I made it though the holidays, parties, and a week long vacation. I never skipped a workout, until the vacation where I took 5 days off. This will extend my project into February, so the final 90 day pics won't be taken until around Feburary 8th.
Workouts: I am still following the P90X classic plan. The only changes I have made are to skip the 90 minutes Yoga session and do one of the other harder cardio workouts. I have also gotten sick of push ups so I added some chest presses and flys in lieu of push ups.
When I started this I was using mostly 8 lb weights with all the exercises, now I am up to 15 lbs and occasionally 20 lbs.
Nutrition: December is a tough month to stick to anything. So I didn't do much. In fact, with all the festivities I probably had enough alcohol to hinder my results. I also went through a week of sleep deprivation while on vacation, so I was drinking WAY more caffeinated soda than I would ever normally drink.
I added a recovery drink right after my workouts. I am not sure what it does exactly. Dan had bought it months ago, so figured it couldn't hurt. I also tried a few packets of shakeology, but other than that, I ate and drank normally with the addition of more soda and alcohol. Not a great month, but the project isn't over...

| Yup, I could kick some ass now. |
 |
| Ew! I still can't get over the change in 2 months. Especially to my face. |
 |
| It's hard not to smile now. |
 |
| Doesn't look like much has changed, but it has. |
 |
| Much better... |
 |
| Bye-bye saggy post baby belly! |
 |
| I am also getting taller... or I couldn't figure out how to shrink this picture to match the others. |
Some other accomplishments these past 30 days:
- I managed to not catch the cold that both my kids had!
- My hair is now back to blond, even at the roots.
- Dan and I had this conversation a few days ago:
- Dan: "You are dressing sophisticated these days."
- Me: "What does that mean?"
- Dan: "You don't dress like you are 18 any more, but you don't dress like a Mom either. You dress really nice, like a professional."
- Me - recalling in October when he said I dressed like a Mom. New style: Nailed it!
