So those infamous excuses wanted to creep their way back in this morning and justify why I should skip out on Day 3 of my P90X workout. After completing Plyometrics yesterday for Day 2, I was hurtin...bad. My chest is sore, my legs are wobbly, my back is tight, and my arms are feeling like jello.
The last thing I wanted to do wash push play, so I dilly-dallied on the computer for a bit while drinking my shakeology. Sure enough, the first thing I see in my newsfeed is a YouTube video of the 90-Day RevAb Test Group (http://youtu.be/vohCWmf1SyM). As I am watching this video the guilt started to set in. One of my main motivaters for deciding to start P90X, was seeing my best friend, Jackie's results. She was part of the RevAbs Test Group and altough I did not think she had an ounce to lose, I could not believe how ripped she got after completing the program. So, of course about 30 seconds into the video, there she is being interviewed with her before and after pictures, and 6-pack abs. Argh! That was my sign to get my butt up and get the workout done.
As I started to do the excercises, I was actually surprised that all the soreness I woke up with, seemed to not be an issue. Plyometrics was difinitely a challenge for me because Tony just goes, goes, goes! I had a hard time keeping up, and was completely exhausted after. I guess I am figuring out that I do better with the weights, than the cardio. Anyway, finishing day 3 felt like a big accomplishment because not only did I keep up with the program, I overcame those excuses and followed through on the commitment I made to do this program for myself.
So my big 'ah-ha' moment today is that making the decision to do P90X wasn't just to get ripped, it was also about building confidence in myself, overcoming that doubter voice inside of me, and proving that I can do this.
