Have not been blogging...but still pushing play!

In our last round of 30 days during our first stint at P90...we have had several hiccups.  LIFE gets in the way.  It's difficult to keep on top of things when you have such a small baby.  My daughter at 17 months is a handful, already acting our her 'terrible 2's'.  Yet, it's not that she prevents me from doing it, it's scheduling the time to be able to do this with her Dad.  His work schedule leaves little time to workout in the evening, and working out at night keeps me up all night long.  I have managed to workout in the morning, and I also will sometimes do it alone during the day.  I prefer working out with a partner, that's just something that I enjoy.

Regardless, with the sickness and with our trip last week, we once again decided to start the second week of our last 90 days over again.  We just did not give it what it needed last week.  So, in reality we are 2 weeks behind our goal schedule...but it could not be helped. 

Today I did plyo while he is at work.  Jump training hasn't gotten any better for me...I can't stand plyo but it works like crazy!  Well, I do enjoy all the lunges.  I'm a huge fan of lunges.  I have never enjoyed jump training though. 

Working out 6 days a week is brutal.  For me, it's an intensity that is causing me to fight burn out.  I enjoy working out, I enjoy the challenge, feeling  better and all the changes to my body.  I am only frustrated about the schedule.  That being said, I still plan to go through one more round of P90X after this is complete in 3 weeks and then find a workout routine to settle into that is more 3-4 days per week.  Once I have achieved the goals I desire.

I lost another dress size, I am one dress size and a 1/2 (the size I dropped to is still a bit snug) from my goal size.  I am looking forward to more arm definition, and focusing on my abs in a gym.  Ab Ripper X is not long, but again, I prefer working with weights so plan to head to the gym here in a few weeks to mix it up and work on the core area. 

I think Dan is going to switch it up tonight and do a Insanity.  Those are killer.

I think the best mentality to have about taking on a lofty fitness goal such as this is to not give up.  To continue going forward even if for some reason you have struggled or have missed some workouts.  It would be easy to be simply discouraged, but it's hard to push through your frustration and keep on pushing play!

    I'm glad that you guys have stuck with it even though you've had a few hiccups along the way. Love your last paragraph the best. So true! :)
