Day 37

Today was the last true workout day for the first transition week. Tomorrow is Dynamix or rest, which I always choose to do the Dynamix. Today, Week 4, Day 6 X3 Yoga done. I feel like I am getting stronger in the balance moves. I was also able to hold through the final salutation where you do the standing leg splits. I had been putting my foot down during that one move and today I was able to hold all the way through. Big bonus for me.

I like the yoga workout and know it helps. I also slow way down during the figure 4 series. I slow down at the spinal twist part just to get a good stretch in my back. I think even though I am doing yoga once a week, that I need to do this more than once a week, almost like the Dynmaix warmup for a workout. Lofty ideas. For now I will suffice to do my P90X3, pushup challenge and 30 day plank challenge. I have to remember I am not superman and I need to slowly build up to doubles and more workouts daily. Overdoing it can result in injury and no matter how well you think you are doing, rest is a needed thing. It allows the muscles to have that regen time and when they get stronger, then you add more.

I am getting antsy to start my Beachbody coaching again. I know I have to start that at some point. I really need to get myself in better shape first. I know I am very anxious to get going. I see all that time wasted since 2009 and could just kick myself. I will not let this happen again. I can't. I am starring 50 in the face and need to be a better me so when I am 50, I won't feel 50. It starts with the daily routine. Do the workouts and eat clean and the health and fitness will return. Become the coach and help others achieve their goals.

Tomorrow is my "30 day" check in. I will weigh, take pictures and take measurements. I will post them at some point tomorrow here and go from there. I put the quotes around 30 day because it's actually 28 days for the program, but it's the end of the transition week so it is really 28 days, but not much will change in 2 days. If anything changes it will be my weight up or down by a pound or two, but nothing more. I looked at my transition pics from my first round of P90X and I think I might post that as well to show a comparison of what it looked like with P90X and then with P90X3. I know I have lost weight. Everyone around me has noticed the loss. I want positive results weekly and don't want to get frustrated with lower numbers than what I am expecting. I know it's just a number and I know I am sweating and I know I am eating clean. By that formula I will lose weight. I just have personal goals and hope I can hit them. I actually wanted to be under 300 by the end of the first round, and by the looks of things I will. How far under will be entirely up to me. Now time to do some pushups.
