Sometimes a State of Exhaustion Can be a Positive Experience

Integrative Massage is teaching me a lot about myself and my place in the world. We have learned so much in 8 weeks already and this has allowed me to open myself more to challenges and opportunities as they come.

My Pilates instructor spoke about a new workout routine she wanted to try one day and after thinking about it, I decided to become her workout partner through this journey. The workout I am speaking of is P90X. I have watched numerous infomercials on this product and knew a couple of people who actually did the program and enjoyed the results. This is a huge challenge to my mind, body and even spirit.

Here is the website in case you are interested in looking at the program:

Week 1 is almost over and I can feel a shift in myself already. My Integrative teacher, Melanie Russell, as well as fellow classmates seem to be enjoying this new person they see. Honestly, I feel like a dumb jock most of the time! I feel blank, lost, exhausted and just focused on these daily workouts but I am looking forward to seeing the changes that each week and each phase brings. My only goal is to COMPLETE the 90 days and then take it from there! I seem to have trouble finishing projects and goals so this is something I am doing for myself and for my confidence.
