P90X Adventures: We fall... We pick ourselves back up... Week 1 Day 1 Chest & Back

Well... let me tell you about what happened to that "Victory lap"...

...it didn't happen...

Tuesday I got done with Core Synergistics and I was feeling pretty good, but also kinda not so good.  As it turned out, a cold was coming on.  Wednesday came and I was done.  I was stuck doing recording all day and had to come back and frantically work on editing a radio show the rest of the afternoon.  Add to it, I my body was wrecked from this cold.  I was pissed.  Thursday came and went, then friday and the weekend.  Before I really knew it, It was late Sunday and I hadn't really done anything else from my recovery week.  I felt pretty sad about it, but then again I was fairly sick and it was a better idea to let it rest and not go crazy on P90X.

The one thing that really helped out was juicing.  I made versions of my immunity juice each morning and I could feel the cold lifting a little more each day as it progressed.  By the time friday rolled around, I was nearly cleared up.

I tried not to feel so down about not finishing strong since I'm really not finishing yet.  I've got no plans on letting this be the only time through the program.  I definitely want to get to the point where I'm performing as good or better than the guys on screen that's for sure.

So I started again.  It felt so great going into standard pushups and just blasting out 25 like it was nothing.  They're all perfect form.  It's just insane how much difference 90 days can make.  I'm so grateful for starting this program and I'm glad that I've been able to stick with it like I have.  Minor setbacks like these aren't even really setbacks for me anymore because I know where I want to be with this thing.  This time around, I'm vowing to not miss a single Ab Ripper X routine either.  I'm still struggling through it.  My little 17 minutes of hell, but man if Tony didn't hit the nail on the head with his words... "I Hate it... but I Love it."
