In Dec '08, I was 75 lbs overweight and my health was declining but it was not until a hospital visit in Feb '09 that I learned just how bad my health had gotten. I was discharged from the hospital an obese diabetic taking 4 shots of insulin per day and 4 additional drugs for diabetes, cholesterol and hypertension. TODAY all I take is a multivitamin and a fish oil pill....AND I LIKE IT! I still have diabetes, yes still diabetic but I take no pills and NO INSULIN SHOTS! ** Sign up for my free newsletter (upper right hand corner) to learn how you can lose weight or control your diabetes with diet and exercise!

P90X Day 83 & Week 12 Are History!!!


Only 1 “Recovery Week” Remains….


DO NOT PANIC ----the blog will continue! I had one lady who became sooo consumed with despair when she thought the blog would be ending....well just look at her....bless her heart. :)

My "Fitness Quest" will, of course, not end with P90X. I will likely take a week or two off and then begin another session, but as I said, the BLOG WILL CONTINUE!

The weeks have been going by quicker and quicker now that I am near the end. I am guessing it’s because my body is adjusting to the physical activity. Don’t get me wrong…it is still difficult; as you become stronger you should perform more reps or add more weights to your workouts…and I do.

One of the big selling points with P90X is that the workouts change and work different parts of the body daily. Beachbody calls this “muscle confusion”. The main purpose of “muscle confusion” is to prevent the “plateau effect” which can occur if you perform the same or similar exercises over a period of time.

To lose weight or to “get fit”… you need to do two things, it truly is simple…


“Push Play Every Day” and “Bring It!”

…it’s simple, but it’s not easy.


When I say “Push Play” I am talking about playing the P90X workout DVDs but your workout could be ANY exercise or physical activity that stimulates the muscles, your lungs and heart. How much you need to stimulate your lungs and heart depends on your current fitness condition.


Eats – My Meal Plan Yesterday - Still Eating MUCH but it’s all “clean”.
