HERE THEY ARE! MY PROGRESS PHOTOS!!!!

lactation-tips asked: I've been doing P90x for 25 days and I have noticed an increase in muscle but I have only lost 11 lbs. My goal weight is 85 lbs away and I was hoping I'd weigh at least 15 lbs lighter by now. How much weight did you loose with p90X in 90 days and Can you do at least 1 free hanging pull up?

I know a lot of people say this, but seriously STOP looking at the scale! First of all, it’s just a number & something more to stress about. Measure yourself, inches is what counts & what shows more importantly. I did end up losing over 20 pounds all together with the program, but I gained so much muscle as well, & muscle weighs more than fat! & yes, with a lot of effort I can do at least 1 pull up haha. I can’t wait to do the program for the second time & see even MORE changes!!

A Moment of Sunshine

As I was driving to work today after hanging out with Matt on a run, I didn’t even realize the radio was off as the sun beat down & the wind rushed by. It was 5 minutes of pure calm as the birds sang around me. A glimpse of paradise

Matthew’s almost done with p90x as well!! :D  So very proud of him, I wanted to repost this because I didn’t get to edit the post in order to say that second part, he’s been so good with it & I honestly didn’t think he was ever going to finish, but he’s getting there for sure!!

Rumor Has It

That apparently I went anorexic & didn’t actually do the workout? Uhm. Pardon me, I worked my fucking ASS off for my body, don’t you dare think about minimizing my progress. I know the truth, so sit down & shut up before I find out who started this & I put a serious damper on your life.

Did the ab ripper today just for fun :DDDD Damn does it feel good to be graduated from p90x!!!!!!!!
