Beginning Phase 2 - 30 Days Comparison

This morning I completed "Chest, Shoulders & Triceps" and began Phase 2 of this go-around of P90X. During the first four weeks, I was pretty consistent, except for not doing Ab Ripper X more than once a week. Lack of time in the morning when I work out is the best excuse I have, but it's real!

I've also consistently been using my creatine. I think I'm seeing some results in just 30 days visually. I definitely feel like I'm a little bulkier, but still not too much. My goal is to get a little bigger, but also creating more definition. This is where my diet is betting better, but still not as good as it needs to be. I need to make lifetime changes for the better.

What I really, really like is my energy and increase in strength! Without a doubt, I have to thank some of that to the creatine, but I also know that I had a decent base before beginning this series of P90X. My flexibility is also near or at an all time high. That is in thanks to my consistency with Yoga-X and Stretch-X. It is a very good feeling to see the progress when I am 40 stinkin' years old!

I also consider what my fitness means to my faith while I'm on this journey. I certainly know the physical me is nothing without my faith and belief in Jesus as my Savior. One important benefit is being able to keep up with my two sons, in addition to the work I do at my church with middle school boys. Having the engergy at the end of the day on Wednesdays is necessary, if I am to relate to and keep up with them!
