Get out what YOU put in!

I saw this today and it really gave me a swift kick in the you-know-what!  I'm so close to my goal, yet it's getting tougher and tougher the closer I get.  Sometimes I get a little frustrated, and sometimes I get down on myself...wondering what I must be doing wrong. 

Well, really, it's nothing I'm doing wrong.  I'm getting out what I put in, and honestly, I'm just not putting in enough!  Now that I'm almost done with P90X, I'm so much stronger and definitely in much better shape.  I'm scheduled to start Insanity in about 3 weeks, I KNOW it is going to help me reach my ultimate goal! 

I'll be running an Insanity Challenge group, of which I will be a part of.  Join me!  If you're intersted, email me!  The group will consist of 5 (at the most) commited and dedicated individuals.  Let's do this together!

Quinoa, Lentils, Kale, and TASTY!

I guess I should post this in my recipe section, but it's just too good not to post here, too!  My friend brought me some of this a few weeks ago after she made it and it was SO good that I decided to try and make it myself.  I made it yesterday and it as just as good as I remembered!

So, when people say that eating healthy means you have to eat boring and not-so-great-tasting food - it's just not true.  Find recipes that incorporate things that you really enjoy.  And, substitute healthier ingredients for the full-fat ones and you'll be surprised that you may just come up with something you really like that you can feel good about eating.

P90X Update

I forgot to post my P90X 60 day update!  After 60 days, I was down 9 lbs and 14.5 inches total!!  Excited about the 9 lbs, but REALLY excited about the 14.5 inches.  My clothes fit better but most importantly, I feel much stronger.  P90X is definitely different than the other Beachbody programs I've done (TurboJam and TurboFire).  Although those are fantastic, too, P90X is more intense when it comes to building strength.  And, doing some of the TurboFire workouts after having done 60 days of P90X, I can tell a major difference. 

So, as if choosing to do P90X wasn't insane enough, I'm already looking ahead since I only have about 20 days left.  I just ordered Insanity!  Never thought I would say this, but I'm excited to start!

Goals

For me, having a goal is so important when it comes to fitness.  I have 3 goals - a weight (lbs), a pant size, and feeling better and healthier overall.  The first isn't as important because we all know that muscle weighs more than fat.  The second is important to me because I know when I reach my goal size, I'll feel much better about looking at myself in the mirror!  But, the 3rd goal is really the most important.  I want to feel better, have more energy, and in the process ... like what I see when I try on clothes, or look in the mirror.  So, they all serve a purpose, but work together for the final product I'm working towards.  If you don't have a goal, you have nothing to work for.  So set your goals, and then go crush them (as Tony Horton would say)!
