Why am I doing this?

I have found that I am in need of a project. I also have several goals that seem to be nagging me lately. 1. I need to get in shape. Although round is a shape, it's not so much what I am looking for. 2. I need to read the Bible more. It has yet to become a vital foundation to my faith on a consistent basis. 3. I would like to write more. It's something I greatly enjoy, but simply do not make time for it.

So I have decided to take the next 90 days to simultaneously complete the P90X fitness challenge, Read the Bible in 90 Days, and Blog about my entire experience. Viola! This condenses all three goals into a single project.

Day 1

Workout- Chest and Back & Ab Ripper X
Bible Reading- Genesis 1-16

As I lay on the floor in the fetal position after my workout, I wondered several things. Why, dear God, why did I decide to do this? have I told few enough people so no one would notice if i quit? Will this be worth it? Unfortunately, running through my head the loudest of all was the age old question... to vomit or not to vomit?

Now it's time to take a step back and realize that it really wasn't the worst thing ever. I may take this comment back later as my muscles continually cuss at me throughout the day. But for now, lets just say that I will make it and this will all be worth it.

Of course I didn't do all of the exercises that are on the dvd. I made my best attempt but lets face it, I'm a beginner and proud of the fact that I at least attempted. If I keep at it, eventually I will be able to make at least of feeble attempt at keeping up. For now, I'm satisfied with the fact that I actually hit play on the dvd and put forth the effort. It's a starting point at least.

The Bible reading wasn't bad today. Of course, I have read these first 16 chapters several times as I have attempted reading plans that start in Genesis many times before, so I am pretty familiar with at least this part of the Bible. We will see how things are going once I get to Leviticus.
