Update

So I realized that I hadn’t updated you all on my recent progress. Yes I have been going strong still with P90X and am scheduled to complete on January 23. Boy does time fly! Although I probably won’t finish on that date because I will be out of town, the end is still near. While I am gone, I still plan to work it on out, just not on the P90X DVDs. I have been monitoring what I eat and how much. Throughout this time I have learned two key things: a). It isn’t how much you eat all the time, it is what you eat. B). Drink A LOT of water. My water intake is crazy, it suppresses my appetite and flushes water out so my body won’t cling on to it. I have become a label reader and calorie counter. I’m not so quick to just grab stuff because that could slam my daily caloric intake. This was hard to do at first, just as portion control was but my stomach has adjusted. I am not eating nearly as much as I was, and I am eating better.

Ok so on to my stats as of today. I am 15 pounds down. Not anything drastic but I’m satisfied with the inches.

Left arm – 1 inch lost
Right arm – 1.25 inches down
Right thigh – 2 inches lost
Left thigh – 2.25 inches lost
Bust – 1 inch lost
Waist – 2.25 inches lost
Hips – 2 inches lost

That is a total of 11.75 inches lost overall. I don’t know what is typical for a program like this, either way I’m happy. I’m losing and not gaining so I am good. One word of advice, follow the diet plan from day 1. If I would’ve followed Tony’s diet plan I bet I would’ve achieved even better results. I am happy though! Just to see inches lost, especially up top and in those hips. Honey, I’m ecstatic! I just wanted to give an update on how things were, I’m seeing a change and so are others around me. Next update will be the final one for this particular program, however the buck doesn’t stop here. I still have a long way to go to reach my goal. Be blessed and thanks to those who have supported me along the way. Peace!
