Day 70

Week 9, Day 4 X3 Yoga done. Today is Day 60 of P90X3. I have pics, weight and measurements to do for today. Yoga felt really good to do today. I was a little sore after yesterday's workout doing 122 pushups during The Challenge and a total of 250 pushups for the day. I think that when I do another round of P90X and maybe even during the 21 Day Fix, which will be my next thing to do, I want to do yoga more frequently maybe daily or at least 3 days a week.

So today is day 60 and my put up or shut up day. I have to take pictures, weigh and do measurements. 30 days ago on day 30 my weight was 320 and today it was 310. 10 pounds in 3 weeks not dramatic, but constant. Now that is total weight loss and does not take into account the muscle building that has taken place. Obviously I didn't build 20lbs of muscle, but I did build some or I would not have gone up in my pushup count that I do daily or have greater leg strength in the core/cardio and leg workouts as well. My measurements changed slightly with arms and legs increasing, my waist and hips remained the same and my chest and neck also increased as well. The waist and hip measurements might be off from the last time, but either way I have had to add a hole in my belt and now it needs to be moved in another inch on the belt again. My jeans are definitely looser as well, but I am not buying any new clothes until I hit the 270 lb mark or lower.

My weight was better and some of the measurements were better, but how I look is also another thing to look at, so let's see what my pics look like from day 1 to day 60. So here they are:

Most might look at them and think what's the big deal and you would be right I know others probably have lost more weight in less time. I am generally only working out 30 minutes a day and eating close to 2000 cals per day. I could eat a little less and workout a little more. I am, however, following the program to as close to what it calls for as I can. I know my ability to keep up with the workout is not as good as others and some moves I can't do and anything involving jumping is never done by me, but I am working and I am losing weight and I can see the abdominal changes in my pictures if others can't. You cant see the muscle that I have gained, but it will eventually show as more fat is burned off. I didn't become obese in 90 days and I will not get out of it in 90 days, but I can be out of that range this year or in 6 more months even. I just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other every day.

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it.

I can change my obesity, health and fitness level. What I can't change is how you have to do it. Hard work, perseverance and consistency with your nutrition and exercise habits. What you do today will be your legacy tomorrow.
