And So I Begin Again...

So I completely dropped the ball on reporting my progress preparing for my second Utah Valley Half Marathon. I will say it went very well. I beat my time last year by almost exactly fifteen minutes! It was a very fun and rewarding race! I'm 11 days away from running my fifth half marathon, the Timpanogos Half Marathon. However, I'm not writing to tell you about that... I'm returning to this blog once again to begin another round of P90X. Despite all the running I have been doing, I simply haven't been losing weight. I hope that by doing this program again, as well as cracking down and watching what I eat more closely, I can finally slim down again.

I decided to do P90X Lean again instead of the classic program, because I feel that it will help me burn more fat, and tone muscle, as opposed to adding a lot of muscle size. I began today with Core Synergistics, which is the first workout of the program. Wow. I forgot just how hard these workouts are! Here I am thinking I'm all in shape because I run half marathons! Ha! I've been slacking on strength training, and I'm feeling it now! Prison Cell Push Ups, Steam Roller, what am I getting myself into??

Oh, and did I mention that I run another half marathon in less than two weeks? I'm an idiot.

Here are my beginning measurements! They're not pretty, but I gotta start somewhere!

Weight: 164 Lbs
Waist: 33.5"
Hips: 42.5"
Right & Left Thighs: 25" each
Right & Left Biceps: 13.5" each
