P90X: Final Results After 90 Days



Disclaimer: I am posting pictures that show more skin than normal. I do this to show the results that this program has to offer and not to make anyone feel uncomfortable. This is a P90X testimonial.


Wow. I cannot believe that 90 days....(13 WEEKS) of P90X is over. Honestly, I feel like it flew by. I have said it before, but I have to say it again: I honestly have my husband to thank for this. Initially, I did not want him to spend the money on it. I really thought it would be a waste- not because I didn't think it would work- but because I thought we couldn't do it/wouldn't stick with it. We are living proof that this CRAZY HARD program not only helped us lose some weight, it changed our lives! I have more energy, higher confidence and make better life choices when it comes to food.

Take a look at my progress.

This picture was taken Christmas morning. It was 1 week and 1 day prior to starting P90X.

(1) This is my DAY 1 of P90X picture
(2) Yes, it would have been better had I smiled; however, I didn't expect to EVER show this picture.
(3) No, I do not feel awkward putting a very unflattering picture of me in this blog because it is all about progress. It doesn't get more real than this people. :)

3/5/11
 60+ days into the program and -16 pounds/-30 inches



3/24/11 (happy birthday to me)
(1) 1 week and 2 days until P90X Cycle 1 is finished
(2) I know this picture could be somewhat awkward for some; however, (a) it's a bathing suit (b) this blog is all about the progress I have made with the program. Making myself vulnerable by putting this picture up is to show that this program really works!

Final
-20.8 pounds and -36.5 inches!


    While I am stoked with the results, I cannot stop here. My plan is to take this next week off. No work outs. I will still eat basically the same as I am now, but I want to give my body a break. After the week off, I will start P90X up again. This time I plan on doing the lean version that has a bit more cardio and less weight lifting. I am realistic enough to know that in the next 13 weeks it is unlikely that I would lose the same amount of weight and inches. The reason I feel this way is because the first 10 pounds I lost in Cycle 1 came off quickly. I believe this was due to the fact that my body went into shock because it wasn't used to the food or the workout regime. Even though I am giving my body a week off from the workouts, it will still be accustomed to eating better and exercising.

    My goal for Cycle 2 in P90X is 15 pounds. 15 pounds in 13 weeks seems somewhat unrealistic- but I would rather have a high goal to shoot for than a low one that doesn't push me. I will be happy with 10, but I want 15. If come July 9th, 2011 (the end of my next 13 weeks) I am down a total of 30-35 pounds....I will be beside myself with excitement. :)

 Wish me luck and thanks for your support!
