Slow and Steady Wins the Race :)

Week 8 and another pound down, and week 4 of P90X finished. I have to tell you, I am so impressed with this workout program!  When I began this biggest loser contest I could do a grand total of THREE push ups!  Four weeks in to P90X and I can do at least 20!  (That's because you do them nearly every freaking day in some form or another!).  It's amazing how fast your body can adapt when you push yourself.  I have no doubt in my mind I can get back to the kind of shape I was in when I was young. (er)  It's going to happen I tell ya! 

Besides the obvious benefits of being thinner, I am feeling so much better.  Before I started the contest I was having to take Prilosec every single day to combat nausea and/or heartburn.  I was having major peri-menopause symptoms and just felt all around crappy!  Since I've been doing this I have not had to take one single pill, have not had one single night sweat or hot flash and I just feel sooo much better!  I don't feel deprived, or feel like I'm starving.  I'm just enjoying eating good food. The weight is coming off and the health benefits are huge!  What's not to like about this??  And why was it ever so hard to get off my butt and get started?  I hope I never fall back in to bad habits again.  I just have to remind myself how good this feels. :) 

And for no other reason than just being the plain CUTEST thing ever......I had to share this!

I seriously feel so blessed to have this "not so little anymore" baby in my life.  She just makes me feel happy!
