When I first started this entire weight-loss journey, my primary focus was to lose weight!! I just wanted to rid myself of all the fat that had been plaguing me for such a long time. (Yes, a very long time!! I revisited my 5th-12th grade pictures yesterday and boy, was I fat!!) << I’ll post those at a later date!! Anyway, yes, I wanted to lose fat. And, not just 10 or 15 pounds like some of my blessed family members. >>>kristie barriger<<< But, a serious amount of FAT!!!!
What I didn’t wasn’t expecting was to gain muscle! I never even thought about the possibility that I would gain some muscle. I was just hoping to be like some of the thin people I went to school with that never had to work out. (So not fair!)
Today was a realization point for me though. (I apparently have many of these.) I was doing a move called Squat Hooks and as I was “hooking” <<horrible term if you ask me…the light shone down on my arms and I could see the beautiful curves of MUSCLE!!! You read it folks, MUSCLE!! My arms are not the muscley beauties that you’d see at the Olympics, but I am on my way!! Once I get rid of the jiggle down below, my arms will be awesome!! (I am so PUMPED to see what they are gonna look like!!)
As I was adoring what once used to be a huge blob, I thought to myself “P90X is really gonna tone those puppies up!” <<ok, well, I didn’t think it in exactly those words, but you understand, right? So, even though the Yoga, Kenpo X and Plyometrics portions are going to be very NOT fun, I am excited to see how my body will be shaped in the long 90 days after I complete Insanity. I am much more motivated to see this official second round of P90X come to completion because it will bring me right up November 25th!! (3 days after Thanksgiving and One month before Christimas!!) Hmm, I wonder what else I can fit into that last month of the year??
Hopefully, by that time, I will be a studly woman…lol. And, I’ll be able to eat food (in moderation) and won’t gain weight because my massive muscles (haha) will burn off those calories. Lol, no. For real though. I am very excited to see this year come to an end because I know I’ve worked hard for the progress I have made thus far and will continue to make. I am determined to change that gruesome picture from last Christmas! (I’ve talked about this before. But, to refresh your memory: my sister got a new camera last year and just HAD to take a picture with me :D Needless to say, the picture of me looked like someone had stuffed me and NOT the turkey!! Lol.)
Well, anyway. If you are still wanting to lose weight, start now!! There’s no time like the present!! Commit yourself to be a better you!! You can do it!! Soon, you will see the muscles!! (You’ll feel them the first day though :D)
