YES! I did IT! I completed P90X2. Sunday April 8th, 2012 was the VERY last day of P90X2. It was a rest day and I took it! But the program was not as hard as I thought it would be.. Now it is HARD. Matter of fact it is brutal! But it is NOT so hard that it could not be completed. It does take determination, dedication, and time. I made time. Tony Horton is so motivating and he knows how to talk to people. Getting them to push a little harder for a little longer. I didn't want to disappoint him. I didn't want to disappoint myself. There were time I had to skip a workout here and again but I never fell off the program. I never gave up. The more I did the more I wanted to do. The farther along the program I went the more I wanted to keep going.
Am I at my goal weight? No. Am I where I want to be? No. Am okay with that? Yes! I wish people could know how great exercise feels. Sounds crazy.. I know, I know.... BUT. I started out with a 'weight loss journey' but it has become so much more. I wish people could understand where the dedication and determination comes from. I forget what is bothering me. I forget how bad things can get. It gives me focus. It gives me joy. It relieves a lot of stress. It ultimately makes me feel good. It makes me want to do more. Resistence to exercise has become futile. Crushed. Smashed. Broken! Every day before I go to bed and every day when I wake up I think about what I am going to do to exercise. It took MONTHS to get here. M-O-N-T-H-S.
Chalene Johnson (TurboJam, TurboFire) says don't think of how you feel when you start to exercise, think of how you feel when you are done. That is the difference. I think about how GOOD it feels when I am done. Not the aches, pains, twinges, strains. The end of the workout. The finish...
You can do it too. Ciao
