Day 29: Core Synergistics

And once again, I'm at Core Synergistics.  I've said it before, and I'll say it again:  I cannot get enough of this workout!  I haven't actually said it before in those words.  I mixed it up a bit.  The idea's still the same, though.  It's just so fantastically hard and intricate, and there's always something there to improve upon.  Every time I start, all my core muscles do a little jump for joy.  Actually, they jump for joy after the workout.  Before and during, they brace themselves with happy anticipation.  Bonus:  no toilet hugging today. 

I can't believe how far my body's come since starting P90X.  It's truly amazing to me as I push and stretch myself to places I never thought I could go.  I mentioned a couple days ago that it was 6 months to my 33rd birthday.  At Christmas last year, I had pretty much written myself off, telling myself that I squandered my 20's away and now that I was in my 30's, I was who I was meant to be for the rest of my life:  fat, weak, undisciplined.  I looked at my wrinkles, my emerging grey hairs, my doughy physique and just resigned myself to the idea that there was nothing I could do.  Oh, maybe highlights and a lot of make-up, but physically, I was too old to start something too huge.  And now, 6 months later, I'm almost 1/3 of the way done with P90X and have a half marathon calling my name.  My thirties have ceased to be my declining decade and have become my defining decade (Jake, you were right!  Tony's cheesiness does wear off onto his minions!!!).  Core Synergistics is a huge stepping stone in this process.  I think I hold this workout so dear not only because of how much it works me but because it was my very first P90X workout.  The one that started it all. 

Sidenote:  HUGE shout out to Josh, who got back on the horse yesterday and amazed himself.  And to his wife Lizzie, who hit a big milestone!  You guys are my anchors, and I'm so proud to be in this with you both!
