p90x and the constant search for a better body

So, today was day 4 of my journey to FINISH p90x. I wasted time all day and mainly did nothing, then finally talked myself into starting the Yoga X DVD. Well, the the disc messed up and I just gave up...I'm feeling really guilty....
I've been doing really well with my pescetarinism (although I haven't eaten any fish since the cruise) and I'm trying not to be too hard on myself about this whole working out thing. Don't get me wrong but I just want to really do it this time. I would really like to get into better shape.
To be perfectly honest, I'm not unhappy or disgusted in any way with my body but I would like to be in better shape, I could definitely be firmer. However, above all that I would like to be in good shape purely for the health of it. All that being said, I find it hard to have self discipline and not feel like I'm being to hard on myself.
So, where is the balance between self-discipline and craziness. I don't want to do something that is physically or mentally unhealthy. Everyone is insecure and everyone has at least small image issues and I am very cautious of NOT developing unhealthy habits.
I think I just have to keep trying and keep working at it and I'll finally see more improvements. I want more than anything to stick with my vegetarianism/pescetarianism however you want to classify me and to stick with my working out. Like Tony says "Do your best and forget the rest" Tomorrow is a new day and a new workout so I'll just keep working at it and do everything one day at a time, like the alcoholics say.
On a final note, I am so terribly excited that Chris and Brenda just happened to start p90x the same day as David and I. It really adds an extra level of support and encouragement that, while accidental, is very needed and helpful. :-) So, thanks guys! When I feel more comfortable I'll think about posting my before picture. (Maybe on day 30 when I'm already a little ripped...hahahaha)
On the slate for tomorrow: Short Run, Legs & Back, and Ab Ripper X! The fun never stops with p90x!!!!

  1. You can do it! Just hang in there. I know there are going to be days when I don't want to get up at 7am to workout but you just work through it. If your dvd messes up again if might me the player not the dvd. We've had to take several dvd players back before we got one that would work right.
