I keep refering to my efforts to lose weight and get fit as 'my journey' or 'adventures'. Because so much of it is trial and error, its a learning experience, its one day at a time, and it's certainly not one single event that happens while you're asleep.
I finished P90X! (Only took me 2 years. I'll explain.) I lost weight, lost pant sizes, got stronger, toned up here and there! I thought that Brazil Butt Lift looked like good ole' girly fun and my squishy thighs could use a little pick-me-up! So thats what I did. And it is fun! And challenging, and bum-burning! But I quickly relized that for me, with my current body and what I am trying to achieve, I chose what I wanted, not what I NEEDED. Ah, the eternal struggle between want and need.
So at the risk of looking (probably only to me) like a quitter, I had to admit to myself that for a girl who is trying to get max results before moving from dreary Seattle to Sunny South Texas in 8 weeks.... I was gonna need to swallow my pride and change directions... NOW!
So, Insanity it is! My best friend started Insanity 3 weeks ago and even though I see her regularly I have noticed that she is already setting the fat ON FIRE! Allow me to jump right on that! So much of our struggle to lose weight is all in our head. "I have to start on Monday. It has to be the 1st of the month. I can't do those. I don't like that. Well I already started bla bla bla so I'm just gonna finish this and then....". No. Lets get over our selves here.... if what you're doing is not working for you then walk away... do what needs to be done, and get on with it already! The days will move on with or without you and you can't get yesterday back! After hitting the church of P90X religiously... I learned from Tony that if what you're doing is too easy then stop, get what you need to git r done, and get back to it!! Don't over think it. Don't beat yourself up. If your weights were too light you wouldn't stop the DVD, go back to the beginning and start all over with the heavier set! You get what you need and get back to work!
I'll still use Brazil Butt Lift once a week and when the time is right, it will be my full-time focus. But for now, there is much work to do! So heres to not letting my ego get in my way, to growing emotionally, and to smaller pants! BRING IT!
