Many of you know that the past week was very challenging for me and for my family. Thank you to everyone who offered support and prayers. That being said, my rest week came a week early. I had not worked out since Tuesday and my nutrition was a disaster. Normally I would be very discouraged today and feel like giving up. But this time is different. Maybe it is the circumstances, but this time I am more resolved than ever to make it to the end.
I went for a 5.16 mile run today and worked my core and I will restart P90X tomorrow. I'll go ahead and do week three of phase 1 and may even add in one more week before I move on to Phase 2, just to get solidly back on track. It will depend on how I feel. I did one Chalean Extreme workout last Monday and while it will always be my first BB love, there is something about this P90X. I did Chest and Back last Tuesday and I am getting noticeably stronger each week. I can't stop now right?
I'm strangely excited to get back to my veggie-filled diet. We watched a very interesting movie last night called Fat Sick and Nearly Dead. I think a prolonged fast is an extreme way to get started on the path to healthy eating but this film is really good. It shows exactly what the standard american diet is doing to a lot of people and really exposes what very obese people go through as a result of their diet. Here's the link to Hulu where you can watch for free: Fat Sick and Nearly Dead movie link just in case it doesn't play below.
