Day 45

Week 5, Day 7 Dynamix done. Today is the end of the first week of block 2. Only 2 more weeks in this block and then transition week. Although it may seem like a struggle daily to get up and do the workout. It's never as bad as you imagine and you feel so much better after doing it.

I mentioned at some point during one of the first days of restarting my blog, that I might not post daily and I didn't at the very first. Since starting P90X3 I have blogged daily what I have done and some of my thoughts about each exercise and various non essential things. The idea of staying socially accountable is what I have embedded into my psyche since starting. I think, at least for me, it is very important. To be socially accountable means that I put myself out there for others to see. Whether or not it motivates, inspires or disgusts anyone, I have no idea. That truly isn't the reason I do it. I do it for myself. If I hold myself accountable to any and everyone that chooses to pay attention for whatever reason, then I am more personally motivated to do what I say. I post pictures so just typing out that I do the workouts every day can't be just that, words on paper or the internet in this case. I will have to show results or its all just a facade.

I am enjoying block 2 so far and really like the workouts. Now that my first week is over and I have seen and done the workouts, it is time to step up the intensity and really bring it this next week and build upon what I have learned and gained from week 1. My goal for this block is to put more intensity in every week. Increase my numbers and in turn I will have better gains. With this section being more muscle building intensive it will be interesting to see where my total weight will go. I have decided after last week's Sunday weigh in not to check the scale until the 60 day mark. I will continue to the same things I have been doing otherwise. I just want to focus on the nutrition and the workouts and not the number on the scale. I know that if I maintain or increase the intensity of the workouts and continue to eat as clean as I can, the numbers will fall into place.

Enjoy the ProBowl today... Pfft... Who ever enjoys that except the players that go to Hawaii. Next Sunday is SuperBowl Sunday and it is a day I have been struggling with as far as what I might be eating that day. I want to make some very tasty snacks that will not be the healthiest. I think though that I will just stick with the plan and stay on course. If you choose to eat and drink outside of the realm of "healthy" eating and drinking, then have fun and remember that it's only one day and you can just get back on track on Monday. Don't feel regret or remorse over it. Enjoy the day, then move on.
