60 day Progress Photos

I have to admit that I am a little disappointed in the lack of progress that is shown in the photos, considering the amount of work that I put in this month. I'm maybe going to try different things to acheive my goals during this next month, such as dieting habits, etc.

So here I am with not much change showing....

P90X is still AMAZING! It makes me feel great and I am hoping to see MAJOR results next month, but I guess we'll see.

Progress Photos 30days

Ok, so I realized it was hard to tell how much progress I had actually made in my last post without seeing the pictures side by side. So here is my new progress post with side by side shots.




Now I realize that this is not exactly the same angle, but close enough. The progress is very slight, but I'm hoping to see better results next month.

30 day Progress Photos

So it's been 30 days since I posted my Before Photos and here is my progress over the last month. I have to say, we slacked big time on the P90X workout, but I have been doing other types of cardio, such as running, over this last month and I am pleased to see a slight change in my body. It's nothing drastic, but I also didn't put in a lot of effort, so I am not upset with these results. This next month I am dedicated to doing the P90X workout as intended to get the results I'm wanting.

Slacking

OK, so this last week my husband and I both have been slacking with our workouts. We started out good, but as soon as we said we were too busy one day, it was over. We never picked it back up. So after not working out and snacking on goodies that should never even be in our house...I feel terrible... and not just terrible with guilt, but physically drained! Junk does NOT do the body good!

I am 100% back in the game now! I am running a couple of miles on my treadmill just for a headstart on my week. I am determined to shed these pounds...and I am holding myself accountable by posting my progress for everyone to see.

Before Photos

Ok...so I decided to be brave and show before photos of myself so that you can track my results. I think knowing that I have these on here for everyone to see will also help motivate me even more to get back into shape. I plan to show progress photos about every 30 days.

Do Your Best!

Wow, last night's work-out was amazing! We followed the Plyometrics(Jump Training) video last night and, even though I thought I might collapse during part of it, I felt incredible afterwards. If anyone has been curious about the P90X video's, it is definitely worth your time and money.

The Trainer in these video's (Tony Horton) is very encouraging and makes it seem possible for you to follow him when otherwise you could easily get discouraged if you couldn't keep up. He is constantly saying "Just do your best and forget the rest". As cheesy as this may sound, it does help to hear it when your stumbling over your own feet during a work-out. My motto is "Doing something is always better than doing nothing".

I am looking forward to these next 6 months and I am going to do my best!

P90X workout

So as many of you know, I gave birth to the most beautiful little boy about 3 months ago and so here I am once again....wanting desperately to get back into shape.

I am 5'4 and before I had kids weighed about 110. And no, this did not come naturally for me, I had to work out, but it was certainly never hard for me. I never used to watch what I ate but that wasn't a problem because I LOVED to run and enjoyed working-out. So needless to say, I was in shock after giving birth to my first child. Love handles? What are these? Of coarse it is all worth it in the end blah, blah ,blah... but I still want my body back. My kids are such a beautiful gift from God, but why does giving birth have to be bitter sweet? Well for some, maybe it's not, but I am not one of those people who in 6wks is back to wearing my same old clothes. Even if I could possibly fit in them, I would not look like the same person with lumps and bumps in places that I pray go away someday.

As hard as it was I eventually got into shape again after my first child just in time to find out I was pregnant once again! I was ecstatic...not thinking at all about how hard it was to loose all that weight. During this pregnancy I focused a little more on what I ate and stayed in better shape throughout my pregnancy and I figured if I lost the weight before, I can do it again, right?

So here I am now...my baby 3 months old and I now realize that age is not our friend. With every day that passes our bodies slow down and well...I don't appreciate it. My husband and I are trying something new...P90X. For those of you who don't know what this is, it is a fitness training program that comes with 12 DVDs. We work out 6 days a week for 3 months, doing different workouts everyday, and we are supposed to be in good shape by the end of it. We have both made personal goals to continue following this for 6 months instead of 3. My husband is wanting to get in shape so that he can join in the "Hotter than Hell" race in Sept. I am doing this just to get back in shape and have a larger wardrobe than I do now. I plan to keep everyone posted on my progress throughout these 6 months.
