P90X - Week 9 DONE!

I feel great. I think it's pretty cool to be able to say I successfully completed P90X.. and I'm almost there. If I had to rate the experience so far I'd say it was tough but definately worth it. There is good and bad.. days I have a lot of energy and excited about my workout. Days I can push hard and really know I got the most out of it. Then there are many days I just didn't feel like working out. Days I felt exhausted and out of gas. Days I knew it wasn't my best but I brought it anyway. Overall, I think just showing up and pushing play makes all the difference in the world. I could have easily given myself an excuse and not worked out on the days I didn't feel like pushing myself. But I don't.. because I don't allow myself to have excuses. The only option is to push play.. doesn't matter what I feel like doing. I think that's the attitude you have to approach your workouts with... cuz there will always be an excuse. I didn't get enough sleep, I have to work, my favorite show is on... you have to make your workout a priority.. just like eating and sleeping is a must.. working out has to be a must. The hardest part for most people is finding the time.. well in my case I just MAKE time.. I get up early or tivo my favorite shows. Life is too short to fill it with excuses for why I am not the person I want to be. I want to be physically fit and I want to live a long and healthy life. There is no way to achieve that without putting in the work. Making smart food choices and working out is the only way to make it happen.
