Check ..Check.. Check it out

So one of my very good friends is out of the states and i made a promise to blog all the fun that happened too me.I'm not sure this is even possible but I'm going to do my best. Yesterday I got a new phone so I could keep my unlimited plan. I got the Droid Razr MAXX so that I could be cool and act like a total boss. It has a huge display...like size of my palm display. When Jess saw it she asked why i didn't just buy an ipad and then use skype to talk. I imagine I would totally get all the ladies walking around holding an ipad up against my face whilst smooth talking them over skype lol. Keeping this first post short because i'm not sure how much awesome i want to share here.

p90x

I'm on week 9 of p90x and doing really good. I miss workouts here and there but I've been sticking to it pretty well and seeing decent results. I'm definitely in better shape but I would say I'm ripped. I bought some powerblocks last night so that I can up my weight on a lot of my workouts. Also, My birfday is a week away. I'm I'm I'm so excited

week 5 update

I'm on week 5 of p90x and still chugging a long. did back & biceps last night and my arms are mucho sore.

On February 17 I'm going to see RED, TFK, and Manafest at the National.

Not a lot to update on any other front. February still has my least favorite holiday and I'm ready for March(MY BIRTHDAY!)

p90x log

did day 3 yesterday...did not do the super set..used my 15 lb weights for most the workouts. Still trying to figure out the best way to use the bands to get that resistance...I'm not as sore today as i thought i would/should be. That might be good...it might also mean I'm not pushing hard enough. Today I get to do an hour and a half of yogaX...this should be interesting. lol

p90x log

I'll be updating this occasionally with a log of how I am doing. Not sure if i should do multiple posts.

Today will be day 3 of week 1...tbh I've never attempted this exercise in all my attempts at p90x...I'm always so sore and quit...today..I'm still sore but i will do the exercise.

right now: 5 foot 11 inches @ 190lbs. Lots of stomach fat + no upper body strength.

motivation

How does one motivate themselves? This is a question that has been haunting me for a year now. I always get it in my mind that i would like to accomplish a goal(lose weight, learn guitar, etc) and then I don't succeed because i do not put the time or effort in to accomplish the goals I've set. How do you motivate yourself?

Update

Well i've gone to the gym for two consecutive days straight...i'm sure this must be setting some sort of record for me since i left college. I find it hard to motivate myself to go but i know in the end i have to go to be healthy. I've been trying to cook my own meals and eat out less but with my work schedule that is not always possible. I would really really like to be around 175lbs again. Hopefully i can keep up the effort.
