P90X Phase III
May 8, 2008
This week, I started Phase III of P90X after spending one too many weeks on week 8 (recovery). He he?
I was starting to get discouraged because the scale isn’t budging AT ALL. Which is why week 8 took 2 weeks, no motivation.
Then I took my 8 week photos and compared them to my Day 1 photos and HOLY CRAP.
I’m almost tempted to share them with you so you’ll know what I mean, but I’m not posting nearly nude photos of Fat Me on the internet.
There’s significant change, especially in my upper body. And, much to my great relief, my lower abdomen region does appear to be shrinking. Yay!!!
I flipped through my progress charts, too, and was pretty impressed with myself. On Day 1, I did 64 push ups on my knees. On Day 60 (Monday!), I did 120 push ups on my toes.
That’s pretty hard core, y’all.
I have 4 more weeks and TONS of motivation to finish strong, so maybe at Day 90, I’ll have gotten used to the idea of sharing Fat Me with the internet and will post photos just so I can have an excuse to show off Skinny Me. . .

That’s awesome! I am also on a pending hotness campaign, although it’s moving at a slower rate than yours because it’s hard to find physical, actual time to do situps, pushups, and all the rest. Still, even at a third of your pace in a month I noticed some tiny improvements. I’m hoping that by day 120 I can report on actual hotness.

You look great, I’m very inspired.
I just started this week with P90x. I am curious as to which level you picked, classic, doubles or lean?! I too feel ok now with how I look but want things toner and slimmed down a bit more, but the before pictures for me were brutal.
I hope I’m picking the right level, either way it’s kickin’ my booty and I’ve worked out my whole life.
