well, it's something...

So my working out has been super hit or miss the last while due to the hernia thing....I'm starting to slightly regret pushing back the surgery to January, but I tell myself that financially it'll be nicer...I do miss working out on a daily basis, though.  I get in a Shakeology workout here and there, but it's hard to stay motivated when my ability to workout is dependent on how my stupid groin feels.  Someone once said at a Beachbody thing that it's way easier to stay on track with your exercise and eating habits if you follow a specific program, and it's so so true.  Not that I've ever been good with the eating habits part even when I was sticking with a specific program, but I did pretty good...and it was so much easier to be dedicated to working out when it was habit.

Tonight I attempted the Yoga workout from the One on One series.  For those who don't know what the One on One series is, you should click here .  The Yoga is fun and crazy...and that coming from a guy who really doesn't care much for Yoga.  Tony has some new moves that are pretty ridiculous.  Some I can do, many I can not...but how awesome would it be to get to where I could do it?  I think that's one of the things I really like about P90X (and presumeably its successor, MC:2)...it's got stuff for you to work towards.  Sure right now I can't do Crane or some other pose, but if I work at it, eventually I will be able to.  That way you can celebrate the little milestones.  You've got your 30, 60 and 90 day stats, and you've got the "ability milestones" as you are able to do things you couldn't before.

Sadly I had to stop my (surprisingly) enjoyable Yoga time about 30 minutes in because my hernia was feeling weird and I didn't like it.  It's not so much that it hurt, it just felt weird and made me feel uncomforable...so I stopped.

I need to make a point of being better at exercise this week, especially with my challenges of will power around yummy food.  Joyful and I have done a good job of just not having stuff in our house that I shouldn't eat...but we're going to my mom's on Christmas Eve, and I'm sure that will be a potential for gluttony if I'm not careful.  As I mentioned once before, I work out obviously because it makes me more fit and healthy, but also because I like to eat :)

I'll try to do a better job of blogging...it's been a while since I wrote anything...but just in case, have a Merry Christmas!
