90 P90X

I finished my p90X program on Saturday.  I substituted the Kenpo for Yoga, because I like the Kenpo more than the yoga.  Something about th 90 minutes of Yoga (which feels like 2+ hours to me) versus the 55 minutes of Kenpo which feels like about 20 minutes.  I’m not as ripped as I had hoped, but I kind of figured that since I wasn’t following the nutrition plan.  I did shed some ugly fat, gained some good muscle, and reshaped my midsection, my face, and my shoulders a bit which is what I was hoping for.  I also seem to have improved my posture, added to my endurance, and found some long lost ab definition.

I decided I would take this week off from exercise, but it is only Tuesday and I am starting to feel like I want to exercise.  Maybe running this week, although it is getting cold out.  We may have some flurries and flakes this week!  I like running in the cold when I am properly warmed up.  I may do some more Kenpo and Plyo – although I was a bit sick of the plyo set.  I can totally see me losing some of the gains pretty quickly if I don’t do some maintenance work – and I don’t want that to happen.  I worked too hard to get here.  I really want to keep steady for the next 6 weeks and then push hard come January and see if another 90 days will get me even better.

I think my 40s are going to be a good decade!
