Day 29

Workout- Chest, Biceps, and Triceps
Bible Reading- 1 Chronicles 1-9

The makers of P90X have appropriately divided up their program into 3 phases. Each lasting approximately 30 days. Give or take a few days. I am now officially 1/3 of the way through the program and have 2 phases left. I took my 30 day follow up pictures last night. I am not completely thrilled with the progress. I don't think you can tell much of a difference. I have only lost 3 or 4 pounds so there really isn't anything major going on. I think I have lost an inch or two around my stomach but that is pretty much it. I'm hoping for some change to really start happening in this next section. Along with phase 2 comes a new workout that I haven't done yet. It's the "Chest, Biceps, and Triceps" workout. Otherwise known as "30 Different Varieties of Push-ups From Hell". It was awful. I'm horrible at push-ups anyway. I always end up doing girl push-ups anyway. One segment I completely missed, because I was so completely baffled at what he was doing. He was doing a push-up and then on the way up he pushed off the ground so that both feet and hands went a foot of ground and he clapped his hands in between. He did 20 of them by the way! I just stood there with my mouth open thinking "You have got to be out of your mind if you think I am going to get anywhere close to doing that!". Once he was done, I collected myself and moved on to the next exercise. Maybe next time I will at least do some regular push-ups while he is going insane with his. Oh well. Better luck next time.
