60 Day Results!

I've reached the 60 day mark in P90x.  Two-thirds of the way through the program!!!!

I'm so excited and proud that I've made it this far.  It's no longer even a possibility that I could quit.  Now it's just about pushing my way through these last 30 days, and getting the best results that I can.

I'm already thinking ahead to what I'll do after I finish this round of P90x. Though I've made a ton of progress, I know I won't be where I want to be 30 days from now.  I'm thinking I'll be giving Insanity--a different Beachbody fitness program--a shot.  It's only a 60 day program instead of 90 days like P90x which appeals to me.  90 days with the same program, even one with as many workouts as P90x has, can become a little tedious.  I need to switch things up.

This past month with P90x has gone great.  I didn't end up adding Doubles in like I had originally thought of doing, but that's okay.  I am hoping to do so this round though--at least once or twice a week.  Starting this week, I've been going to a Water Aerobics class on Base two nights a week which is a great way to add in some exercise.  It's more challenging than you would think, and I can definitely tell I'm working it.

Now for the fun stuff.  My numbers!  Drum roll please.....

Since my last check-in, I have lost 6 pounds, 2.5 inches off my waist, 2 inches off my hips, 1 inch off my chest, two inches off my thighs, and 5% body fat.  That brings me up to a grand total overall loss of 6 pounds, 16 inches, and 9% body fat!

I am super excited about my results.  Even though I try to pretend the scale doesn't even exist, I am glad I was finally able to lose weight during Phase 2.  I only gained about 1/2 a pound back after the Cleanse I did over the weekend so I am even happier that I suffered through those three days!

All the little changes I can see in my body keep me pushing play every morning.  Being able to really feel my hip bones, having a little abdominal definition, and slightly toned legs all make me a little giddy. Every time I take my measurements or let myself step on that scale, it feels like Christmas morning.

I am 1000% sure I made the best decision of my life when I started on this P90x journey.  And I am so ready to BRING IT these next 30 days!

  2. Good for you! I've heard so much about PX90 but you're the first person I've heard get so far into the program. I haven't done it, but I train competitively, so I loved reading this post. As for Insanity, I've done it, but I found it very hard on my ankle and knee joints with all the sudden jerky movements. Maybe you'll love it. And the host is fantastic. But I was too afraid of injuring myself. Anyway, again, way to go! I love hearing success stories!
