No pain, no gain!
Yes that is my fitness “motto” … just when I am close to giving up I repeat “no pain, no gain” in my head over and over until I am done.
Cheesy? Perhaps, but it motivates me!
I wanted to share that I made it over the 30 day hump on p90x! I am thrilled because I bought this set in 2009 and used it until day 4 (yoga) and gave up!
Well guess what??? I have done 4 sets of yoga since then and I am hating it less and less each time. Why is it so difficult for me?
1. I am NOT flexible
2. The calmness of it drives me insane! I am use to my mind and body going at a faster speed than yogax.
3. I didn’ t think yoga was a workout UNTIL I fully committed!
After 30 days I will report that I have seen some incredible results! I am finally achieving what I have been working on for the last 4 years! TONING. Who would have thought that lifting weights would do that to a person’s body? 
It only proves what fitness gurus have been telling us for years. Your body gets used to workouts and you plateau!
So day 1 to day 30. I have NOT lost weight, but I have lost a few inches here and there. That is totally what I was looking for, some definition! I have pictures, but I am not ready to share YET or maybe ever lol.
NUTRITION:
On another note I am having some difficulty with my nutrition. Doing 2 a days (p90x in the AM and running in the PM) has me STARVING and I can’t get my body to adjust to the change. I find myself hungry every 2-3 hours!
I am on the hunt for a good eating plan, but nothing yet.
However, I will share what my favorite snack is! Without the egg 
This is from My Fit Foods, but I of course make it on my own! & might I add way cheaper!
REWARDS:
I told myself after 100 workouts I would treat myself to something and I am looking forward to getting myself some new shoes. 59 workouts to go! After 4 pairs of Mizunos… I am totally dissing the Mizunos and going for some Newtons!
I feel the same way about yoga. I am trying to make it a part of my normal fitness routine, but I get so bored! I don’t feel like I’m working out because I don’t sweat like I do when I do cardio..and I am not flexible. My boyfriend is a hockey goalie (meaning he is really flexible) so he’s so good a yoga…so I feel kind of dumb
I felt ” silly” doing the poses at first because they are in fact so silly lol but after wearing my heart monitor I realized it is workout! I burned @300 calories during the routine. I personally like doing yoga alone because then my silly poses won’t be so silly looking ha! my flexibility has improved I will say that. So don’t give up! Make it your motivation to improve!
