First day of a new year
Well, I know it has been a while since I posted but I was finishing up my body for life and taking the week off to enjoy the holidays with the family. At the end of the year I came up with some new goals for fitness this year. First I want to run 500 miles before the end of the calendar year, I also want to gain about 20 pounds of muscle, and I want to get my body fat percentage down to single digits. Outside of fitness I want to work to serve others more and actually pick a bible reading plan for the year and stay on track with it. None of this seems to be too out of reach and I have high expectations that I can do all of them. As I stated at the end of the year I have to come up with a new fitness plan this year since body for life ended last year and since my loving wife was good enough to get me P90X for Christmas that is what I am doing. Today was the first workout and I will tell you what it was not easy, the first day is chest and back and everyone I know that has done or is doing the program all say it is the hardest workout. I really hope that is the case because it was tough but I got through it. I finished the workout around 8 this morning and I am already starting to feel sore in the chest and the back, but as you all know that is what I like. One thing I can say is that the workout showed me that doing the body for life did make me stronger and I was able to do more push ups and pull ups than I thought that I would be able to. This program also comes with a nutrition plan but it is not quite as bad as the one in body for life so I don't think I will get sick of it as quickly as I did that one since I can eat a lot mo Ethan I could before and I don't have to worry about doing it in six meals I can make my day fit my portion numbers. Another great thing about it is that I get more than just protein and carbs, I get dairy, fruit, fat, vege all the food groups so I will have a night variety of food to eat. Anyway tomorrow is jump training day and I am looking forward to is since I have pretty good leg muscles the Wednesday is biceps triceps and shoulders which everyone know is my favorite. Keep a look out tomorrow since I am starting to post again to see just how sore I am in the morning and how my jump training went. Forgive any typos, I did this post from the iPad and didn't look up too much while typing,
