With this workout I ended up doing 45 burpees which is 10 more than needed for the day. I liked how it felt today as well. I feel like I am getting better at the burpee, but I still get gassed after 10. I notice that my recovery between sets is getting better. We are getting close to the halfway mark for the burpees, which is 15 days, so the numbers are getting up there. Once this week ends for the burpees and we get past that rest day, our numbers will be 50 and over. That seems like so many, but after doing 45 today I know I could have done 15 or 20 more especially if I had the whole day to do them all. It will be good to knock out 100 and say "Yep, I just did that!" I won't be doing 100 on day 31 though haha.
The more I pay attention to what others are doing with their fitness and the P90X3 workouts or whatever they are. I see them doing doubles a lot and I know I can as I did P90X which were hour long workouts, so why couldn't I do another 30 mins. Some of the workouts are tough and I am glad to be done, but I know that I could take 15 min break and do another 30 min workout or go straight into another 30 mins. I will be doing that when I do the next round of P90X3. I will do doubles, but I am going to do my own version of it. I have to be smart about it though. I can't kill my joints and connective tissue. I will have to really think this out. Experimentation is awesome as long as there is no damage done to myself which could cause me to be sidelined for an extended amount of time.
Before I start round 2 of P90X3 I am going to do at least 1 round of 21 Day Fix with the workouts. I want to have a base to work with on that plan. If I get people to do paid challenge groups where they have to get that program, then I should at least do that program once. I will continue to get 21 Day Fix groups going after that, it's too easy not to. Only 21 days in the program one time through. You can do it round after round after round or just once depending on what you want and need to do. I might use those workouts as my double workout as well. All I know is that I am doing doubles in X3 and the 21DF might just be the right workouts to use as my "double" routine.
The 22nd of March is the last day of the program for me. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I want to get some great results. I know that saying I have lost close to 50 lbs, well 40 from the start of X3 but 50 total. The farther below 300 I go the more I can say. I really hope I am closer to 290, but all I can do is just keep pushing hard and eat as clean as I can. I will let the rest fall into place and let the scales fall where they may (sort of speak).
If you are struggling with weight and fitness, you have to do something different. If you do the same thing and expect a different result you will be disappointed. To get different results, you have to change what you are doing. It isn't easy all the time, in fact it is down right hard, especially for me. I know that I want to weigh 235 by November. I know I have to eat as clean as I can and workout with intensity. I have to be persistently consistent about both or I will not get the results I want. I have to trust that the plan that I have made for this goal is the right plan. So far it is. What is your plan? If you need help, and are willing to be coachable, send me a message here or on FB and I will give you all the help I can. I am by no means no expert on health and fitness, but I think I might be an expert on struggling with food. I know how hard it is to get on track with health and fitness and how easy it is to just say, "screw it!" I've done the latter so many times, I should have had a shirt made that says it. (Book title? Maybe so.) Something to think about I guess. Keep crushing it!
