Pic Updates...
Lots of you were asking for pics... so...
TOP: OLD PIC (2 weeks); BOTTOM: NEW PIC (this morning)
If you notice, there isn't as much "flab" at the very bottom of my arm. HELL YES!
And here are some new body pics. Thank GOODNESS for taking pics to view my progress. I can't believe this is my body!
If you ever want to "lift" your butt, ladies, LUNGES is the way to go! ;)

P90X Completed Week 6
Ok, I won't lie. I had to re-complete week 6. I was a VERY bad P90X-er during the Thanksgiving holiday. I missed THREE days of working out and ate like a horse. Luckily, I didn't gain any weight, but I did NOT lose inches... A bump in the road, but I was back with a vengeance this week!
I just want to SCREAM that I hit the 76 pound mark... HELL YES. I am less than 10 pounds away from my goal, but I think I might want to keep going. I am VERY close to being in my "ultimate" pant size, but here's where my mind has changed: I am no longer going after a weight or a pant size; my ultimate goal has now become "being in the best shape I can possibly be in."
Current P90X Measurement Losses:
Weight: Minus 13.5 Lbs
Chest: Minus 2 inches
Waist (at bellybutton): Minus 4 inches
Hips: Minus 3.5 inches
Thighs: Minus 2.5 inches
Arms: Minus .75 inches
Total Inches Lost: 12.75 total inches
Here's what I learned over the last three weeks: SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED A BREAK FROM WORKING OUT AND "DIETING." Go easy on yourself; a little self-indulgence can be VERY good for you. However, too much self-indulgence can lead right back to being overweight again.
You know what pissed me off this morning? I saw an infomercial for some spandex body shaper that said: "Tired of dieting? Tired of exercising? Our product can take 4 inches off your body without ANY of those!" Really?! I used to wear those, and let me tell you something: everyone around me thought I looked better, but I still knew I was wearing one, and I still felt fat (and rightly so) because I knew it wasn't my "real" body or image. It NEVER gets old to slip into a dress, look in the mirror, and see EVERYTHING in place where it ought to be WITHOUT using one of those spandex body shapers.
