Day 101

It would seem that the last few days have been my undoing. That is not the case, but I have neglected to post for one reason or another. Just so I can catch up on this blog. Today would be day 91 or finish plus 1 of P90X3. No workout scheduled. Yesterday I did Dynamix and Friday I just did my burpees and pushups. I had another long drive to Little Rock on Friday and we left at 6am. I lost out on that day, but did manage to continue on with the burpees. Yesterday I did the Dynamix, burpees and did 50 pushups after for my final fit test of X3.

I also celebrated with some pizza from Papa Murphy's. We got a large Cowboy and a large Mediterranean Chicken. I really like that 2nd one. I also helped procure a large amount of material for my mom's business which all of that and the other few errands we did took up a big chunk of the day. We got it all done and I did all I needed to get done with my workouts. I took pics, weighed and measured. The pics needed to be redone so that was done today. The measurements looked pretty good and my weight is down to 296. I officially lost 44 lbs on P90X3, but since starting the good nutrition and working out I am down 54 lbs. I don't really look at my inches lost total as I really want to lose weight first and foremost.

Today I did 21 Day Fix Yoga Fix and my 75 burpees. I still have a few pushups yet to do, but that will come. Tomorrow I start the 3 week 21 Day Fix which I might or might not keep doing after the 3 weeks just yet. I want to see how the next 3 weeks go then move forward from there. I liked Yoga Fix and it is essentially the same as X3 Yoga, but there are some differences that I really like. The longer pauses in downward dog are really taxing and I enjoyed that. There is also a lot more static stretching in this and the balance poses were better for me and gave some good tips with poor balance. X3 Yoga is almost like an assumption that you have some balance. I understand that P90X3 is an extreme workout and there needs to be some forgiveness in there for the less athletic and physically fit among us. You can get better with either, but I see how it could be easier for someone using this workout versus the X3 program. All I know is that I did it and I got stronger and lost weight.

What I did isn't a mircale and honestly it really isn't great feat. The best part or greatest accomplishment is that I made a choice. I chose not to let life happen to me and accept that the way things are, instead I decided to change what I was doing because that is the only way to change who you are and what will happen to you in the future. Take charge and be an active participant in your own life, not a spectator.
