Postpartum P90X!

Today marks the beginning of my 90 day journey to postpartum weightloss and fitness! Presley is now 5 weeks old and I feel ready to begin this intense workout routine. I will be blogging over the next 90 days to help keep myself honest and to hopefully show some dramatic changes in my postpartum body! I am going to show it all, flabby tummy and everything, because it isn't going to last long! My goals over the next 90 days include the following:

1. Lose 30 lbs (I know, that is over 2lbs a week, but keep in mind that I have plenty of leftover baby weight to shed... including some poundage leftover from my pregnancy with my now 20 month old)

2. Feel toned & strong

3. Finish with less than 20% body fat
4. Get back to being able to run 5 miles

5. Feel primed and ready for my next endurance challenge, I will decide what that is later, but a few ideas are setting a PR in a marathon or completing my first Half Ironman. We shall see!

So here we go! Feel free to check back often on my progress!
Here are my before photos... they aren't pretty, but l know that in 90 days these photos will make me feel proud, so I'm not afraid to share them!!

  2. Best of luck with the p90x. I did it before I fell pregnant. It is not an easy workout but it is fun. I also loved the leg exercises especially when it burnt. I'm not a yoga fan at all and found the p90x yoga especially tiresome. I haven't started exercising yet but I think I will start by going to gym and then after a couple of months mix it up with p90x again.

  3. I found your blog from babycenter. My husband and I are doing p90x too. It is awesome. We started on 7/26 and were doing great but then we got sick and had to stop for a few days. I am restarting today and i'm excited. I think you are awesome for blogging about it and also for being way braver then me and putting pre p90x pics up. :) We took some photos but i don't even like looking at them! Oh and i've got like 11 lbs to get back to prepregnancy but 20 more than that to get to where i was before i had son#1 in jan 09. ugh! I'm going to be blog stalking you from now on to see your progress and to motivate myself! Good luck!
