Today I completed the first of three phases of P90X.\u00a0\u00a0To be honest I haven’t yet seen the gains that I hoped to achieve by now, but I’m only 1\/3rd\u00a0through the program, so I’m still hopeful.\u00a0 And I can tell that my strength and endurance have increased, and I have lost some weight, though I’m trying not to focus on weight because I don’t think it means anything when replaced with muscle.\u00a0\u00a0In defense of P90X, I’m still not doing the entire workouts, following the nutrition guides, or buying any of their supplements.\u00a0 I’m just trying to do 45 minutes a day, 5 or 6 days a week,\u00a0with no change of diet, and that isn’t P90X.<\/p>\n
To counter balance the risk of\u00a0vanity,\u00a0this year I’ve also taken up other things\u00a0including:\u00a0Gifts of the Spirit, CWP, blogging, flossing, far less use of alcohol, and the Topical Memory System.\u00a0 This week I’m 4\/5th way through TMS.\u00a0 I’m not 100% on all 48 verses, but I’m at least a solid B, and I’m pretty proud of that.\u00a0 Of course the real question will be retention, same issue with P90X.\u00a0 Unlike taking a test, these are things that I’ll have to continue to work on forever, not just get a grade and be satisfied.\u00a0 I’ve also\u00a0read a couple of books this year,\u00a0which is a real shocker to those who know me, though not as many as I had planned to read by now.<\/p>\n
Is it mid-life crisis?\u00a0 Probably, but at least I’m responding to it positively and not buying things I can’t afford or doing things I might regret.\u00a0 Becca is gracious to allow me some time, space, and money to do these things, thanks Becca.\u00a0 But if I get back down under 225, I might have to reward myself, Becca will join me.<\/p>\n
Bring it,<\/p>\n
