P90X Killer!

So as most of you who follow my blog know, my husband and I are constantly in the battle of the bulge. It would be nice one day to not have to worry about what we put in our mouths, but I don't know if that will ever happen. I wonder what its like for those people who have never had to watch their weight- they just "naturally" don't eat a lot. Or they could take food or leave it.
Seriously? I think they're aliens.
Anyway, at the beginning of this year hubby and I really got down to business and I lost about 15 pounds, hubby lost 25. Well as summer went on and we attended BBQs and weddings and parties...I've put 7 back on and so has hubby.

Enter- P90X.

We knew our gym membership would be expiring soon- so after hearing how wonderful the P90X program was- and how intense...we thought we'd give it a try!
Well the first week was PAINFUL- I mean, can't walk and want to cry painful! ...and mind you I work out regularly and was still this sore...
The second week was a bit more tolerable but it was still kind of hard to walk, and as we finish our third week, true to what Tony Horton claims, our bodies are starting to get used to the workouts...and we are kicking some ass!
I've been diligent- doing the full 50-90 minute workouts, 6 days per week. Hubby hasn't been quite as good, but he has still managed about 4 days per week- not so bad.

I thought once I started working full time I really wouldn't be able to do it- but I am and I am proud of myself. Its just a top priority for me. I hate having this extra weight on. I once got down to my goal and I remember how good it felt. It was easier to move; easier to breath and I felt so much better! Now I know I am not morbidly obese or anything, but I wanna be fit. I wanna be- damn look at her abs!!! kinda fit- so I'm working on it. I probably always will be.

But I honestly recommend the P90X program. If you don't want to pay for a gym membership and prefer to work out in the privacy of your home- but you don't want some whimpy workout where you don't see results and its easy to slack off. I started noticing a huge difference by day 7 !!! And now we're on day 20 and I can't believe how my body is changing.

Let's hope I (we) can keep it up.
