Okay, Okay! I'm back!

What day is it? I have no idea. This is week four so this should be somewhere between 21 and 28.

Okay, in my last post I was sick and had big plans to double up workouts. I picked back up on Saturday and did Legs & Back and Cardio X (but I skipped the yoga warm up). Sunday I did Plyometrics and Ab Ripper. So I made up for the missed days partially.

After checking the schedule I realized this week is supposed to be a recovery week. I did the stretching video only on Monday and I have to admit it was a very nice break. My legs were shot after my double weekend and the stretching took out alot of stiffness. But I still don't feel like I should "recover" this week. I feel like I lost the opportunity for progress last week and tomorrow I leave for a four-day vacation where I will inevitably eat poorly. I told Big Mo that I'm going to take P90X with me and try to do it at least two of the days. He thought I was crazy.

So here's my goal: I'll do a video tomorrow morning before we leave. I'll try to stay away from all the extra snacks and goodies that come along with road trips. I'll take with me the Plyometrics video because it doesn't require any weights and I might even talk my brother into doing it with me. So that's my plan.

Here's the other thing I'm thinking. Since I've missed so many days, I don't feel I'm at the true 30 day period. So I might repeat a week. I will feel better about it if I did.

I've been really nervous about my motivation level lately. I think, 'Oh no. It's happening again! I'm SLIPPING! Before I know it I'll completely give up. I've missed days and I'm going to miss more. I recognize the pattern! Eeeek!' But my aunt Rojo, the one that got me into running and has trained for many events herself, said, "Chubby, it's almost impossible to complete a 90 day anything without interruptions. You know, you get sick, go out of town, or whatever. You just gotta keep going." So I'm still with it. I've even enlisted a friend to do a weekend workout with me. That will help keep me going. I even watched the P90X infomercial last weekend and admittedly got pretty pumped all over again.

And if I really start to doubt my motivation, I just look in the mirror at where my muffin top used to be and think, okay, gotta keep going! Keep Bringing it!!!!
