P90X - Day 90!

DONE!  I can't believe I did it!  What a great experience!  I am so happy, and so proud of myself for successfully completing P90X!  I weighed in this morning, and I'm down to 210 lbs!  I lost 30 lbs in 90 days!  Awesome!  I'll post my final body measurments either later today, or early tomorrow.

P90X Yoga X
I like Yoga X, but I don't like the fact that it is over one and half hours long!  Today, I could have cared less... my last workout in P90X... it could have been 3 hours long and I would have done the whole thing... there was no way I was going to give up... I had a hard time doing the Ohms today, as I couldn't wipe the smile from my face!

I felt so good that after Yoga X, I went for a 7 mile hike... afterwards, I treated myself to some pizza and a glass of red wine!  Back on the diet tomorrow!
