Pictures and Stuff!

Well, as I shared, I have completed the P90X-3 Challenge.  I am amazed that I actually did it.  It just absolutely blows my mind!  I know that I am stronger and able to do more now than I ever thought possible.  I would be the first to tell you that there was not a huge weight loss but the amount of inches lost and the strength gained are ALL WORTH the hard work that P90X-3 requires! So I shared my details, and some have ask for a picture.  I had my hubby snap it before we headed to church this morning.  The dress I have on was purchased last year.  It was a little snug in places but I still wore it.  I slid into it this morning and could NOT believe it!!!!!  It was loose!!!!  PERFECTION!  I was so excited! 
Here's your picture proof that hard work pays off!!!!!!  

Ready for the Next Challenge!!!!!

ALMOST!

I am blown away.  I have completed 80 days!!!!!!  I have only 10 more days.  It doesn't seem real right now.  I wasn't sure I would get to this point but I HAVE!!!!  It has required a lot from me.  Even if it is only 30 minutes, do not underestimate it!!!!  I have learned so much about me.  All of the "I can" list that I posted before.  The fact that I am increasing weights is just MIND BLOWING for me!

I'm ready for the next Challenge Group!  I'm ready to be confident in my swimsuit this year.  I'm one that typically will run around with a T-shirt over my swimsuit.  NOT THIS YEAR!!!  We live 20 minutes from the beach and we have a pool in our complex.  I WILL be confident in my swimsuit this year!!!!!!!  Want to get in on a group?  Let me know!  I can get you linked with a Coach!  It's FREE!!!!!!

Cooking!!!! YUMMY!!

Most of us want to serve our family fantastic food, comfort food, healthy food, and of course something that TASTE GOOD!!!!  I live with 2 VERY picky eaters.  I could be a vegetarian very easily.  I do, however, love my seafood.  Hubby on the other hand.....well......if it is classified as a vegetable or even a hint of green.....NOT HAVING IT!!!!  He LOVES meat!!!!!  Kaleb on the other hand......PB&J, chips, ketchup, yogurt, mandarin oranges, Nutella, strawberries.  That's about it!  It makes food prep a bit tricky. 

I know that Spring is TOMORROW!!!!!  (But we still have snow on the ground).  I have prepared this recipe several times and it is REALLY good!!!!!  It's from BEACHBODY and just wonderful!  I do love spicy food, so I do add a little more zing to ours.  Hubby loves it.  Kaleb....not so much.  Give it a try and let me know what you think!!!!!

Clean Eating,
Coach Pam

P.S.---this is dinner tonight!!!!!

P90X3--Almost done!!!!!

I can not believe I am 3 weeks out from finishing this Challenge Group.  Talk about AMAZING!!!!!!! 
I have kicked
I have done push-ups
I have done pull-ups
I have done chin-ups
I have lifted weights
I have jumped over tape
I have done Yoga
I have done MMX
I have done a Warrior Work Out
I have done Burpees
I have done MORE than I EVER though possible!!!!!!!!!! 

It has been amazing!  That is the only word I know to use!!!!  I can do push-ups!!!!!  NO KNEES!!!!!!  I can even do pull-ups and chin-ups on the machine at the gym (still using weight assist). Burpees have always been something I have avoided because I had no arm strength.  Not anymore!!!!!!!   I was always the one who had ZERO arm strength.  Now, into P90X3, I CAN DO all of these upper body workouts!  I have definition in my arms that has NEVER been there before!  I LOVE IT!!!! 

I have just a few more weeks.  I can't wait!  I'm excited!  I'm ready!  New Adventure is around the bend!!!!!!
