On the Home Stretch

If you've been following us since the beginning, you know that this is the last week of P90X.  We have final pictures and measurements on Saturday.  As I reflect back on this experience I am happy to say that although I've dreaded the workouts on occasion, P90X has truly become a lifestyle change that I have welcomed.  Not only do I continue to eat healthier, I have become 100% more active than I was before starting this journey. Fitness has really become a priority in my life because I've realized how much better I feel when I am active and making healthy choices.  My body can truly tell the difference when I have not eaten well and I've missed a workout. 

But, I am still up in the air about what to do next.  Realistically, I probably will never make it to an outside fitness class.  Finding the time to workout at home is enough of a challenge without having to worry about driving across town to a class.  So, I think I will stick with the in home workout routine. Not only will I be able to workout in the comfort of my own home, I won't have to worry about people staring at my lack of coordination and rhythm. :)

I think an important factor in moving forward though, is keeping the motivation.  I'm pretty sure Damien will be on board with whatever I decide and it sure helps to have someone there to push you when you feel like skipping a day.  Or perhaps I will keep up with the blog, depending on how many people want to take the next step with me.  Blogging keeps me honest and accountable and that is something I need if I want to keep going with this healthy lifestyle. 

I am still patiently waiting for P90X:MC2.  But until then I do have some options. I know that I can always do P90X again and get great results.  So, I can either do another round of P90X or purchase a different program. I really like Tony Horton's style. Surprisingly, he is one of the only video trainers whose voice does not annoy me.  So, I've been looking into Power 90 and Power Half Hour, which are both lead by Tony. These programs have shorter workouts, but similar concepts.  Power Half Hour is what might be best for me. I think I can fit 30 minutes into my daily schedule to workout. :)  Never the less, I have until Saturday to decide and I hope the rest of you will have decided to continue on with your own fitness journey, whatever that may be.  I'll be checking in again on Saturday!
