Change Up

I know I haven't written in the past few days. Ok, almost a week. I actually started school this past Monday, so I have been trying to get into the grove of that and also I am changing up my workout routine. I know I shouldn't shift gears in the middle of what I have been doing, but I forgot that I promised my friend that I would do P90X with him at the start of the new year. So he calls me up on Friday and asked if I was still going to do it with him and I said yes, I had completely spaced it off that I had told him I would do it with him. So Monday rolls around and what did I do? I spaced it again, so he texts me and asks if I had started the routine yet and said, "I just got done with the first disc "Chest and Back" and my arms are like Jello." SoI tell him that I am going to start it Tuesday and I will tell him how I do. So last night @ 9:30 I pop in the DVD and I jump into it. I just about died. I was so tired and sore when I was done after the 53 minutes that I could barely wash my hair when I was in the shower. So today I did the second disc called "Plyometrics" I have no idea what plyometrics is, but halfway through the workout I had to stop because my leg muscles and knees were just about to give out on me if I did one more jump. So after 25 minutes I finished and went back to my desk and finished out my day. Oh my chest and back? Yeah, they are sore! We'll see how the next 87 days goes.

I have some really awesome new regarding my measurements. When I first started this journey my Bro-in-law took all my measurements on my arms, thighs, calves, waist, chest, neck, and hips and the verdict is in:
Start Month 1
Arms 14" 15"
Calf's 18" 18"
Thigh's 36" 24"
Hips 50.5" 48.5"
Waist 57.5" 54"
Chest 54" 50"
Neck 17" 16"
Weight 288 278

Yeah I was excited. It may not be much, but it is something and it proves to me that my efforts are paying off. When he told me my measurements my thought was, just like it always has been when I lose some weight, "YEAH I can reward myself, I don't have to eat as strict as I was because it is working!!" Wrong. I need to make sure that I stick with it and that I keep giving it my all because I am not going to hit 180 ever if I don't. It's just like I put in my last post, I have to cut out the junk if I want to reach the potential that I have in my mind. So I have to tighten up the eating and be 100% STRICT. Ok so I probably won't be 100%, I don't think anyone ever is 100%, but I need to at least be in the 95% area. I can do that for sure. Well, it's back to homework for me. Until next time!
