P90X... Day 1

So, I have commited myself in doing P90X full out! Well, probably not the 6-7 days, but gonna put in 4-5 days a week, plus what I am doing for my training. Like I said before, I have kind of gone downhill these last few months and want to kick my you know what into gear again! I am dedicated to loosing the extra skin off my lovely tummy by June!! Tonight, I did the arm and shoulder workout, plus the ab ripper X which is getting a lot easier surprisingly! Must be getting stronger :) Anyways, wish me luck! I really am gonna need it this time!!! Can already tell I'm gonna be sore!

Run 1 Mile, Swim 1000 yds

Today I went to the gym thinking I was just going to swim, but got the urge to run for a bit. I ended up running 1 mile, which was the best time I've done in a while in just under 9 minutes. It felt awesome! I then swam 100 yds doing 200 warmup (my arms could totally feel it from lifting yesterday!), 200 kick, 200 IM, 200 free with my fins, 150 slow/sprint, and then 50 cool down. It's been a while since I swam, but man it felt so good afterwards!! I just love the water!! I'm starting to feel like I did when I get in the mode of doing my workouts!! I hope it continues :)

Getting Pumped!

A couple days ago, I officially signed up for my First Triathlon that I'll be doing this year which was the first one I did last year in Salem. I loved it so much that I knew for sure I wanted to do it again, hoping to better my running time! I also registered for the Tough Mudder at the end of June in Colorado. I am way excited for the intense obstacles that I'll be doing and gettin' dirty!!! Signing up has definitely made it more easier for me to get my butt in gear and doing my training for them. For some reason, after the holidays, I got in this state of having no motivation to get to the gym and making all these excuses not to go. I mean, I went to a few classes here and there, but nothing like I used to. It was very frustrating for me!! I even gained a few pounds which I am not proud of whatsoever!! Anyways, I feel now that things are getting back to the way they used to. I have more energy and motivation to get to the gym! I hope it will continue for me to blog about my workouts and keep me going! Wish me luck!!

Oh ya, and yesterday, I did an hour cycling class, lifted for about 20 minutes, and then did the ab ripper x on p90x. Today I'm a little stiff, but feel the best I have in a long time :)

TRX

Thursday I tried a class at the rec center called TRX. It's where you have these strap thingys that hang from the ceiling and you do a variety of reps focusing on your arms, obliques, legs, ect. There isn't a whole lot of cardio, but man!! It kills ya!! I have been so sore since, a good sore that is!! I am hooked and am planning on going each week :) Yesterday I did some P90X. Half yoga and the other part cardio X. Starting Monday, I am starting my intense training for my Tris coming up. I'll be honest, for some reason, my self motivation hasn't been the greatest lately to workout. I pray that I can get back into the swing of things on how I was before!! Wish me luck!!!
