The begining of P90x

I am tired. I just finished my first p90x workout, and it kicked my ass(But Bryan, on Thursday night you were preaching about starting it on Friday morning. Yes but Bryan has a job and other responsibilities, so he had to start it today) If a couple years from now it comes out that the inventor of p90x is actually Satan I would not be surprised. I have not gotten this worked over in a workout in years. That first DVD really socked it to me(just decided that I am bringing sock it to me back). For those who have not tried it, it goes a little something like,stretch,push ups,pull ups,push ups,pull ups,water,push ups,pull ups,a couple of weight exercise, and then in phase two, they flip the whole thing on its ear and have you do pull ups and then push ups, and so on and so forth. It is truly awful, and as much as I was miserable while doing it, and as much as I wanted to break down, cry and drown my sorrows in a kfc double down, I kept going and made it through the first disc. I know some of you at home are thinking "Wow, you made it through a 55 minute workout dvd made by some John Basedow wannabe." But it is much harder then you would assume, and for the shape I am in right now I am shocked that this isn't being written from a room at the Cleveland Clinic, while I am being "closely monitored" until morning. After the first disc, I had to do the abs disc. This was, I think, more awful then the most awful thing I've ever done. It was 20 minutes of ridiculous ab workouts. Yes, that is really all I can say about the ab workout, it was bad news bears.
The workouts did really make me realize how truly out of shape I am and what an uphill battle I have on my hands. I am ok with that though, I know it's going to be a fight and I am ready to take it head on. Monday starts the "two-a-days" where I'll be p90x'in it up and either running,swimming,or biking. I think once I start doing all of those things I will really be headed in the right direction. It may seem like a big workload(or overload) but I am gonna give it a whirl and see what happens, if I realize it's too much out of the gate then I'll dial back the p90x and focus on the three disciplines that I need to complete the tri.
They always say the hardest part about doing something is starting it(I think people say that, its true). Today I think I finally took a step in the right direction. I just need to keep it going come Monday when the real fun starts.
