Day 13
Yes, day 13, I've survived the P90X program so far, woo hoo! And yes, this is my first post, I know I should have started on Day 1, but I was too busy nursing my achy muscles to do anything else. For those of you who don't know what is P90X, here's the link to the site. The "X" stands for extreme and trust me they're not exaggerating. I have muscles hurting that I didn't even realize I had...and I'm loving every minute of it! I can honestly say that P90X is the best thing, or one of the best things that have happened to me.
This exercise program kicks-ass, but if you stick with it day after day after day, you're going to feel like a million bucks. And I think it's simply because you're pushing yourself to the limit; you're telling your inner lazy, couch-potato fatso to shut-up and instead you're finally doing something to take control of your mind and body. It's at the same time freeing and self-redeeming. Even though during the workouts I probably look pathetic with all the panting and wheezing, (those diamond push-ups are demonic, and hell, is plyometric even humanly possible!) but mentally I feel like I'm Hippolyta the Amazonian Queen, and physically I feel strong and confident, like a sleek, lean lioness. Ok, perhaps I still have a ways to go before I become "sleek" and lioness-ish, but that's not the point.
This blog is going to document my P90X journey. I don't know where the program will take me, I'm hoping it'll transform me into a super-hot bikini body, but even if it doesn't, it'll change my life. I'm going to live a fit, healthy and full life. The P90X challenge for me will not merely be testing my physical endurance, it will be the ultimate challenge as to whether I have what it takes to transform myself, ALL of myself.
I want to share my journey with the world, partly to keep me accountable to myself, but largely so that I can share my personal experiences, thoughts and knowledge that I gain along the way with those who, perhaps, are also on the same journey.
