P90Xperiment: Day 50!!! and 10 Things I've Learned So Far

We reached day 50! I feel like I'm in the home stretch now and am excited about all the progress made and the things I've picked up and learned along the way...
I decided to throw together a quick list of some of the knowledge I've gleaned from my experience so far... this list may be helpful for those looking to start with a program like this... I hope it helps.

Here are some things I've learned with doing P90X:

1. My carpets are filthy! It is mind boggling to me that I still have Christmas tree needles on my floor still... I've vacuumed (A LOT!!!!) and they're still there! Don't think bad of me! Once your on the ground rolling around exercising you'll realize you're not the pinnacle of cleanliness either! (unless you are... then congratulations!)

2. When doing yoga you realize how ugly your toes and feet are. You're in runners pose a lot... it's only natural. If I was more worried about it I may get a pedicure... But I'm fine with my Fred Flinstone feet. 

3. Its good to have a stockpile of shirts you don't mind getting sweaty in... Thank God for EggLakeland!

4. Me and Tony don't always have to get along... 

5. Yelling at your TV is ok. (see #4)

6. Its amazing how many people are all working towards the same goal and are willing to share information and help! I never knew how healthy and awesome my friends are... I never noticed until I started up too... its like when you want to buy a new car and you see that car everywhere. All the same, I'm proud of everyone who is working hard! keep it up! and thanks for all your help. Also thanks to all the people who have helped and given me pointers... and if you ever think I'll have information that can help you, please let me know! I'd love to help!

7. Taking a picture of yourself every day can be tedious... but I think I'll enjoy looking through all of them someday.

8. Working out can be like swimming (yes, I know swimming is working out)... Don't eat directly before working out... dry heaving is never fun, even when you're doing cardio... I know! Right?!? Who wouldda thunk!

9. A clean towel and a good shower after a workout can be the best part of your day... unless you've just worked out your arms and chest and its nearly impossible to wash your hair without crying... 

10. Real change takes time. I'm learning it's not an overnight process... but I feel like I'm in this for the long hawl now.
