alright a little hard to tell from the pictures but this week is the start of week 4 of P90X, all I have to say is that I am so proud of not only myself but of Peter for sticking with it! It has definately not been a easy road but I know that when we get through the 90 days we will be very happy.
Not much change from the pictures but I definately feel tighter in the ab area. And not only that but I am feeling MUCH stronger. No longer do I feel fragile! There is still work to be done but I will take the changes and "run" with them!
Here are the changes in measurements
Chest - down 0.5 - PHEW :-) not much more room to go down there :-)
Waist - down 1 inch
Hips - down 2 inches :-)
I couldn't be happier, it has been really hard work and although I'm not seeing a huge drop in the scale the measurments are proof that my body is changing!
This week is what is referred to as "recovery" week. There is alot of Yoga and cardio and much less strength moves, not sure if it's going to really be a "recovery" week per say because Yoga is very hard and we are doing it twice this week!
On Saturday I set out for a run. I ran till I couldn't run anymore. It was rather chilly but I lasted 9km. I would have loved to go further but at about the 5km mark my left hip really started bothering me. I ran through the pain and when I hit home it got worse. I immediately went for long bath and felt a little better, but as the day progressed it got worse. It felt almost as though someone was stabbing me in my leg. I knew that P90X would have to be put away for the day and I needed to just rest. Along with last nights rest I also took today off. By mid afternoon it was feeling alot better, so I know that I will be ok for Yoga on Monday, the stretch may be exactly what I need!
It felt so great to get out there and run. I definatley feel stronger, and like I said if it weren't for the pain I would have ran further! I have NO DOUBTS in my mind that I will be ready for the half marathon in May. If this first month is any indication of the strength that I am gaining, then my friends, nothing is going to stop me from crossing that finish line with flying colors, I can feel it, it's going to be great!
