THIS IS IT!

We are days from finishing our journey. 90 days. 3 months. 13 weeks. We did it!!

What excites me is hearing how all of our lives have changed, for the better. It is tough, it has been challenging and we have all modified or busy schedules because of the commitment to getting healthy and in shape. I hope you are all happy with your results and are eager to start enjoying your new bodies and seeing what you can do with them. Take up a sport, play more with your kids, or do the program again!

I am still not sure what I will do. I do know that I will not go back to doing nothing. I feel I have worked too hard to get in shape and feel this good to go back now. I have completed the program twice now since September. I plan on jogging more, taking the family on bike rides, maybe I will mix in resistance training to keep some muscle too. I am toying with the idea of doing P90X Plus which is about 40 minutes per DVD. The bottom line is I will not stop being active!

The new P90X (P90X:MC2) comes out later this year and I plan on taking the challenge. The program has changed my life; I know that sounds over dramatic, but its true! As hard as it is to fit the workouts into my schedule and as often as I dreaded committing that 1 hour a day to working out I love how I feel and I like what I see in the mirror. Another thing that has become more important to me is watching my girls do some of the exercises with us. I love that Sara and I are teaching them at a young age that it is important to take care of yourself, exercise or be active, and eat right. I want my whole family to be healthy. More important than the pictures we take and the inches we shed are the way we have taken care of our bodies and changed to a healthy lifestyle. I hope that is what we all have taken away from this. IT IS NOT A WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM! It is about living a healthy lifestyle. The weight loss is a byproduct of being healthy.

Lastly, congratulations for completing the challenge. It is so easy to quit but we made it!! Please don’t stop being active. Continue living healthy as you can. Enjoy your life indulge from time to time but come back to eating healthy as a rule. I am convinced that with diet and exercise we will all live a better life. Thanks for sticking with us. Let us know how you did.

P.S.
I want to thank Sara for pushing me through this time around. Without your support and encouragement I know I wouldn’t have stayed as disciplined. I now so many people who have failed at this program in one aspect or another because they didn’t have the support of their spouses. I am so proud of you for taking on this challenge with me and working as hard as you have 6 days a week even though things get crazy around the house with our little monkeys. Your results are amazing and I am excited about our active, healthy lifestyle that is ahead of us. I love you.
