Beginning week 8

The last 7 weeks of p90x has been a real adventure! I am starting the recovery week this week. Well, I was supposed to start yesterday, but apparently it was my day off!

Week 7

Starting week 7 of p90x today. This program is a very big time committment, but you def get results! I feel like a ballerina when I walk--my abs are pulled in and are so much tighter. Clothes are fitting better, despite my having only lost 3 lbs (I was 130 to start).

Week 6

Week 5, Thanksgiving week, wasn't too bad. I did miss out on Thanksgiving day, which would have been yoga, but managed the other workouts. The trouble is, now that I'm getting better at the moves, ol' Tony Horton has to throw in some new moves.

Corn cob chin ups, anyone? Good grief.

I did week 2 of the chest, shoulders and triceps on Monday, and I'm still sore. I'm fearing that I have an upper body workout today too. Yikes. Ah yes, just checked. Back and biceps (which requires my really ugly looking chin ups) plus the fabulous Ab Ripper X.

I got a little cocky, I must say, with the ab video. Once I made it through the entire 16 minutes of 349 ab/core moves, I felt empowered, as if it wouldn't ever be hard again. Hahahahahahaha...

Why am I doing this? I need results. My 8th baby landed me with a real spare tire 4 months later, and I've never had that before. I am happy to say that, 6 weeks into the program, I've lost 2.5" off my waist. But apparently, my 6 pack is hiding under the brownies I'd been eating...

Week 3 of P90X

Began week 3 of our eXtensive program! My client today mentioned (without prompting!) that I look fitter than I did 2 weeks ago. Yay!

The kids have been trying out sections here and there too. Our 16 yo is on day 2 of the program, now that football is over. He sure slept well last night!

my P90 X workouts

I have been p90xing it for 2 weeks now and have seen improvement in my body and energy levels. The first week is a killer. As one writer said, you pretty much just wait for the sweet kiss of death each night as your legs twitch and rhomboids shake.

My body was doing it's own special jitterbug involuntarily at times. But what a killer workout! No more twitching, just tired muscles. Lovin' it!
