into the 40's

Hey there everyone!

It's been almost a week since my last post, but no worries, I'm still going strong with P90X.

I'm on day 43 and excited to do the final round of the chest, shoulder, and tricep workout of this phase. Ooooo, it's gonna be good. I'm still struggling with the back exercises in the back and bicep workout, using a chair for many of them, but I'm definately getting strong with the pullups in the legs and back workout (the pullups in the legs and back workout are less complex).

I've actually gained a pound or two since my day 30 pics, but my appearance continues to improve. I think that due to the breadth of my shoulders and thick legs, my weight probably won't drop too much lower than about 185. I think that though I'm still losing fat from my body, the muscle being built is replacing it. I mean, I didn't have THAT much weight to lose from day 1 (I'm surprised I've even lost 10 lbs!). So long as my athleticism, strength, and apperance continues to improve, I'll be a very happy camper.

Life is going to be very busy for me soon though. I've been looking for a second job part time, and if I get one out of the two interviews I've had, I might have to do one of the following: 1) cut one of the workout days from my routine (I'd probably switch between kenpo x and yoga each week, cutting one or the other out) or 2) do two of the workouts in one day (I would probably add kenpo x in the morning of my Monday workout).

I don't really want to do that, but I know I'll be too tired/busy to workout Friday if I work a Thursday night shift from 7 p.m. till 2 a.m., get up for work at 7:30 a.m., then go right to a Friday night shift at 7 p.m. again. YIKES!!! I need the extra money though (for things like nice furniture and a new car) and I'm willing to work hard for it. Life will be busy, but I'll only have to do this for about 6-12 months. I can handle it.

I'm excited for the next batch of photos, even though it is 2 and a half weeks away.
