"How Do You Do It?"

I get asked this question by people all the time "How do you do it?" Yeh, so I'm a single mom, have a six year old son who is very involved in sports and I have made time for P90X every day for the last 66 days. My answer is always "I MAKE IT HAPPEN". It's what we all have to do if we want to succeed and reach our goals. Don't get me wrong, it's no cakewalk! There have been times that I've done my workout at 9 or 10 at night because that was the only time available during the day. Whatever it takes, just do it.

My entire life I have listened to my mother say "You have a body just like mine and that's just the way it is. You can't change it!" WRONG answer!! I can change it and I am. I have been in pretty good shape most of my life until the last 6 years when Zachary came in to my life. I know what my body is capable of and how I can look. I just have to make the effort and as I said above, MAKE IT HAPPEN!! It's a balancing act but after a while you can master it. ;-)

I started P90X on January 1 knowing that my ultimate goal was to lose 40 lbs. and get back in the sassy clothes that I've had stowed away in my closet for the last few years (size 6-10). Now I'm on my way and it feels great!

So here I am on Day 66, feeling great, full of energy and excited about accomplishing my goal of completing 90 days of P90X. I have 24 days left but guess what?!? It doesn't end there. No way, no how! I'll be taking 2 weeks off to focus on cardio and give my body a break from the every-day workouts but then I'll be back for Round 2! While I'm "breaking" I'm going to continue doing a plyo / upper body / yoga hybrid. Yeh, it's hard but I can't think of anything else that I can do in one hour and burn 800 calories! So, I'm in.

Tonight it's Back & Biceps and ARX for me. Until tomorrow.....
