Update on the Heart of Health!

For those of you who thought I died out with this plan, I haven't! :D

I am merely freakishly busy, and I keep forgetting to update this blog!

So, it has been 3 weeks of starting p90x2, and working my tail off on losing weight.

I already feel much more energetic, and ready for anything. In three weeks, I went from barely trudging along in the workouts, to finishing strong. I went from feeling nearly useless to useful. I still chuckle at Tony Horton's (the "leader") jokes.

I am currently in phase one, and I've already seen a physical difference. I have lost 2 inches around my hips, but gained 3 inches around my thighs. That shocked me quite a bit, but it displayed how much muscle I was building. My pants already fit better, and my legs look better in jeans. My upper body, however, stayed the same, but my abs are much more defined. It's very exciting to see results. I've gained 1/2 inches around my neck and upper arms. I weigh the same, but the thing with that is that I've been losing obvious fat, so the muscle is beginning to overpower the fat.

By August 12th, I should be in phase 2. By then, I want to have lost 6lbs, lose 1 1/2 inches around my waist, bust, and hips. I'm not quite as picky about my limbs. Mostly because they're so muscly. They've always been like that. I don't really mind the muscle. Phase 3 should start sometime in the middle of September, and hopefully, I will be down 15lbs, and lost 3-4 inches in all places (again, excluding my limbs). Remember, my overall goal is to be down 30lbs. I'm just setting realistic goals.

I really want to be healthy. I want to look it. I'm just excited it's starting to show.

On August 12th, I will be posting original pictures and updated pictures, so I can display my progress.
