P90X Complete ... Sort of ...

I didn't really feel like completing what I did for the past few days of my P90X workouts. I sure did them, they were tough, but I persevered, I just wasn't motivated to get online and write. But here I am, on Monday following my completion of P90X Classic and of course ... I have a few bullet points!

*It works. My main goal all along was to look better physically (I can admit that!), and when the pictures are compared, I think I lost some fat and gained muscle mass.
*I am more flexible than when I wrestled in high school.
*I feel my overall fitness is better than it has been in a long, long time. I can't run a marathon like I did just before I began this program a little more than three months ago, but I can stick with my kids and their activities better than ever!
*I no longer have plantar fasciitis like I did when I was running.
*I feel better wearing my polo shirts and t-shirts.
*I don't look away from myself when I see myself in the mirror with my shirt off.
*I understand the concept of why the workouts work more than I did at the beginning. I especially understand the recovery week. Half way through it, I feel I'm losing fitness, but once the Monday comes along and I hit the weights and Ab Ripper X again, I can feel and even see the boost to my physique ... cool!
*I think I'm gonna pick up and begin the series all over again, but not be so fastidious if I miss a workout of two because of other obligations. It's all about lifetime changes anyway!

I'll be posting my final pictures one at a time again, so see if you can see the changes too!
