but I know that is not reality. That is total weight loss, not total fat loss. We all should understand that when you do resistance work, you are going to gain muscle weight. Where the line falls as to how much muscle mass is gained and fat lost is hard to gauge. You just need to watch your definition, the way your clothes fit and what you see in the mirror. Those are true tale of the tape, although taking measurements is also a good thing and remember the before, during and after pics.

Today I feel less sore than I did last Sunday. I also know that I increased my effort and intensity and weight in some cases during the workouts this last week. That means that my muscles are starting to feed off the workouts and respond positively which means the recovery is better and more efficient. This also means I need to increase my workload per workout in the upcoming week. This is the last week in this block before transition week, so I have to kill it. Go to failure and put out as much effort and as long as I can. I probably won't up my numbers on pushups and pullups, but I will be upping my curling amount. I also need to focus on really killing my core this week. Slowly but surely I will get this body stronger all over. I will be able to look back and shake my head at where I was. I will be able to look forward and smile at where I am going.

You should do the same.
