So it arrived. Faster than i imagined. Day 30. 20lb loss in total since Feb, this includes weight loss pre-P90. I'm super chuffed.
Dealing with placement at the moment so haven't had a chance to blog. Nurse training is intense hard work, as is P90X so at least the mindset remains current throughout.
I hate failure. I just don't do it.
Have pressed play EVERY day. Never skipped a workout always attempted bonus rounds. Trooper.
This keeps me motivated! Keep at IT :)
I can't wait to see how the next 30 days turn out. Time to increase things. Step up a level.....
I be one independent determined gal that's for sure!

Week 4 / Recovery
I haven't posted for a while. Back on placement. 4 weeks to push, then Uni is done for this year.
However I have made it to WEEK 4...madness.
Decided to switch my routine and workout on an evening, as I haven't got much time to do it in the mornings at the moment.
Just finished Yoga. I bloody love it. Really feeling the moves now and improvements come each time. Makes me feel great.
Am I the only person who does yoga mainly with eyes closed or am I just way into the zone?!!
So anyway, workouts are now completed post 7pm ... About 90 mins after I've eaten my daily meal. Worked well this evening!!
Wanna say a HUGE massive congrats to my dear friend Michael for completing his first round of P90X and starting on his 2nd today! Let's kick it baby yeah!!!
Events to follow Day 30 weigh in. Day 30 pics. Exciting!!!!

Yogaaaa GO!!
So it was my second yoga session this morning and WOW did I see an improvement or WHAT!
I could hold the various poses, was rather steady ... Ok I on occasion tumble but yeah I feel so good. I actually really enjoy Yoga!
Loving this new phase in my life. I'm feeling confident and know that by day 90 I'll be much fitter, stronger and hopefully weigh a little less than when i started.
I've really changed. People have noticed. Some don't like it but hey my moto is " Haters Gon' Hate"
Keep pushing! You'll succeed in the end :)

10lb ... WHAT?
So I had a sneaky early weigh-in today. 10lb loss??!!! WOW.
Feeling pretty good about things at the moment which only motivates me to push harder and dig deep every single time I train.
Been in contact with my beachbody coach today had a good old chat...very motivating and supportive lady. Thanks Janet, was good to hear from you :)
Really am enjoying P90X and all it has offered me. I've found a new fire inside me and there ain't nobody gon' put it out!!!!
So ... If you fancy making a change. DO IT. It'll be the best decision you'll ever make I can assure you.
Another bonus. I finished Uni for the year today :) Happy Days.

Week 2 ...
It's here and yet we are almost half way through it. How fast is it going? Day 10 tomorrow! 80 to go!
Ok, I'm a bit pissed. Got an exam tomorrow, getting up at 5 so I can train, and then cram in some last minute reading before the drive down the death road (M54) into Uni for a prompt 10am start.
I actually don't mind the exam. It's fairly straight forward. It's the bloody drive there.
Anyway, as far as P90X is going I BLOODY LOVE IT!!
It feels like Tony is actually in the room with me, telling me to push harder. It feels like if I stop at any point he's gonna beast me. Love it.
So yeah. So far so good. I sure am feeling better each and every day and look forward to day 30 weigh-in and progress pics. Should be a pretty good day. Well I hope it will be.
BADASS!!

Week One :)
So it's here, the end of week 1.
I am still aching from previous workouts. Today is rest day, feel like I should do at least something?
I'll see how I feel later.
Right now I'm enjoying the extra time under my duvet ... It's bliss.
I really think that the first week of P90X is the hardest. Getting the motivation up, remaining committed everyday even with sore 0aching muscles.
I've got my end goal in my mind. It's not about having the ultimate beach body for me, it's about being comfortable in my skin, feeling confident about being me.
That's all for today.

Motivated!!
Feeling so motivated and committed so making a blog post just incase I ever don't feel like doing my workouts.
Loving the support from new friends ... Also love chatting to Michael about it too, i know he adores me so much when i go on and on and on and on and on .....Been speaking to P90X'ers from the US and UK and everyone seems to love it.One of the most important factors for me is that my other half also supports me, and encourages me. He can't wait to see my day 30 pics and weigh-in ... Going to be cool to see even a tiny change!!
So ... In short. DO NOT GIVE UP, DO NOT GIVE IN. Think about how things will be in 12 months time. Think about your health. hink about the role model you are becoming to your kids. They'll follow in your footsteps. I think that's motivation enough for any parent wanting to change their unhealthy lifestyle.
I know some reading may think hang on, you are on .... what? Day 6!! Calm down. Seriously this is changing my life. No jokes.
I'm ready, I'm moving forward.
Over and out....for now ;)

Yoga!!!
Frustration isn't the word.
Just finished a 90 minute Yoga Session. Some parts were good, others really had me. I was so hacked off at having to look at the screen. U can't exactly keep the mind clear.
I am not as flexible as I once was. That's a fact. Ended up modifying some of the movements, but hey at least I attempted them.
Looking forward to progressing with this little challenge, along with the other P90 workouts.
It's like with anything I guess. Practice makes perfect. Keep working at it, and eventually it will all come together.
Also finished today with Ab Ripper X, thought I needed to give the abs a little sprinkle of pain too.
Anyway. This girl got Uni work to do.
Laters :)

P90X Begins :)
Started my journey on 30th April.
P90X is a home workout series which takes you through a 90 day programme intended to either get you 'ripped' or for you to shed fat/loose weight.
I am using it for the latter at the moment. I won't reveal my starting weight but I want to drop 2 maybe 3 stone ... Hell I may even push for 4!!!
In all seriousness I'll be happy when I'm toned and feeling good about myself, and I don't for one minute think its going to be easy. You really do have to work to achieve in life.
Day 1 was intense, but I pushed through and managed the entire workout.
Day 2 again hit me hard but I kicked it right in the ass.....the same with Day 3.
Will go into more detail about the individual workouts when I've completed a few weeks on the programme. I'm still learning about it all at the moment.
Working out first thing in the morning works well for me. Get up. Get it done. Bring it. Smash it. Suck it up!
Hitting Day 4 tomorrow, and I am so looking forward to learning Yoga.
Tony Horton is so freakin' hot too, so I kinda enjoy putting the DVD's on each morning.
Big thanks for the inspiration and motivation to get into this goes to my stud buddy Michael :) Love ya!!
Till next time .....
