P90X, Townhalls and others...

Alright. Two since my last post and I guess first off I need to clarify something. When I said I'd be posting bi-weekly blogs I meant every other week. Not twice a week. So this is the first, two weeks from now you'll get another. Actually be 16 days until my next post, just to make it the exact 30 days since I started P90X.

So, is it working?! So far as I can tell yes! It's only been two weeks, but there have been subtle changes already in my energy and muscle tone. Everyday after I finish my workout I cross it off the calender on my wall and feel so accomplished. Next week is the same as the past two as far as what workouts I'll be doing, the week after that is a cool down/rest week. After that it gets kicked up again with a new set of workouts to keep me from plateauing.

I've been mostly good about eating the way I should be. I was a little too relaxed with it this week, but hope to get back on track 100% this week. Keeping off the alcohol has been surprisingly easy though, and being good about getting the work outs in has been easy too!

So to sum up, it's too early to be seeing big results but there are minor ones. My drive to continue the program is as strong as the day I started, and while I have 11 weeks left, I'm certain I can keep my drive going!

Now for issues beyond P90X. Yesterday was obnoxiously busy, but in a very good way. Nate and I ran around doing errands all day, and at one point ended up at the UNM Continuing Ed building for a townhall meeting on Health Care Reform. There were about 4 other people in the group of college students we met up with, but outside of that it was almost entirely people over 50. I'm still completely blown away by the complete lack of political interest by our generation. If we do nothing for us, the politicians do nothing for us. And apparently college students felt that getting the president elected was enough for the decade.

It's not. The Dems aren't doing shit. For anyone. They're sitting around letting the Republicans bully them around. We are the power in every branch of the government at the moment, and if we don't start getting things done, we'll lose it. Where is that aggressive drive we had during the election? It's summer break! If students were able to be as active as they were during the school year, they certainly can be at least as active when school is out.

So what's the issue? That's mostly rhetorical. I tried, along with Dan Cornish, to get my friends on-board on the issue of health care, and the over whelming response was... nothing. Sad.

And final topic. I've decided to make cuts in my life. Not hobbies, foods or anything like that. People. I've come along way from being the complete insecure push-over I once was and no longer feel the need to entertain people that intend on putting me back down there. I'm intelligent, I'm fairly attractive, I'm confident. So I'm cutting people out of my life that treat me unfairly. I've got great friends, one or two of them can't view me as an equal... *poof*

Will update again in two weeks and two days. Off I go to get my workout in!
