Three Weeks In

Yesterday, I began my third week of P90X2 and I have to say that I'm feeling a lot stronger.  I'm doing a lot better with the stability ball and am trying to improve in my reps each week.  There are still some areas where I am completing modified moves, such as push ups from the floor vs. stability/medicine ball, but I am improving in each area and that's the point, right?  I figure I'm going to need at least another week or two to feel accomplished in each workout video.  So, I've decided that my first phase will probably last 4-5 weeks.  To get the most out of the nutrition plan I will follow the Phase I diet for at least 5 weeks.  With the meal plan getting easier for me each week, this shouldn't be too difficult.

Last week I dedicated my posts to recipes and menu ideas, which I hope were found to be helpful.  This week, I will focus on finding helpful articles and inspirational blogs to help keep the motivation alive.  Some of you might have expected to see greater results after the first two weeks, and if you are like me, were probably disappointed when the scale did not measure up to its expectations.  One thing to remember is that this program is designed to give results in 90 days.  So, naturally a two-week fix is not going to happen.  However, stay with it and stay committed and you will not be disappointed.  I look forward to taking day 30 pictures when I will have visual proof of 30 days of hard work and discipline.

Interestingly, I've discovered a blog by Tony Horton's sister, who also happens to be at the same stage as me in the program.  In keeping true to my promise of posting links to inspirational blogs here is the first one of the week.
