P90X3 is COMPLETED!!!



90 day Transformation

I never thought I would say I have completed a P90X program....EVER. It's been sometime since I posted my weekly update. I got lost in the craziness of life and switching jobs which then put me at studying for a state licensing test for a couple of weeks, but I am BACK with my weekly updates!
I could not be happier with my first time with P90X. I LOVED it. My normal workout time is 5 AM, take a shot of E & E and start my workout with Tony Horton. Who loves to workout that early? NOT me. It took sometime to adjust but the E & E definitely helped. Tony's humor made it easier to finish the workouts as well.

SO.... I had a goal of being able to touch my toes by the end of the program and unfortunately that didn't happen, but I am still working on it. Instead, I have learned to master "The Crow". Who would've thought? NOT THIS GIRL. When I started this program I had ZERO upper body strength so to see this picture, BLOWS MY MIND.

The way my body has changed, feels amazing. I have never felt this straight before. These programs really do work!



The Crow (PROUD MOMENT)

I was involved in an accountability group throughout this program and the motivation from other challengers and coaches is what helped me. The time & dedication I put into it, is got me these results. I often see other people failing the "at home" workouts because they don't have the accountability and support  from a coach. Of course there were morning when my alarm when off at 5 AM and I didn't want to get up. There were days I hit the snooze because I was exhausted from studying until midnight the night before. I simply didn't want to do it. I still got up and did it. Exhaustion did set in about my 10-11th week. Starting my new job & studying all those hours, lack of sleep, I needed to sleep in and get those extra hours. I just came home from work and pushed play then. Staying on track is SO important. If not, you will fall of and not want to get back on, yes I have been there.
Following the guidelines of the mal plan provided was easy to adjust to. It was similar to what I was working with before from T25. Without the meal planning & prep, clean eating, and of course Shakeology, I would not have received the results I did.

I am over the moon about those numbers. I had some LBS put on throughout the program and inches as well. When I went into X3 I had no intentions of trying to loose weight, I just wanted to tone up. I got the best of both worlds now :).

If your thinking about this program, I highly recommend it if your looking to not loose weight, yet tone or bulk up. I did get my feet wet again with running, so I did add that into the mix a few times.

Next program, 21 DAY FIX!  Beachbody's newest program. I am excited to join my challengers with this program. Even greater results will be coming soon!
