OK, so here’s the deal…
I’m at the end of my 3rd week of doing P90x and although I haven’t seen a huge change on the scale, I have felt an enormous difference in my strength and endurance. Also, my energy levels throughout the day has skyrocketed! BONUS! I used to get super tired and lazy around 2-3pm but lately I’ve maintained a steady up beat pace throughout the day. I think this is not only due to the exercises which is a given, but also to the smaller meals I’m having and the healthy snacks I eat in between meals. I think I’m getting used to this! I feel great and I know I’m just going to feel even better as the weeks go by! 
On another note, today I achieved a personal victory. I bravely walked into my closet, pulled out a pair of pants that I have not been able to wear for about 2-3 years, slipped them on, buttoned them up and…TADA! They fit!!!! Comfortably!
I will trade that accomplishment and feeling over a number on a scale any day. It is the biggest motivation and only makes me want to work harder, keep focused and stay committed.
Achieving your goals is not an easy feat. Otherwise, we would all be achieving our goals left right and center like no big deal. The hard work and the dedication that you need to put in in order to achieve what you want in life is NOT EASY! It’s a lot of time invested and sacrifices have to be made. But when you get there, it is soooooooo worth every blood, sweat and tears that you had to endure in the process.
I still have my weaknesses, believe me! It is a battle everyday to choose to eat healthy and choose to exercise. But once I’ve made the right choice, I feel so much better about ME! And you know what, when I do make the wrong choice, I forgive myself and move on. But know that I will have to kick my workout up a notch. Sometimes the calories aren’t worth the amount of time I would have to invest in burning them off. It’s all about making the right choices.
I still have a very long way to go. Very long. And I always say, I am a work in progress. I believe that when you take your time and don’t rush things, that is when you get the best results.
I hope everyone has a great weekend! It’s supposed to be a hot one!
