Hello guys, just cheching in to fill you in on my progress. Today is day 20 of P90X and I am proud to say that I have not missed one workout in almost 3 weeks and that's AMAZING to me considering how much I slack concerning exercise. I have noticed a few "non-scale" victories as I am adamant about not weighing myself until the start of phase 2. I have been hearing that the scale could budge slightly or even increase as the body puts on new muscle. I have let the scale derail me too many times so I am preparing myself not to see much change come day 30. I don't notice the changes in my body yet but I do notice in the way my clothes are fitting. My coat is back to fitting comfortably; it had gotten to a point where I couldn't even bend down while wearing it or even wear anything thick underneath it. I'm still in my size 16 work pants (up from a 14 and borderline needed a 18!) but I am now back to being able to wear tights underneath them again so the 14's shouldn't be too far off. Also, pushups used to be my least favorite exercise and I could barely do even one. In three weeks time, I am completing a lot more than that and I've upgraded from doing many of them on my knees like a girly-girl (lol) to doing them the standard way, on my toes. I am very excited about what's to come. My diet WAS greatly on point but over the weekend I have slacked a little but not too bad. Grocery shopping is definitely in my near future. School starts today but I am focused so I don't plan to let that hinder me at all. The workouts are long but not so long that you can't make time for them. I'm excited to take my 30 day progress pics.
Transformation Tuesday
Lately I've been perusing P90X forums to stay motivated and gauge what my progress COULD be like if I remained diligent with the workouts and my eating habits. I came across that left me in awe.
As you can see, the greatest part of his transformation took place during phase 2 (I'm only a little over a week away from it and I'm beyond excited!). He stated that he followed the nutrition plans and macros and what not but I will continue to do what works best for me and that's 1 serving of carb, 1 fruit and the rest are meat and veggies. Maybe once I start to see drastic changes I might want to go harder on the nutrition aspect but right now it would be too much and I don't want to discourage myself. I'm hoping to see at least a little change between day 1 and 30 but even if it's hard to notice, my clothes say otherwise so for now, I'm cool with that.
