The alarm goes off at 4:45 and I realize that reaching over takes extra effort to hit the snooze button. As I am waking up, I feel sore and my back is so stiff that I feel like I am like 80 years old (not that I really know what that feels like) so I talk myself into and out of doing P90X.....so To do P90X or Not to do P90X....that is the question.
I am sitting here and I recall so many mornings feeling aches and pains and I would take Tyenol all day just to be able to move. I felt bad so I used food to comfort me and naturally they were all bad food choices. But that was then and this is now....
So today, being with a new mindset and outlook on my health and fitness, I knew I had to get out of bed no matter how hard that was and do my best at Cardio X. And that is exactly what I did!!! The first part of Cardio X is a yoga warmup and by the end of that part of the workout I felt so good streatching everything out and moving...getting the blood flowing!!! So at this point I was ready to work hard and "burn off some goo" then as usual when I need to work out most....Benjamin is screaming at the top of his lungs for me to come and get him. Aggggggggg....I was feeling so much better and to cut off the workout because of the baby was not going to happen....not today...not when I needed it most!
Again, in the past I would use any excuse to stop so a crying baby was perfect....not today!!! I changed him, got him some milk and took him downstairs to workout with me....and that is exactly what we did. I wish I had a video of this kid doing Ball kicks and Superman Bananna....hahahaha....he was so cute and funny but I as I was working out with my little man I knew that times have changed and I am so proud of myself for not giving up and I know that I am teaching him to be fit and healthy....so to do P90X today was the best thing I could have done for my body and for my son:)
So do something good for yourself and your family today....take care of your health and get fit!!!
