P90X: Day49 wrap up of week7

X stretch.

After a week of missed exercises I'm starting to be patient with myself. Week 7 on the scorecard was a failure for me since all I've accomplished doing were Legs & Back and X Stretch. From the looks of it I was doomed to fail.

Then I realized that I was too preoccupied with getting the results right away. I wanted to lose 5 lbs by the end of this month. As the month comes near to a close I was desperate and in that desperation came frustration which resulted to neglect. I wanted quick results. I wanted to see an abrupt change in my body. In an effort to do so I failed to notice the minor yet important details and changes I have accomplished. As of Day48 I am more limber, I have more endurance, I am stronger and I can do more push ups compared to 48 days ago.

Standing at 5'7 and weighing 150 lbs it's obviously hard for me to lose weight as I don't have that much body fat content. Nope, I didn't get my BMI. I just looked at myself in the mirror and judged from there.

What I learned at this time is the importance of patience. Patience does not mean I slack off or take things slow. Patience means to keep doing what I have to do on a consistent basis until the results show. It's not a matter of if but more of a matter of when. The body that I coveted will manifest. The question is how long will I endure to see it manifested?
