Workout- Plyometrics
Bible Reading- Genesis 17-28:1-19
What is Plyometrics you ask? I can't say that I know either. I remember reading in the manual what it actually is, but I have since forgotten. What I do remember is that they nick name it, "Jump Training". This means that there is a lot of squatting and jumping involved. I kind of wanted to cut off my legs when I was done. Unfortunately, the lack of legs would not be a valid excuse for not working out. In the video, one of the demonstrators working out with the instructor has a prostethic leg!!! Seriously, I was getting my butt kicked at jumping by a one legged man!
When it was all said and done, I was glad I did it. I feel accomplished, even it is only day two. I have to start somewhere.
After my work out, I laid on the couch to do my reading for the day. I think we all know this, but the Old Testament can be really, really weird some times. I know that 90% of it would make more sense to me, if I studied the cultural context of the times, but just reading it at face value can make it all sound down right crazy! All of the interpersonal relationships really threw me for a loop today. People with their multiple wives and determination to have children to pass on the familiy line was so contrary to today. No wonder people don't read the Old Testament more! It's almost a foreign language!
Oh well. Until tomorrow...

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.
