Day 2 Workout Done

OH MY GOODNESS

Well that's quite an intro. Plyometrics, or what they affectionately call "The Beast" is 1 full hour of non stop hard work. It was hard on both of us, we had to break a few times when it wasn't called for, but we were able to keep up at a fairly decent pace for our second day in. It was brutal, for sure. Getting the workout in earlier in the day is easier I think. I hope after the weekend we can bump our routine to mornings.

I'm having a hard time cleaning up the kitchen after making a crock pot full of chicken cabbage vegetable soup. I'm having a hard time typing this email. :)

We keep discussing what our end result will be, and how we want to do P90X Extreme for another 90 days if all goes well with this. These are pretty lofty goals. That means that we have some non stop pretty heavy duty workouts for the next 6 months.

I like to think about the other changes that will come with these workouts. The mental change, the attitude change and endorphine release. The feeling of working hard and meeting your goals. The focus on healthy foods. We are vegetarians normally, that was a lifestyle change after our daughter was born. I think we tend to focus on healthful eating most of the time. But things like bad carbs, sweets, caloric drinks and so on seem to creep in to our weekly routine. It's time to make a hard move away from that direction.

I think doing this 6 days non stop is going to be the biggest challenge. As hard as I worked out before Madison was born, I did it every other day, two days in a row at the most. I think that this time our commitment is such that we won't suffer burn out. But we'll see.

This is an interesting journey.

I should sleep gooooood tonight.
