Day 2-4 of P90X/TurboFire LET'S GO!!!

Good Saturday MORNING!!!

Okay, ok! I apologize for not writing for the last 2 days! Today is Day 4 for me and the workout is P90X's YOGA X. I love this workout!

Yoga is essential to any workout! Yoga has a deeper meaning then just stretching in weird ways. It hold a spiritual significance to those who practice it. The deep breathing, the deep stretching releases tension while training the mind to focus. The thoughts that are chaotic in the mind are silenced and allows the one practicing the art to finally be one with the deepest parts of him. All that is internal work, that is necessary to any goal, in fitness or life.

But on the OUTSIDE LOL, yoga teaches you to use your own weight and strength to sculpt the body into what it is meant to look like naturally. I have had amazing results with all different "types" of yoga. But don't get caught up with all the "different name" people place on this method of exercise. Yoga is stretching... keep it simple. Try it once in your life. If you have a moment with God... enjoy it and have fun! It might happen.

Regaining Life Through Food and Movement

Back in 2004, I graduated high school and went straight to Boston, MA to attend Berklee College of Music. I was 18 years old and 125lbs. Three years later, in 2007, I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Music Business/Management and an extra 70lbs.! At age 21, I had peaked to 195lbs and stabilized at 185lbs. I was in bad shape, emotionally distraught, broken within and without. By the time I left Boston, MA in 2008, I had dropped a few pounds because at some point I realized I had to do something. But it was extremely difficult on my mind.  I had struggled to pay the rent, utilities and anything else that was mandatory to pay. I remember how angry I was to have mismanaged my money, my time, my energy and in the end, it didn't benefit me... so I thought. When you're broke, hungry and unhealthy, your whole entire world just crashes. That was a time of great depression, anxiety, anger, "insert negative emotion here," you name it. I remember having to go to the store and buy a container of oatmeal, you know the big ones, that only cost me $2.45, so that I could eat for a month. EVERYTHING was rationed out. I hated myself, I hated my situation, and only I was to blame. I allowed my life and my emotions to control me so much to my breaking point that I almost committed suicide. It was a BAD TIME! Did I want to purposely kick the bucket? Absolutely not! But the physical, emotional and mental pain that I was experiencing, was just too much.
