P90X: Day 21 - Week 3 Complete (workouts postponed)

Date: 02/11/2011
Day 21 - Week 3 Complete

I completed week 3 of P90X successfully. I couldn’t be happier with my results so far. After going through the workouts for the third time, I continue to not only increase my reps in just about every exercise, but I’m also improving my form and increasing the weights on exercises with weight resistance. On top of that, I’m not getting nearly as exhausted after each workout. Sure, I am spent and sweating a ton after just about every workout, especially those with Ab Ripper X on the end, but I have not had the feeling like I was going to puke since the first one or two days of the program.

I have had a number of free meals at work this week, so the nutrition plan was a little harder to follow. However, I made up for it during breakfast, dinner, and in my snacks. I’m trying my best to follow the nutrition plan, so that’s all I can ask of myself. I must say, though, that it’s been fun trying to cook new things, especially fried eggs (yes, I know… I had never cooked eggs before!) and other things.

With all that said, I am sad to report that I will have to postpone my P90X workouts for probably a month or two because of heavily-increasing time constraints. The basketball season has been tough to get through, especially on the week days; and with the district tournaments coming up of which my dad and I attend and do stats for every game, most of those games are week days (two games per night), so it’s was going to be tough to get all those workouts in after those late nights four nights a week or more. On top of that, my work schedule has increased dramatically, averaging over an hour and a half later arrival at home than I am used to which has definitely cut into my time for workouts and other things at home. On top of both those, my weekends are always busy with my girlfriend. She has been very supportive of me and my working out, so it is not her fault. It’s just hard to try to coordinate our already busy schedules so we can see each other (mainly on the weekends) and still get my workouts in, some of which are impossible at her apartment because of the lack of room, pull-up bar, and other hindrances.

I feel bad having to postpone the program for now, but do not worry – I will be starting back up again at some point!
