So the last couple of weeks have been a bit rough. We have been short of help at work lately and along with me being sick and Mike being sick it have been hard to get anything done. Hopefully, things will start evening out in the next couple of weeks.
I have a couple of updates. I'm still doing P90X, although I haven't been as religious about it. But I'm still trying to keep up. At least 4 days a week I'm belting out a DVD. I can tell that its working, because I can do more of the reps and keep up a lot better. I enjoy most of the videos, but I like the Core and Cardio ones the best. I am in love with the X-Strentch DVD. It is just a relaxing, working jaunt through a lot of different stretching moves.
So has it paid off??? Well I'm gonna be honest and say that I did not take my 30 day pictures. Why? Well one I was worried that I wouldn't see a difference, two I was pretty sick when those were supposed to be taken, and just a little laziness. I did get around to redoing my measurements for 30 days. It was actually around 35-36 days. This was an awesome experience. I lost a total of close to 9 inches. Not in all the places I wanted to, but still they are gone. Hopefully for good. I lost 1 inch around my neck, 3 around my waist, 2 around my hips, and the worst is 3 around my chest. My arms and legs I'm not gonna count because they both went up a bit, but not by much.
I'm still trying to stick to a good diet also. I have been pretty good all in all. I'm actually getting to where I'm getting full. This doesn't happen to me. I decreased the portion size of my food and now I can't always clean my plate. If you know me you know that is odd. I kinda like it though. So has this worked as well? Yep it has. I had weigh-in for Well's Weighs-In yesterday. This was our 60day weigh-in. I was a little keyed up about it, because the last weigh-in was a little disappointing. I weighed my self the day before and when I went in for the official measurement it wasn't the same in the wrong direction. This time I weighed myself at the Y the day before and was pleasantly surprised with the results. So when I went in yesterday I was expecting to be disappointed. I was not disappointed at all! I weighed in at 175.something. Awesome! So that makes an official 13 pounds since the initial weigh-in. YAY!!! I'm so excited.
So as a recap: I'm still on the path, but have had bumps along the way. I've lost 9 inches and 13 pounds. I just hope that I can keep this up and not hit a plateau until I at least hit 20 pounds down. Lets see what I can do.
I also plan to keep this up better too.
Oh yeah and I've been accused of having droopy a** syndrome. My goal is to loose another 8-10 pounds before I let myself buy new clothes. Can't wait!
