Today was my 31st day on the P90 program. I have lost 6 lbs! While it didn't seem like a lot to me at first, it was when I measured myself that I realized the real progress. I have been noticing that I am thinner, and that my pants fit loser. I have basically lost an inch off of everything! My arms, my thighs, my waist, etc! Pounds wise it isn't as shocking, but it sure was satisfying to see that I really was becoming the slender me I am hoping for! Progress sure makes perseverance easier. I only missed one day of working out during the month (they automatically give you Sundays to rest.) I feel more in control of my body, and I am discovering how I feel after eating. After working out so hard every day, I am less likely to eat something unhealthy (unless it is really yummy!) When I do eat something not quite good, I find myself eating less of it, and eating slowly so I can savor the experience without stuffing myself.
Meanwhile I have also discovered that I have more energy. Exercising wakes me up in the morning, and I find that I get a lot more done, and am happier. I am stronger too, and feel more inclined to play with my children and take them outdoors than I was before. All in all, I am quite happy with my new lifestyle choice.
Tiana is crawling super fast, and beginning to walk around furniture. She is becoming more skilled at standing (She lasted 12 seconds today!) Tiana loves to play with Daniel, and will follow him all over the apartment. He goes between laughing and playing with her, to becoming protective of his toys. We have been implementing more of the Love and Logic techniques, and he is really responding well to them. Our high energy, strong-willed child has been much easier to handle and much more fun to be with. He loves having so many choices, and we love being able to tackle the problem without losing control of ourselves. We seem to be discovering our inner parents during the summer!
