Week 12

Ahhh.....I've made it folks. I completed the last week of hard work-outs.  Tomorrow is the start of my (final) rest week, so a week from today, I'll have completed P90X. Whoa. Hard to believe it's been so.....amazing! I would say that I am so excited to never do this ever again, but alas, I have decided to take a double beating and will be starting my second round of it after a slight break, sometime in late January perhaps.

And here's why......give it up for this lady, she's incredible. Insane. Amazing. Astonishing. http://www.pressplayfitness.com/09/ab-makeover-in-30-days/   I mean, I'm around the corner from completing it, and in my opinion, I don't even look THIS good. ;) I mean, the woman is 51!! After some deliberation about what my goals have now turned into, I figure, why change something that works so well? And fast? Lets face it, I started at a point where I had much to lose, much skin resilience to gain back, and lots of toning that needed to be done. I have just now gotten back to the point that most people start out at. So as much as I'd like to say I've reached the point of ultimate physical achievement, this has only wet my appetite for more.  It just feels so great to be in good shape! It may take a month or two of a break to get back into another 90 day stretch, so in the meantime, Dane and I are going to join a gym for awhile, as he is an excellent and knowledgeable trainer.  Gotta switch up the monotony a little and get a new routine going. Does no good to get burned out, and that's the point I'm finding myself at currently, so definitely time to try something new for a little bit. But who can deny these fast results?

At the risk of sounding cheesy.....ah what the heck. This has changed my life! Taught me new things about myself, taught me to reach deeper. I'll admit, I have been surprised by what I've found. Strength, endurance, determination. I've never been one to work out.......;) So I now know it's all there.  The fact that it's now been ingrained for 3 months is a starting point.

I'll post a farewell, and some pictures next week!
