Working out just makes me feel good!!! I am going to be less worried about how long it takes me to finish P90x and more interested in getting my body to where I want it. I think focusing on others progress and comparing it to my own is very detrimental to my success. I feel like I should be at a different level than I am, and if I am not where I think I should be then I end up quitting.
Being thrown off the P90x wagon for 2 weeks did a number on my self-esteem and my mood. I felt pretty much worthless and like I was a huge failure. Now that I am back on track I see people that started after me doing better than me and it totally wrecks me. I know if I didn't succumb to the pressure to fall off the wagon then I would probably be in a lot better shape right now and I wouldn't feel like total crap.
But I did fall off the wagon and now I just have to deal withit, get back on, and pick up the slack. I am going to eat the way that I know works for me because the p90x food thing has not been working. I don't know what it is but I just don't feel like I have any energy, maybe lack of carbs. I nomally eat really healthy so I am just going to follow my own plan that I know works for me. I am also starting a running plan. I have always wanted to run and never thought I could. I think it is because I want to be able to just go out the first time and run a few miles. Now that I know that isn't doable and will actually turn me off to running, I have downloaded a running plan off a running website. It gets you ready to run for a full 30 minutes in a couple months. It is really what I need because if I can ease myself into it gradually and become good at it then I will definitely stick with it. It is one of the cheapest workouts ever and you can do it anywhere, all you need is shoes. :)
I have also been looking into some upcoming races and even training sessions for the upcoming Chicago Marathon and Half-Marathon...we will see how ambitious I get.
So I just did my
BACK & BICEPS / AB RIPPER X
workout and tomorrow I will be starting my easy Run/Walk program to get me ready to run a 5K in 2 months time. From the couch to a 5K!! YAY!! I will keep you updated on how I do.

So this is where you have been hanging out giving all of your insight! Don't worry about falling off the wagon. Keep doing the workouts and this new running program. I've noticed that I need to add a little more running into my program as well.
