Week 13...it is finally here!!

I am remembering the beginning of this journey like it was yesterday!! I was so scared to do P90x3 with Tony Horton but I also knew I would regret it if I didn't at least give it a try.

Well let me tell you I am so very thankful I gave it a go because I loved this program. Whether I was sweating my rear off in CVX or using my tape in Agility X the program always kept my mind and body guessing. For someone who gets bored very easily this was a perfect program.

What I loved about my P90x3 Journey...

1. I loved that when I started the program I started it with one of my health and fitness challenge groups. We all got to experience the x3 programs together. Whether we were trying to figure out how on earth you hold crane without "eating carpet" or attempting crane cracker push-ups - we were there for one another in the good and the learning moments

2. As mentioned I get bored VERY easily and with a 90 day program as is P90x3 I was a little worried about boredom setting in especially during those last 30 days (between days 60-90 in the program). During this time is typically when I do get bored and my motivation starts to go downhill. I feel because of the variety and intensity of the workouts in x3 that is why I DIDN'T get bored. You have pure cardio, strength training, pilates, yoga, mixed martial arts, and best of all there is a modifier so if you start off not being able to do the workouts.

3. My balance has improved greatly!! I am very impressed with this because a long time ago I had very impressive balance but as I got older I lost it. P90x3 helped me get that back!!

4. I am sure you heard Abs are made in the kitchen and I believe this as well but I do feel the P90x3 workouts have helped define my abs more and for that I am thankful. This year was the first time since 2009 that I wore a 2 piece bathing suit. I finally had my confidence back and felt comfortable in my own skin (doesn't hurt that I have some nice abs to show too!) BUT you won't see a picture of my abs because that is just for me. If you want to see them then run into me at the pool or beach!!

I could seriously go on and on about all the many great things I loved about my experience with P90x3. But I don't want to ramble on and on so these are my top loves above!!

In addition to working out of course it is important to me to stick to my meal planning routine each week. I did this meal plan on Sunday as I normally do and thankfully this week I did not have to do any type of grocery shopping!! Just another example of how meal planning has saved me money - I use what I have and minimize waste!!

Some people ask me how I do this with fresh fruit and veggies and NOT all fruit and veggies will last over a week. I use these green baggies and containers that are suppose to prolong the life of fruit and veggies and I have to say it REALLY DOES!! I did an experiment with broccoli where I kept some in the fridge like normal vs. some in these green containers and voila the broccoli in the green containers lasted longer!!

Well there you have it, come Saturday I can officially say I am a P90x3 Graduate!!

But don't take my word for it, you too can have the P90x3 experience!!

P90x3 has become one of the most popular

Week 2 Review and Week 3 Planning P90x3 Women's Perspective

Wow, is all I can say when it comes to P90x3. I am blown away by how fast these workouts fly by. Yes, I know they are 30 minutes in length but seriously they seem a lot shorter than that!! I love the flow of the workouts because you NEVER get bored and you are constantly
moving onto the next exercise. I also love that each day it is something different - the variety of this program is my favorite part of this program. YES don't get me wrong I want to see results just like any other person but my biggest problem with workouts is I get BORED very easily. 2 weeks in and 2 weeks going strong!!

Here is how I planned for my Week 2 last week. Remember for your body to function properly you need to fuel it properly and that is what my plan includes!! Each and every week I always try my best to make sure I am getting the proper nutrients from as much whole foods as possible. These past two weeks I introduced to my diet the P90x Protein Bars. I tried all four flavors and my favorite by far is the Chocolate Peanut Butter, my daughter's is the Chocolate Fudge, and my son's is the Wildberry yogurt. I didn't share the Cafe' Mocha with my kids and I did not particularly care for it. I will for sure be getting more of these in the future!

This week was a review of the workouts from Week 1 so there was nothing new there. I did find it much more challenging this week. So, no pictures from the week because I had to give even more focus to my workouts to get through them.

At the time I didn't know if I was tired, sore from the previous week, not eating enough, drinking enough, or something else. Although I had followed my meal plan and my days were normal I just was not performing as I had hoped. Later in the week I found out why I was not responding well and that is I came down with some sort of illness and it must have been working on me during the week. I didn't realize it at the time and I am not a doctor but it all made sense when I was down for the count later Friday night.

That was then and this is now, a new week and another day and time to get it right and get back on track. Today I feel a bit weak yet but I plan on combating that with giving the P90x3 Pilates a try. Pilates was always my favorite workout in the past so I thought why not go to ole faithful.

and now preparation for Week 3 Begins and I am VERY EXCITED because I am looking forward to my energy returning but I am also looking forward to progressing in my x3 journey!!

Here's my plan for the week!! Nothing new in the workouts department although I plan on giving the Dynamix workout a go on my REST day. I have found especially with this program the stretching workouts are essential. My muscles feel a thousand times better after stretching and from what I hear that is what Dynamix is all about. Sooo, be sure to check back at the end of the week for my Week 3 Review! Until then...
