Ball of Sweat

Look at that!  2 days in a row of posting on the 'ol blog!  Probably don't get used to it :)  Today was Plyocide...in P90X, I actually really enjoyed Plyometrics...and I had done Plyocide with my wife, just not all the way through since she was working out and I was watching the kids.  Man oh man...what a workout!  I actually like this one better than Plyo in P90X.  Tony does more of the "fun" stuff...like where he calls out at random what you're supposed to do.  Having to listen kinda keeps your mind off your legs screaming at you and your heart wanting to explode (maybe that's just me).  Plus I want to say it's a little shorter in length...50 min. or so, I think.

I'm really feeling good about myself as far as the P90X2 goes...I've done a pretty good job in keeping with the nutrition plan, and I've done my workouts.  Granted, it's only Day 2...but for me, it's really about getting it done one day at a time.  I have so many battles with myself everyday.  I'm really a mindless grazer when it comes to food...if it's there, I just eat it without any thought.  Like I mentioned yesterday, I made up a tracking sheet for my food and put it on the fridge.  I think seeing it frequently really helps keep me in check.  But I still have to constantly tell myself that munching on those crackers or eating whatever tasty thing I see isn't going to help me get to my goal.  It's a mental balancing act...win the battles moment by moment, day by day...all the while keeping my end goal in sight to help me win the battles.  I'm also happy with myself that I haven't even tried to talk myself out of doing a workout...I'm pretty good at that.  I think it's REALLY going to help me that you get 2 days off a week in P90X2...for me, it's Wed. and Sun.  So that day off can be my prize for working out 2 or 3 days in a row.  I had a really hard time working out 6 days in a row with P90X.

Moral of the story:  I'm feeling good about myself, and I wanted to share that with you :)
