P90X---ending the 2nd Phase

So, I'm in my recovery week of Phase 2 and thinking of what I have endured these last 2 months.  P90X was something that my fiancee wanted to try since our vacation last summer.  While in Orlando he was up one night and caught the infomercial and was convinced that this was the workout for him.  I was soooooooooooooooooooo skeptical.  It looked hard and the infomercial didn't ease my worries.  I kept hearing Tony Horton saying its not easy.... So naturally being as overweight was I was I became afraid.  After I took a look at the results I was curious to try it out but still a little afraid that I wouldn't be able to stick with it.

But almost 60 days later all I can say is wow!!!!! My results although not as dramatic as some are still definitely visible.  Its been a though 60 days but well worth it.  I wanted to quit, I got discouraged, I've been disappointed, I've been elated, energized, happy, renewed all in 60 days.  I have to admit working out everyday is not ideal for me.  Its definitely been a bittersweet process.  I can't wait to reveal my results.  This last phase of round one we are attempting to do doubles.  Doubles is a Cardio workout in the am and a weightlifting (some cardio) in the pm. 


The key word here is attempt.  I am not really excited about going to doubles but I want more dramatic results.  Also thinking in round 2 to do a hybrid of P90X and Insanity.  I am not fully committed to that one yet but we'll see how this last phase goes.  I have knee issues and Insanity may not be ideal for me just yet.  But I'm hoping doing doubles will prepare me.  Well P90X-er's I've been still bringing it, and will continue to do so at least through these next 30 days.  Will check back in to let you know my success at a later date and to also let you know my decision as to weather or not I will do the hybrid.  O I'm also thinking of becoming a coach.  I talked to my fiancee about possibly doing a couples type of workout coaching. So let me know what you think?  Have any questions? I'm not an expert but I can give you the perspective of a busy mom that's been trying to lose weight for yrs.   Need encouragement? I can help you out with that as well.  Send anything comments, questions, or if you just need to vent I'm here for you.  So talk to you soon.  As always Remember to brush your teeth in the shower!!!!!
