All DONE!

Wow, I am done with P90X. I hoped to complete the final week of Recovery. I was able to do 5 out of the 6 days. The last day was absolutely packed, so I wasn't able to do it. But I am so glad to say  I completed all 12 weeks of P90X. Here's what I accomplished in 12 weeks. I can do 25 sit ups from the ground, 10-15 pulls ups with a chair, I can lift 15 lb dumb bells and I can do 30 push ups on my knees and 3-4 without my knees.I lost 9 pounds, 2.5 inches on my waist, an inch on each thigh and an inch on each arm. ALL my clothes fit better and some of them are a little big. I am sorry to not have posted pictures, but I just couldn't do it. It was too personal.

I learned A LOT with P90X. I learned how hard I can push my body. I learned that exercise can be done in an hour and be effective. I learned how to make the most of my workouts and how to make time for it as best I can. I am so grateful for my husband for pushing me to do it. I whined and moaned, but in the end he was right and my body is better for it. At 33 and having carried 6 children, I am glad to know my body will get back to normal. My back doesn't hurt anymore and I feel so much better inside and out.

Thank you to all my family and friends who cheered me on and encouraged me through this process. I am excited to get back in the gym and try some new exercises. I plan to start this up again in the fall when my kiddos are back in school. For anyone out there wondering if they should do P90X, I would say go for it. Even if you can't do any of it in the beginning, know you will get stronger and it will teach you many things about yourself. I'm just so glad that 12 weeks is done and I survived.
