Feeling much better today
After a tough day yesterday I am feeling much better today. It really is amazing how a good workout can change your state of mind. Today was lower body workout day and the first time I have done the LBWO since the run. Today was also the day that I added more weight to all of the exercises except the abs, although I did try, and I could really feel the difference. Today my legs feel a lot like they did after my very first LBWO so I can't wait to see how they feel tomorrow. If how they are feeling now is any indication and according to Bill Phillips sore is good than you can call me today the tiger because I am thinking I will be GRRREEEAAATT!!! Putting the X on my calendar today also helped my mood and helped get my motivation back because now I am halfway through the 5th week and will soon be starting the half way point. I am still starting to see muscle definition in my arms and in my legs but I don't think I am going to end up having the chest and ab definition I was looking for by the time I am done. I think I have too much of an up hill battle with the loose and extra skin I have from when I weighed 265 lbs. If that is the case I am going to just have to work harder. I don't know that I will be doing the body for life again after this, not so much because it does not work because it does, just because I don't want to have to go through another 12 weeks of the diet that I am on now. I like the food and I don't ever feel hungry it just takes so long to get everything together each week and I would much rather spend that time with the family enjoying time with each other rather than in the kitchen portioning tuna. I have been looking around on the Internet to see what I want to do when I am done with this program in case I am not happy with the body that comes out the other end and to remain in shape for years to come. Right now I am still looking at P90X and I have also started to do a little research into Insanity. Right now I think I am leaning to the P90X because it is more muscle tone where as Insanity is more cardio. Not that I have to make a quick decision and since I am cheap neither one may win that battle and I just might continue to use the weight room here at work. Whatever I end up doing it won't be until after the new year. I took a look at the calendar and I will be finishing up body for life the week of December 12th, I plan on enjoying the holidays, within reason, then make a decision on what to do next. It is funny just how addicting fitness can become if you really want it.
