Today was core. I didn’t like it any better than the first time! But, it is my job to “do my best and forget the rest.” Not all the exercises are impossible, I noticed today that every other one is! Oh well. I don’t have to do core again until the next recovery week. Anyway, since I am behind a day I will be doing Yoga X in the morning on Sunday.
Because it is the END of PHASE 1 (wow!), I took all of my measurements to see where I was at. I don’t think I have an accurate body fat % reading because my son broke my tester. Anyway here is what I came up with:
Day1: End of Phase 1:
Weight 155 147 :)
Body fat % 16 14
Chest 35.5″ 34.5″
Waist 36.5″ 35″
Hips 36″ 35.5″
Rt thigh 25″ 25″
lft thigh 25″ 25″
rt arm 12.5″ 12.5″
lft arm 12″ 12″
Not much of a change with the tape meausre, but I did loose 8 lbs and I can see a difference in my photos. Speaking of photos, here are my week 4 photos:
I realized in earlier photos that I was holding my arms wrong. I wasn’t even making a muscle! Corrected that!
Wow. What a difference from the “before” pictures!

Thanks Barb! It’s shocking for me to look at! It’s been soooo long since I have been even this size!

Hi Erin!
I saw the infomercial and I Binged it. I came across your blog and I will bookmark it
I’m thinking of getting the P90X DVDs as I’m a skinny guy with some self-esteem issues. I’ll be sure to keep up to date on your progress. I might do the blog thing as well, as a way to keep myself motivated. Thanks

Hi Izzy,
thanks for finding me! I have issues with my body, so it was really hard to post pictures of myself. Look at my face in the before pictures! I was not happy! Anyway, because the images are up, I am completely motivated to do this program and stick to the diet so each week I can put better looking pictures up!
Keep stopping by to chat and tell me about how you are doing with your workout! Having others working out with you or even talking about it really helps to keep you going.

I saw your before pics, it’s incredible how far you’ve gotten in 4 weeks time :O

Thanks Izzy!
Hey Izzy, did you decide if you are going to start the P90X?
