Day 19 P90X Legs and Back - Feb 8 2012
Today was legs and back and I worked my ass off. I, once again, did not want to get out of bed. I was tired, my body is tired, and I have only been getting between 6.5-7 hours of sleep a night. I can feel my body needing more rest, but I will have to wait for the weekend to (hopefully) get a little caught up on some rest. As for the exercise, it was tough. I think I sweat more than I have in any of the previous days. I was able to increase my weight and reps on all of the pull up exercises, which I was excited about. I also was able to do all of the leg exercises, even though my legs were absolutely burning. At a few different points they were at failure, and I needed to wait a second and get them back under me.

I didnt do Ab Ripper yet, I was running out of time. I had to be at a meeting early this morning, so I was cut short of my normal block of time. That being said, I am going to (not plan on it, not maybe) do the ab ripper dvd when I get home tonight. I will do all 25 reps of all 11 exercises, and I will do the best that I can.

Mentally, i have been struggling a bit with staying focused, and staying excited. It could have to do with me being tired, it could be that I am just mind fucking myself because I am only 19 days in, and there is still so long to go. Either way, I am still pushing through the negative "you cant/dont have to do it" thoughts. I havent stopped, even though those have been in my head pretty much every day, especially in the mornings when I dont want to get up. the cool thing that has happened over the last 3-4 days, is that my son has noticed that I have been going to the gym every morning. He is now counting the days with me, and rooting me on in a round about way. I mean, he hasnt cheered me on, but the fact that he has noticed, and has been keeping track, makes me want to keep going, to show him that when you start smethign you finish. Another thing, is that my friend josh has started too, and both of us have started and never finished any of these 3 month/ 90 day programs a number of times. We both have agreed to keep each other accountable, and motivate one anotehr to keep going, and not stop.

So 19 days done. Or they will be when I do Ab Ripper tonight. 20 is Kenpo X which I am excited bout, to burn some calories, and keep working to shed this little belly I have, and get it six pack like.
