WEEK 3 OF P90X COMPLETED

Different approach to my blog this week. Big things happening at the moment so rather than go through each daily workout, I thought I'd just talk about that more.

Week 3 went extremely well. Each workout went pretty much as it did during week 2 although I think I performed better than in the previous week.

Okay, so I became an Independent Beachbody Coach last week. I had been receiving messages from lots of people from the Turbo Jam and P90X pages on Facebook commenting upon my success so far. I love to help any way I can and want to see people achieving the same results as me. So check out my page at www.milliondollarbody.com/Jude72.

Now to share some of my results. When I started out on my Beachbody Journey back on May 27th 2008 I weighed 180lbs and had a 40 inch waist. Within 3 months of doing Turbo Jam, I was down to 142lbs, which is where I stayed for the next several weeks. I started P90X on October 20th still weighing in at 142lbs. My waist at that point was 31 inches!

I weighed in this morning at 137lbs. I've lost 5lbs in 3 weeks which is great. I'm glad the weight loss is coming off slowly. I don't want to lose too much more weight. I just want to tone up and become a lot more lean.

What's even more amazing, that my total weight loss, is the fact that I measured my waist this week and it's now only 28 inches!! That's a loss of 3 inches in 3 weeks and a total of 12 inches in 5.5 months. I really can't remember the last time my waist was 28 inches. My size 10 clothes are falling off me. It's costing me a fortune to keep up with all the dress size losses. I've gone from a size 18 to a size 8-10 but do you know what? Who cares! I'd rather be spending money on my Beachbody products and new clothes than on numerous health bills later (or maybe not so later) in life because of being overweight.

I honestly don't believe I'd have come this far had I not put myself out of pocket. Borrowing a DVD from friends is great but every time I've done that, they've sat on a shelf gathering dust. When I bought Turbo Jam after watching the commercial on TV, I spent $120 on the complete package but it got me off my fat butt and working out. Money was and still is very tight for me at the moment so I didn't want to be wasting the money or letting anyone down by wasting the money. So instead I worked hard to stick at the schedule and diet plan and it paid off BIG TIME!

If anyone needs any incentive to get of the couch and change their life, here's a little something that might help.
