I
had a little setback this week. I went to start the P90X program this
past Sunday only to find out the discs I had, which were copies of
copies of the program, didn’t
work properly and so I was unable to start it. Instead of just popping
in another one of my workout dvd’s, I simply gave up. Thankfully, I
didn’t binge. I just gave up and got in the shower and loafed around on
the couch until it was time to go to work.
I was going to try to convince myself to just buy the program new from
Beachbody itself, but then I realized that I could possibly find the
program used on Craigslist for a lot cheaper. I found one set for $50,
messaged the guy but never heard back from him.
So, I messaged the guy that had it for $30. That guy messaged me back
only to tell me that his set was copies, but they were copies straight
from the original and were in picture perfect condition and did come
with all the documents that the original program
comes with. Plus, it has 3 discs that I don’t have in my copies of
copies. So that’s a bonus. I figure, if the discs turn out to be bunk,
I only spent $30 on them. But I’m hoping they work as good as he says
they do. So, I will be starting P90X this coming
Sunday and I really couldn’t be more excited about it. Of course, I’m
anxious about it, like I am about starting or doing anything new. I’m
afraid I won’t get bitten by the exercise bug, which I shouldn’t even
worry about because I ALWAYS get bitten by the
exercise bug, I just have to take the first steps and actually start
exercising and it is pretty much guaranteed to happen.
I’m
really hoping that P90X becomes my exercise salvation. I need
something that I look forward to doing every day, something that
inspires me to get out of bed in
the morning. I need to sweat. I need to exert myself. I need the
stress relief. I know that once I’ve started exercising regularly
again, what I’m eating will just fall into place. I will crave
healthier foods. I will no longer long for junk foods like
pizza and cheeseburgers. Baked chicken, baked fish and loads of
grilled and steamed veggies will be what my body wants more than
anything else.
I’ve
already taken my beginning measurements and pictures. I was sad to see
that of the 24 pounds I lost at the beginning of this year, I had
regained 20 of them.
Ugh. That puts me back at 205. And that means that I now have upwards
of 45 pounds left to lose, instead of just 30 or 35. I’ve set a goal
timeframe of getting below 170 by my birthday, December 14th.
That’s 5 months. That means I need to lose
at least 7 pounds a month to achieve the 35 pounds, which would put me
at 170. I can totally do that. It’s not unreasonable in the slightest.
I've read some of your older posts and this new one... Keep with it girl. Don't give up. When workouts get tough-- that is where change happens in our body.
