Week 3 & 4

It took me a while to finish these weeks, but I did!  I had some things come up at work that set me back a little, plus a small injury that lasted longer than I wanted it to.  I am still looking to change my disease with this workout and feel that it is very possible to do. 

I love what this workout does for me each and every day, so much that I felt different when I wasn't working out these last few weeks.  I lost some of the energy that I had attained from these workouts.  I want that back, very quickly.  Plus, by taking some time away from the P90X I lost some flexibility in both Stretching and Yoga, very much missed.
Yoga does more for me than any other workout in this Program.  How?
  • My job at Wal-Mart is kind of stressful and Yoga takes all the stress away
  • My flexibility has been a ? mark all my life, Yoga has changed that in an instant
  • It gives me the ability to strengthen my core from week to week
  • Yoga has taught me to breath through pain, instead of letting it linger
Now that I am back in full force I am looking forward to taking this workout to the next level.  When I went through this program the first time, I did not work hard, rather I did each exercise with the thought that I wanted to get through them.  For example; when it was a weight lifting exercise I only lifted 8-10lbs at the most, now I am lifting 15-20lbs on those same exercises.  That doesn't seem like much to you, but it is, trust me!
My goal is not to bulk up for size purposes instead to build muscle in places that will help my Fibromyalgia take a back seat in this Journey.  I have done no research in this matter, I am taking a chance on the Muscle Confusion from P90X, there just has to be something out there that can help slow this disease down to the point where it takes a back seat in my life.

If I had to describe where I am at right now and where my diseases are as well, I would describe it like this:
  1. Before I started this Journey- Fibromyalgia & Lupus were in the drivers seat
  2. After I started P90X I moved Both to the middle of the drivers seat
  3. Right now they are in the passengers seat
  4. My goal is to put them both in the backseat for good
On another note, I have decided to join the "Team Beach Body" as a coach, my commitment to this is for one reason, to help people reach their goals one day at a time.  My goal is not to hustle people with this company, but rather to use my story to help change peoples lives.  I am grateful for Tony Horton's passion with his company that I want to share my success with all who will listen.  If you are interested in trying one of the Beach Body Programs but you need more info., that's where I come in.
So Bring It,
Kevin
