LORI: Almost half-way there! Workouts are going great. Feel good. Feel strong. Eating is still hard. Really, do I have to eat only fruits, veggies, and tasteless food (i.e. no fat or salt) to get a flat belly??? I really resent that! Really loving my Vita-Mix for smoothies, though! (It's really worth the investment IMO!) How's that for random thoughts?

I've started 3/4!

Claire - Well, its been a while since anyone has posted last. I am now in the second week of doing the 3/4 phase of p90 and this week has been better than last week so far. Last week wasn't horrible, but definitely harder than 1/2! More intense and longer. I'm glad I did the 1/2 for the full 30 days. Speaking of the 30 days, we did our measurements and pictures at the 30 day (more like 34 day) mark, and everyone did GREAT!! I will post mine in the next couple of days so you can check the progress. We may wait till the end to post pictures. For me, it was great motivation to keep on going. I feel like I have to wear a belt with everything now.

Our homeschool group, Classical Conversations, has a motto: "Discipline is small things done daily". I am finding this to be so true with p90. Getting up to do the workouts, eating breakfast, choosing the right foods for the rest of the day is much more manageable when you do it for that day, and don't focus on 90 days in a row. I have been doing this daily now for about 6 weeks, and we are already about halfway done!

My new goal for the end of the 90 days is to be able to do 10 man-style decline pushups at the beginning of the sculpt workout. I can struggle through about 6 right now. I'm off to bed so I can get up in the morning!
