Good morning all!
As of Sunday night, I am officially a P90X graduate! I can not tell you the feeling of accomplishment that I felt the very moment that I finished that last workout. I am very proud of myself, and this is just the beginning of my new, healthier lifestyle. I'm learning more about myself every day, and I want to take care of this body that God blessed me with.
Yesterday, I signed up for a 5K run/walk that is taking place here in Winchester on the 15th. For the next week and a half, I will be training for this. I've never been much of a long-distance runner. Sprints....yes, but miles...no. I'm excited though. Something new, something exciting, and I DO plan on running the whole time. Let's see if I can get myself ready for that in time. :o)
Other than the run, I will be taking a little bit of a break up until the end of school. We have 22 days of school left. I will continue doing workouts 3 nights a week until school is out. Once we have said goodbye to the school year, I plan on finishing another one of Tony Horton's 90 day programs. I will probably do the P90X again, but do a difference calendar....the lean calendar. There's a few things that still need some tweaking and tightening. :o)
Thanks again, everyone for being so very supportive. I know ,any of you have suggested before/ after pictures. I do plan on posting some to this blog....I just have to get my husband to take some new ones for me. Pictures of me are VERY hard to come by around here. I've always hated pics of myself. Anyway, I will post them on here as soon as I can.

WEEK 13!!!
Well folks,
This is it!!! I am in my final week of the P90X program. I will finish my 90 days this Sunday. I can't believe that I've done it! I am beside myself excited, not only about how much better I feel, but that I actually stuck to the committment. Believe me...this process is far from over. I've already begun to plan my program for the summer. The next 90 days is in the works.
As of right now, I've lost a total of 25 pounds, and MANY inches during this process. I've went from a size 16 pants, down to a size 10. I haven't seen a 10 since high school! Anyway, to anyone who wants to really feel empowered and feel healthier, I highly suggest this workout system. It's difficult...but hey...anything that's actually going to have results is going to be some hard work, right? I plan on continuing the hard work to maintain AND improve what I've worked so hard for over the last 3 months. Thanks to all of you for all of your support and for your kind words of encouragement. That has really helped me in this journey. I will post again when the 90 days is officially over.
3 more days!!!!

Day 77, Week 11
Well folks, I have just finished week #11, as of last night. Unfortunately, this morning, there were no signs of weight loss...in fact, a .2 increase. YUCK! I will attribute it to being bloated...yes....that's my excuse. Hey, I can't complain too much. I was just on spring break, and I may have eaten a meal or two that wasn't the best for me. :o) (For example...my mom's amazing recipe for tater tot casserole...YUM!!!) Anyhoo, I am feeling really good, other than the typical stress of end-of-the-school-year stuff. We have kindergarten registration tomorrow until 5, then Noah has soccer practice until 6:30. Choir practice Wednesday night, and thankfully, a couple hours free Thursday night to finish the bazillion projects I have due for grad school on Friday. I have class Friday and Saturday, then Noah's birthday party Saturday evening. This is definitely a kicker of a week coming right off of spring break. I can't believe my baby turns 6 tomorrow. Where has all of the time gone?
Well, back to P90X for a minute....things are going great and I am already excited about starting my next 90 day venture. I'm going to tweak things a bit and follow the "lean" calendar rather than the "classic" that I have been following for the last 11 weeks. I'm going to be focusing on those trouble areas. I have really enjoyed having this as a part of my life the last several weeks. I know that I would miss it if I didn't continue. I guess, in a lot of ways, it already has been adopted into being part of my lifestyle. Ok...I'm a little sleepy, so I'm rambling. I will just get to the point.....

Day 70
Hello All!
I finally have some time to blog this week, being on spring break. I am ready to get back to it! I fnished week #10 yesterday. Weigh in day was this morning, and I lost 2 more pounds! YEAH! I have now lost a total of 22 pounds. I am down to 145 now. YEAH!!!! That was a huge goal for me when starting this whole venture. I really, deep down, didn't think I would reach that goal. Well, I've always learned that, whenyou reach a goal, set a new one. So, now....my goal, over these last 3 weeks, is to lose 5 more measley pounds and hit 140. If I can do that, I will be at my high school weight! Woohoo! I know I can do it. After this is over, I'm going to go back through and follow the lean program. This will not focus so much on weight loss, but rather toning, firming, etc. I can't believe I'm even considering starting another program, but this one, I will be able to do over the summer, so that will make a huge difference. Anyway, I am so excited and proud of myself for reaching such a milestone. I've seen some amazing changes, and the way I feel these days is just priceless.
To anyone who is considering this program, know that it will feel impossible at first, but like Tony Horton says, you just have to make sure that you turn it on every day. Do as much as you can, the best that you can. That's all you can do. It's really been exciting to see how far I've come. When I started, I could hardly make it through any of the exercises....maybe only doing 1 or 2 of some things. Now, I can pretty much do it all...,maybe not as many or as perfectly as the folks on the video do, but I can hold my own weight and keep up pretty darn well.
Thatnks for all of your support, comments, and interest in my venture. I will try and keep closer tabls on my blogs over these last few weeks.
