I have to admit, I’m in love with P90x… No literally. I’m an athletic person by nature and love to workout. It would seem though over the years I’ve got a little lazy. However, with Tony Horton in tow I believe anything is possible and there’s no such thing as aging (right Tony)!!! I will be officially starting my 2nd cycle of P90x next week and believe it or not… I’m looking forward to it. Yet there’s one thing I just have to discuss before I go any further, that dang Recovery week, what gives???

It would seem no matter what I’ve done in my previous weeks the Recovery week seems to be the hardest to get adapted to. Now look, I’m not being lazy or anything of the such. It’s just that Core Synergistics is literally beating me up and then says “Finish him” at the end. No matter the food intake, plenty of rest the night before, Zen like Yoga skills, I can’t shake the inevitable which is ask the question “Did these people really look this good after just 90 days of P90x and accomplish it flawlessly???”  (flawless victory). I mean I wouldn’t be doing a 2nd cycle if I thought I was close or darn close to where I need to be, I hate to say that it’s the latter, or maybe I’m being too hard on myself. So to see these people in the video that move around like pre-charged robots with a few energy drink pills stuck in their mouths… I hate to say it… this discourages me. I know Tony, I shouldn’t say that.

Despite my anger towards people I’ll never meet, I keep pushing play but this week, just this one week in the whole schedule sums my progress up into a Sasquatch aimlessly walking through the trees, with some agility, interesting muscle  content, and enough endurance to just finish the damn thing. What the hell was I doing those other weeks anyway?!?!?!

Ok my rant is over but I will say this, nothing is acquired in a few days or yet a few months so I will definitely stay the course. I will continue to make this work because you know what… nothing else has. I’m still baffled by this one week that believe it or not on my first run was so easy that a cave man could have done it. Then again, I probably had no idea what I was doing and it didn’t matter anyways.

I will tell anyone if it’s hard… work harder, if you don’t get it… work at it until you do, and if you feel like you want to give up… give it just a little more time. Remember you’ve been this way for a long time and no miracle cure is going to undo what it took you so long to accomplish. Or maybe you believe in Santa Clause???

KEEP PRESSING PLAY… DAMMIT!!!!!!!

Stay hungry… (grrrr)…
