FIRST POST!

Week 2 of p90x round 2.

So, since this is my first post of this blog I should give a little background info first.

I did my first successful round of p90x beginning August of 2010 and finished Thanksgiving Day.  Unfortunately that day I also fall down a flight of stairs and cracked a rib!  For anyone who has never cracked, bruised, or broken a rib~ the pain is indescribable.  Imagine having a knife wedged between two ribs and every time you laugh, sneeze, breathe too deeply, move your arms/torso, etc, the knife wiggles around...   So--  after a lengthy 6 week recovery I finally decided I needed to get back in shape.  The whole time I was recovering I did nothing, and I mean nothing that remotely resembled exercise.  In addition to this I ditched the diet as well so you can imagine how quickly I became out of shape.

January 10, 2010 I decided to start on round 2 and get rid of the pudge that crept back onto my body.
Beginning round 2 I am 27 years old, 5'4, and 133 pounds.  My enemy is carbs and always has been. I <3 bread, and cake, and coke, and chips...   The diet plan is probably the most difficult thing for me to abide by but I am already one week in with no off days and absolutely no soda!

My first week back was VERY difficult, I struggled through each dvd and thought I was going to pass out a time or two but I made it.  Unfortunately luck is not on my side and I came down with the flu the day of Legs and Back.  I slept and recovered all weekend and skipped my monday morning workout but I intend to push play as soon as I get home. 
I am going to do doubles and I plan on starting the cardio workouts as soon as I am done coughing like crazy.  My fiance won't commit to p90xing with me but he supports me all the way, after seeing my results after round 1 he agrees that I can get crazy good results this time as well.

We are getting married May 28, 2010 in Hawaii and I am looking to get the lean 6 pack every beach goer desires.  I won't have enough time to complete 2 whole cycles between now and then but I will do as much as I possibly can!  We'll see how this blog goes, I have never done one before but hopefully it will give me the extra motivation I need to stick with it and reach my goals!
