I don't know if it was the lack of carbs (I only had 120 grams today), or if it was the lack of sleep (I woke up a dozen times last night with severe cramps in my calves), but tonight was probably the hardest P90X workout I've had. Disc 10 Back and Biceps was a piece of cake last week. Unfortunately, tonight was nothing but a struggle. Sure I was working my back and biceps real hard but nothing compared to what I was doing to that self-discipline muscle.The neighbors could hear that large scary-looking exercise freak cursing and grousing as they walked their dogs past my garage (I heard a few barks follow by a quick shush). I was tired and angry and suffering and wanted to quit after every damn one of the 24 routines. I was making excuses in my head and looking for justifications to quit, but I couldn't. I knew if I didn't complete my workout, I'd be laying in bed hating myself tonight.
As I type out these last few sentences, I am totally exhausted. I am spent. However, I feel pleased and content with myself because I made it another day. There's 52 days left in this program and it is going to get a lot tougher. If I'm going to succeed, I need to do what I did tonight and keep pushing on. P90X strengthens your body but I'm discovering that it also strengthens your spirit.
Bring it!
