Day 30

Today is the final real workout of week 3. Week 3, Day 6 The Warrior... Done! I feel whipped too. I wanted to push myself harder this week because next week is transition week and the exercises usually ease up in preparation for the new block. One third of the way done. I cheated and weighed myself a day early, but that scale had been staring me down. I was down to 320 and 5 more pounds lost. That is a total of 20 lbs since starting P90X and 30 lbs in 30 days.

The workout today was good and as I have stated before, I don't get why some of the elitists feel this workout is no good or useless. I get a good workout. I guess not being the most fit person, it affects me more. If I were not in shape, I might feel the same way. I do feel that some of the push/pull stuff I got accustomed to in P90X are not in X3. The workouts are 30 mins only, and I also feel that for the time put in if the effort is there, it is a good workout especially for someone who is not in any shape at all. For me, the workouts are good enough for my journey.

Doing the workouts are huge thing. Burning calories, keeping that heart pumping and building up a good sweat in the process. You know that you have done something and get the endorphin release which helps in many ways. The key to weight loss, however, is not in the exercise but in the kitchen. The kitchen is where you gain and lose the fat. It is honestly easy to do exercises. They may not be easy to do, but its kind of like monkey see, monkey do. Eating properly requires planning, preparation, and execution. All of which are not a joke on their own much less all together.

I haven't really gotten into my current diet and how I execute that, so I will post another post about my diet regimen and how I execute that daily. Today, however, is the planning and preparation day by going to the store and getting what I need for the week. When I get back, I have to package things for easier use and it allows me to not waste food. I will get into greater detail in my post tomorrow or the next day. Remember today and tomorrow is playoff football, so I might be a bit preoccupied.

Good luck with your watching parties and keep bringing it!
