My resolution in 2013 was to lose the fifteen pounds that I gained in 2012. So, yea, I suck at resolutions and that didn't happen.
I didn't reach my goal of losing fifteen pounds. I did well for awhile and dropped ten pounds. Over the summer I was carefree lazy and gained back about five pounds. I'm awesome at gaining and losing five pounds over and over again. Anyone else see a pattern here?
From October to December I completed Shaun T's Insanity program. Which was exactly as described. INSANE. I loved it, I hated it. I laughed, I celebrated and I cried before, during and after most workouts. It was HARD. I still can't believe that I actually completed it. And not to be totally unmotivating, but I feel scarred for life now. Hahaha...If someone mentions a PLYO movement I flinch!! Okay, maybe not that bad. I did purchase the second part to Insanity (The Asylum) but I am not quite ready to take that plunge just yet. While I didn't lose many pounds on the program, I did shred a lot of inches! I saw lot of changes in my body that I haven't seen with any other fitness or workout activity that I tackled before.
Yesterday, I started Beach Body's newest program P90X3, and I'm pretty excited to take this 90-Day Challenge. I'm already loving the variety of workouts. Within the 90-Days you get a huge variety of resistance workouts, power workouts, cardio workouts and core/flexibility and balance workouts. All within a 30-35 minute workout. It so much more doable and a hell of a lot less daunting than waking up at 4:30-5 am to face INSANE cardio. I am really looking forward to the next 88-days and seeing my physique improve!
I love how Beach Body gives you an absolute money back guarantee, but if you stick with the program you are absolutely going to see results! All it takes is you: If you can make that committment you can do anything. I'm not just saying that to motivate you, but also to motivate myself. When I slack off, I regress and backtrack. Moving forward is the only way to go!
Thanks for helping me be accountable!!
