Day 60 Results

To say that I was a little intimidated to do P90x3 was an understatement.  I had done one month of P90x and just didn't finish with the holidays and busyness.  The workout was amazing but I just couldn't commit to the time. (I know, I know--excuses but I'm just being honest.) 

Why was I intimidated? Because I saw people who were die-hard P90xers and I just didn't feel like I could keep up.  And finding out I was pregnant a couple of weeks before the start date?! I kept doubting myself. Like- would I be able to do this? I was the pregnant girl who, when she found out she was pregnant, immediately put my feet up and ate some ice cream.  

WAS.  I was that girl; meaning I wasn't that girl any more.  I had worked really hard before getting pregnant to make the progress I had made. I was working out consistently.  I could do both. I could work out, eat right AND be pregnant.  They were not mutually exclusive.  

My doctor sure thought it wouldn't be a problem. Physically there wasn't anything stopping me.  Mentally, I was my biggest enemy. 

I have to say I have loved this program and HIGHLY recommend it to anyone! It has great modifications.  And what I have seen through my group, is that they have gotten stronger really quickly.  Within the first couple of weeks they were modifying less.  Into the second month, they have increased their weights, done more push-ups, are hardly modifying; if at all anymore! Truly amazing! 

Just a reminder! :) 

So here we are with only 30 days left of this 90 day program.  These past two weeks I have incorporated the 21 Day Fix nutrition portion into my routine.  I am still doing the x3 workouts with weights and without modification.  This last transition week I did notice that the cardio workouts were a little tougher.  I felt out of breath quicker but I know that is just my body changing with the pregnancy.  I am careful to make sure that I don't let my heart rate get too high or too out of breath.  I have a small snack and full glass of water at least 30 minutes before working out.  Have water throughout my workout, and then another full glass after.  I also have a small snack after my workout too, or my lunch if it is that time of day.

I have gained about 3-4 pounds since I began the program.  My legs and arms are continuing to tone.  And honestly, even my core.  Which has ALWAYS been a struggle.  I know that my stomach is really going to start to change as I get farther along (I'm expecting a bump any day!) but I know I am creating muscle memory.
