12 Weeks...and the Winner Is....

Me!!  I did it! I set out with a goal to win this thing and I did!  Woo hoo!  I don't think my stats were all that great, but apparently better than anyone else.  Total weight loss was 14.2lbs, and 7.1% body fat.  I didn't lose any weight the last two weeks, but my fat % went down again and my muscle percentage went up.  Thanks to P90X I'm sure :)  I won $50 bucks. Woot! I also won a whole closet full of clothes I couldn't fit in to a few months ago. Now I don't have to ask myself what "can" I wear this morning, but what do I "want" to wear.  More importantly, I stuck with it for the entire 12 weeks and didn't quit.  This is a huge thing for me.  And...I just feel so much better!

What's next for me? Finish the next 5 weeks of P90X as strong as possible. Then...do it again! Then...celebrate my 50th birthday in November in a bikini on a tropical beach somewhere :) :)   I can dream can't I? Bring it!!

 You and me hammock...we will meet one day soon!

11 Week update...

No, I didn't quit or get lost....was just out trekking last week.  Ate terrible....had to eat what there was and it was all full of calories.  No harm done I don't think but really trying to make up for it these last few days before the final contest weigh-in on Wednesday. Good luck me!

10 Weeks and Counting

Just weighed in for week 10.  Down another couple pounds for a total of 14.  Hurrah!  More importantly, fat percentage is down 6%!  Yay! The contest is getting such positive feedback they have decided to extend it another week for a 12 week total. Who came up with the 11 week thing in the first place?  ;) 

Tomorrow will mark the half way point of P90X.  I am really excited about the results I'm getting with it.  Seriously, I was hopeful but had no idea just how well it would really work!  Perhaps I will be brave in the end and post my disgusting "before" picture along with my "after" photo if it's as incredible as I think it might be. :)  Not sure I'm that brave though.  You might have to become a Beach Body member if you want to see them..... ;)  Time will tell! 

Week 9

Hard to believe it's been 9 weeks already.  I didn't weigh in yesterday because the nice lady who is in charge of it was "out".  But that's okay.  I don't think the scale moved at all last week.  Doing P90X is not the fastest way to get the scale to move.  Fortunately the contest is not about pounds lost, but fat percentage, so I still have a fighting chance.  I'm losing inches and building muscle.  Evidence....is that some definition I see in my tricep?  I believe it is!  Woo hoo! 

Lindsey graduated from Cottonwood last Friday.  Serious dejavu as she walked down that ramp!  31 years ago I was doing that very thing on that very stage.  We just missed it on film, but the girl who was right behind her fell off the ramp and totally biffed it!  It was so funny!  (The girl wasn't hurt, of course that would not have been funny ;))  On Tuesday we went up to Utah State for her orientation and to look for housing.  I am excited and scared for her at the same time!  How did this happen so quickly?  She is such a joy to have in my life and I am so going to miss her. :(
