Try, Try Again

I am learning a lesson about myself...I like to put things off and make excuses when it comes to exercise. Last week wasn't so good for Daniel and I when it came to doing our P90X workouts and eating well. We reverted back to our lazy selves. We started again last night and I decided just to start over with day one, since I honestly hadn't even completed a full week yet. We did Legs, Back, and Abs last night. I was pretty excited that I could complete the whole workout because I can't do a pull-up to save my life. The great thing is, I can use the stretchy bands to do my pull-ups. I did 8 sets of 20 reps with the bands and I felt like I could still do more. I will have to increase the weight of the bands on the next workout.

It's nice to being doing this workout routine with Daniel because it gives me encouragement and it makes it more fun to get to spend some quality time with him as well. Even though we both took a week off of the workouts, we both have gotten compliments on how we look like we are losing weight (me), and gaining muscle (Daniel). It gives you such a great feeling when those kind of comments come out of the blue. So we press on, to win the prize. Please keep encouraging me to overcome my lazy nature and achieve this goal.
