Thinking... deciding... doing it... bringing it!

Thinking...

For several months I've been complaining of how out or shape I've been. I was at the University and that allowed me to go to the gym and to walk around campus here and there keeping me more or less active. After I gradued and got married all that physical activity just stopped and I found myself gaining and gaining weight week after week, feeling heavier, not fitting in my clothes and not happy about my health. I heard from some MALE friends some comments last August 2007 about P90x, as being the "besth home fitness workout there is out there"... but also how HARD it is, even for MEN. I also heard that the results were amazing, but it was hard work.
To make a lot story short, thinking, researching and finding out all the information about P90x took me 5 months, trying to convince myself that women could also do it and that I could do it!

Deciding...

First I learned that WOMEN can do it, after watching some videos of regular women like me, not really sports girls, were doing it and getting results.
I think my final decision of getting started was after I watched the videos from Angelee (angeleedesign). She makes great reviews of P90x and other work outs that were candidates for me to select from, and she has done it, and survided it!
Then, finally I decided start together with Shaun (ShaunZila) on February 18th, 2009, so we could motivate each other and keep track of our progress. It is working very well.

Doing it...

Before Feb 18th I tried some of the videos for a little bit (did Cardio 90%, Yoga 40%, Ab ripper X 50% and Legs and Back 50%). I can't say enough IN HOW MUCH PAIN I was all last week. I was walking funny, moving funny and it was BAAD. From that I learned that P90X was HAAAARRD and that I was in VERY BAD SHAPE... but I decided to move on and get started on Feb 18 with ShaunZila, and not give up without even starting.... (believe me, I thought about it because I DON'T LIKE PAIN).

Bringing it!

Well, Feb 18th was the date! It all started with my Core synergistics work out... Surprisingly I could do 90% of it this time.
Tuesday: Cardio X... my favorite so far, 99% THUMBS UP!
Wednesday: Shoulders and Arms/ Abripper 100% (as compared to 30% last week)
Thursday: Yoga X... let me tell you... the first 40 min are a killer, and when you think you are going to die right there, you start the second part that is more about balance, so it is not so bad. Still working on improving yoga, today 90%)
But now I am definetly bringing it!, I am happy, I feel great, waking up in the morning is not so hard, and I can anticipate this is going to be a great experience.

So WOMEN.... P90X is also for us...
