Well on Friday, August 12, it was the final day of Insanity Max workouts...5 weeks of crazy insane kick your butt, make you want to throw up and do it all over again workout...our gang did not meet that day so instead I did P90x plyo on my own..that's 58 mintues of pretty solid workout moves, but not just the high intensity interval training of max....however, there were a few things that i could not do not or struggled to do in P90x that i could now do better..so max really helped me out....looking forward to doing this program later on this year with Ellie and Danny again...we still recuriting people..Mon to Friday 5am 24 hour fitness Kaneohe..all is welcome to join....
So today, Monday, August 15 we started back at P90x and today was chest/back...wow laulau...haven't used some of the back and chest muscles the last 2 months and my body was shocked...felt good though...per Ellie, we probably going do this for 1-2 months, then go back ot Insantiy again..oh boy...bring it on...
a few things came to mind to me on Friday and today regarding where i was at and where i am now and where i am going on this journey of transforming my body to honor God...
1) my diet - stil needs to be worked on...eating is a vice for me and a bondage...i'm a emotional eater and instead of taking my worries or stress to God, i take it to chicken katsu, fried chicken..poke..etc...so changing my focus on better eating is one major thing i will be focusing on in this new season...
2) i've been working out with Danny and Ellie since March i think...and one thing comes to mind..accountablity...and doing this program for each other and for our families..we hold each other accountable to the workouts and there is no condemnation if missed, just total encouragement...its a team/unity thing....these 2 guys have been a blessing to me.
3) what i could not do before, i can do now (most of it)...when i look back and see how far i have come, from not being able to do more than 5-10 pushups...to disliking up/downs, to wanting to die in the frist week of instantiy...to now where i look forward to the daily challenge...wow...my core is stronger...i don't feel all the aches and pains of my back, or my legs, or just in general...yeah, the muscles are sore, but its a good sore
4) where i am going - turning 43 at the end of this month and seeing how unhealthy i was 3 years ago, before Brandi went off to college, it reminds me that this journey is not done...i have a long way to go..not just weight wise...60 lbs, but in feeling better so i can operate and live better in this life, in the time i have left...God's purpose in my life is to glorify Him in all that I do...not just my ministry, or my work, or my family, but also in my health...and if i cheat at one thing, i will cheat at all things...so my health is one major facet in my life filled with strongholds and bondages, and I am asking God to help me to release all of the past and live in freedom with Him....
Thank you Lord for all that You continue to do in my life...have Your way in me and in this body...Amen.
Aloha all, post in a week!!!
