I am so glad to be back home. It was a long weekend with the cookout and also an extremely busy one as well. The last two days at work seemed to take forever to go by.
As far as my workouts go, I have only missed 3 scheduled workouts since starting which is still 3 to many. Can't wait to do my workout this afternoon. I have been slacking a little on my diet since saturday but plan to get back on track tomorrow since we will be going to a birthday supper for the wifes grandmother.
Anyways, guess I better be going.

Many of life’s failures are people who had not realized how close they were to success when they gave up.”
Today, 10-13-10, started off decent, but as the day went on it seemed to get slower and slower. I was absolutely not feeling like working out. I was looking around on facebook, and talked with my coach John. He definitely motivated me to get my workout in today. I didn't start today until around 10 p.m. but, the main thing is that I did complete it.
I found a quote online a few weeks ago which is definitely a good motivator. I guess I should have read it again today.

With me being approx 68 days into this program, I have made it to far to give up and quit now. Anyways, it is getting late (11:30 pm). Its time for bed, got a busy day for tomorrow. Good Night.

I have finally made it home from work. When I got home, there was a package that I had ordered from Beachbody.com that had the p90x recovery drink formula in it. I have been extremely sore here lately after workouts and I am hoping that this will help keep me from being so sore after my workouts. Wednesday, at OFD, I was so tired after my workouts and thought I pulled a muscle in my forearm. My arms felt like they were just about to melt off of me. Yesterday came around and my forearm was really sore but luckily yesterdays workouts was only stretching. I think I corrected the problem and my arms feel wonderful today.
I have yet to do my workout for today, and not really looking forward too it, but it has to be done. I am so ready for the 90 day mark to get here so I can take another set of pictures to see if there has been any change. I am still going too try and lose another 24 lbs which will put me at 200 lbs.
I guess I had better be going because I have got to get the back porch cleaned off and trash taken to the dumpster. Hope everyone has a great day.

Well I have finished my workout for the day. Cardio wasn't nearly as hard as I remember the last two or three weeks being. When I finished I completely drenched with sweat. As I got about ten minutes into the actual workout, I felt like I had injured myself so I had to stop the workout long enough to restretch. I wasn't sure if I would get the problem corrected or not, but fortunately I was able to work it out.
I am just hoping that tomorrow, I will be able to complete my workout without being interrupted with any calls. Thanks to everyone who has given me positive comments on facebook and in person. It really helps a lot, especially those days where you just absolutely do not feel like doing anything at all. Also, please be sure to check out my other two sites. I am posting the website links below.

If you are looking to lose weight, but maybe you don't want to have to do the intense workouts of P90X, then you should check out the second link I posted. It comes in two different flavors, Chocolate and Greenberry. Personally I have only tried the Chocolate flavor and it is flipping awesome. If you are wondering what it is, it is a meal replacement. I'll be honest with you and tell you before you click on the link that it cost $120. Now I know you are saying, DANG THAT IS EXPENSIVE!! But look at it this way, it would cost you $4 per shake/day. Where else will you go on your lunch our at lunch to buy a healthy meal for $4? For more information, that I am not 100% familiar with at the moment, be sure to check out the second link.
If you are thinking of doing the P90X program but still have hesitations about it, I say go for it. If my lazy butt can do it, then anyone else can do it as long as you put your mind to it and not let anything get in your way. When I started, I never would have thought that I could lose the 18 lbs that I have lost so far and if I can do it so can you. It is tough, but the longer you stick too it, it will get a little easier each time you push play.
I am hoping that after this 90 days, I can do a hybrid program of Insanity and P90X to hopefully help me lose more weight and too get into even better shape. If there is anything you have questions about please don't hesitate to contact me and I will do everything that I can too help you out.
Take Care,
Michael

My First Post
Hey all. This is my first blog, so just bare with me on this. Yesterday was a start of a whole new set of workouts for the P90X, which whas pretty awesome. I tend to get extrememly bored with doing the same things over and over again. This last month of round 1, seems to be more weight lifting than I have been used too. Yesterday was really tough for me, but I survived. Today's workout is Cardio which is pretty awesome.
I have stuck to the meal plan by the book 99% of the time. This month I am aiming to up that 99% too 100%. The meal plan was kinda tough at first to get used too, but at this point there is nothing else that I would rather eat. There was one day where I had just a little bit of fried food, which is really hard too avoid, and it just about made me sick. Anyways I guess that is all for now. I will try to get back on later and update.
BRING IT!!!
