P90X Round 3 Week 3

This is the start of week 3. Wow I love P90X and the changes I see in my body every week! Don't get me wrong the scale doesn't always change every week but my muscle gets more defined, cellulite slowing creeping away, and losing inches. I know as a woman it is all about the scale! I struggle with remembering that over all weight loss and fitness is more than just the pounds on the scale!

DID YOU HEAR THAT LADIES! Over all weight loss and fitness is more than just the pounds on the scale!

I have to remind myself of this everyday I get on the scale.

I did hit my goal last week, I said by the end of week 2 I wanted to be back down to pre-vacation/3 week break weight and I am happy to report that goal was accomplished! Next goal is to weigh less than my husband again so I have 3-4 pounds to meet that goal unless he losses more this week. Men loss weight so much faster than women. It is so frustrating!

I know I said it is not just about the scale and it appears that all of my goals are about the scale. Weight is an easy way to measure success not the only way. This is why tracking is so important because tracking helps you measure success as well:

• Track Weight
• Track Measurements
• Track Food
• Track Workouts

When I don't meet the scale goals I look to reflect on the positives from the week how many inches did I lose, how are my clothes fitting, and how do I feel. I look at my workout sheets did I improve this week (maybe by going up in weights, more reps, or overall intensity). These things help keep me going when the pounds aren't coming off. Tracking your workouts are easy on P90X they provide easy pre formatted workout sheets for each phase/week/day of training. On www.teambeachbody.com they provide additional tracking of your measurements, workouts, meal plans, and much more. There are lots of resources for success. All of the tracking pieces help me be successful week after week. Chad and I are finally broken down and buying Apex Bodybugg's. I am going to pick them up today or tomorrow. We got a great deal on 2 off of Craig's List. This will give us exactly how many calories we burn each day. I am very excited to get these and try them out. Just another way for us to track. If you don't know about the bodybugg check it out @ http://www.bodybugg.com/index.php. I will let you guys know how we like them in the upcoming weeks.

Keep Bringing It!
