You Got Goals to Get, so Get Going!

The 2 main goals that I'm currently working on are the following:

• Completing P90x.
• Forming a habit to read more.

I just started the P90x program yesterday. For those who don't know, it's basically a 90-day fitness program to get your body in the best shape it has ever been. Don't let my description fool you. It's a PAIN. It's not easy. I'm loving it. :)

Yesterday consisted of an hour of rotating among different types of pull-ups, push-ups, and chin-ups. That's right. One whole hour of it. I was really struggling after the halfway mark, but I pushed my way through the entire hour. The abs workout (Ab Ripper X) was right after, but I couldn't even hold myself up for some of the exercises. I decided to complete it after I got home from work.

Ab Ripper X really tries to murder you. It's only 20 minutes, but it's nonstop and it BURNS. In fact, I think I worked out more of my very upper legs than my abs. Don't exactly know why that is. Maybe I cheated? I'll try to figure it out when I'm doing it again tomorrow.

I continued today with the Plyometrics workout, but unfortunately, there is a lot of jumping around. It's not a good idea to do at 5:00am on the 3rd floor in a condo. So I will be completing this after work today.

My reading habit is definitely kickin! The biggest influence I came upon was a free e-book reader on my T-mobile G1. It's an application called Aldiko. It's linked with hundreds of free downloadable books on http://feedbooks.com. I decided to give it a short trial and downloaded a book. I completed the entire book in the same day (being about 120+ pages). It was a very relaxing and comfortable read. I decided to try it again, and again... and at the moment, I am definitely in the habit. Within the last week, I've completed 4 books and a short story:

• "How to Disappear Completely"
• "Black Silk"
• "His Robot Girlfriend"
• "The Man Who Could Not Forget"
• "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"

With this done, I was at Target and purchased "I Am America and So Can You" by Stephen Colbert. I've always wanted to read that book, but never dedicated the time. Now that I own it, maybe I'll be able to swing through it. :)

I'm not quite saying that this goal is complete. These books I've read were small in size. I'll give it a shot on some bigger books and I'll get back to ya. Who knows? Maybe I'll even give the Harry Potter series a try... *GASP*
