All done!I wish it was that easy folks but in case you weren't counting, that's 30 sets of shoulders, biceps and triceps up there. Those exercises were crammed into 50 minutes so this workout required a lot of hustle to boot. On top of that, I bumped up the weight in each set by 5 or 10 pounds from last week's because I wanted to really push myself. By the time I finished the workout and the Ab Ripper X that followed, I was crushed.
After the workout, I took a quick shower and threw on some jeans and one of my last clean tight t-shirts (I really gotta do some laundry). I was in a hurry because I had to meet a client for breakfast and wanted to run a few errands first. I drove across the street to pick up my mail from the UPS store. As I was walking up to the store, the kid who cuts my hair walked past and gave me a thumbs up. "Lookin' good bro!", he said. I walk into the UPS store and bumped into one of the Asian ladies from the salon next door. "Oh wow, you lose lotsa weight. How much you lose?" I told her that actually I had gained about 20 pounds but she didn't believe me. Then the guy who runs the store found out I was doing P90X and peppered me with questions. Of course, I was happy to answer. Throughout my workday, I got half a dozen more compliments.
I guess this P90X is really starting to work. After 70 days, I've started to get a little discouraged at times and worn down physically and mentally from the constant workouts. However, it's mornings like today that make it all worthwhile. People let me know that my efforts are starting to bear fruit. All I did differently today was wear a tight t-shirt. Tomorrow when I'm suffering through the dreaded 90 minute Yoga X workout, I'll remember this morning and try that much harder.
