Phase 1. COMPLETE.

So here we are, at day 30 of p90x.  It has gone by a lot faster than I'd expected, which makes me wish I had done a few things differently.  Like the diet part of it.  But there's always tomorrow (or second phase) and I'm committing to the diet.  I'm really excited about it because I finally feel ready.

That being said, I'm so proud of myself for sticking to the workouts.  With time restraints, kids, blogging and just everyday stuff, it wasn't all that easy to do all of the time.  We've decided though, that this part of our lifestyle shouldn't be an option.  Working out should be like drinking water.  It's just what you do.  We want to show and teach our kids that it's one of our top priorities.  Not to mention we love it, it brings us closer as a family, and it gets the February antsies out.

When we first began, I decided that I wanted to do the 'lean' version of p90x.  Basically it's to look trimmer as opposed to muscley bulky.  Since I'm pretty athletic, I've decided that honestly, the lean version is not intense enough for me (gloating).  I don't have that sore feeling that I love after workouts.  So for this phase I'm doing some workout substitutions.  We've also decided to go doubles, which means three times a week getting some (more) cardio in.  That's just what we like to do.  We like to run, swim, bike (hellllllo triathlete wife.)  Physically speaking, we also like to push ourselves and each other to the limit.  It's a challenge that we enjoy.

So here are the stats:
Weight: lost 6 pounds, then gained 3 pounds back from the skiing trip, fat tuesday, etc etc.  so -3lbs.  Mr Incredible, -10.
Chest: me: -2.5 inches  Mr Incredible: -2.5 inches
Waist: me: -1.25 inches  Mr Incredible: -3.25
Hips: me: -1/2 inches (I've got a pear shaped body.  leave me alone.) Mr Incredible: 0 (apparently he does too)
R arm: me: -1 1/8 inches Mr Incredible: -.5 inches
L arm: me: -3/4 inches  Mr. Incredible: -3/4 inches
R leg: me: -2.25 inches  Mr Incredible: -2.5 inches
L leg: me: -2.25 inches  Mr Incredible: -3/4 inches

 i fully debated whether or not to post these- im satisfied enough... just wished id done the nutrition part!

i'm clearly a tad awkward.

Other things you cannot tell from the pics.  1) I think my neck lost 3 pounds.  I never thought I had a fat neck... 2) My thighs are toning up and smoothing  3) my butt is getting tiiight 4) my back is becoming more defined 5) that's a 1989 adidas crop top.  from an ex boyfriend's mom.  truth.
