What if I can't make it through the whole workout?

You want to lose weight, you have a picture perfect view of yourself..the way you want to look after you complete your 90 day plan...You're going to look AMAZING, you're going to get new clothes, be more CONFIDENT, HAPPIER, and live life to it's FULLEST, right?! This motivates you to buy P90X, for example, and you know it WILL WORK...it HAS TO, right? You've seen SO MANY transformation pictures and videos and you know friends doing it so as soon as you get it, you pop it in! You heard lots of rumors that it's a VERY HARD workout program and so many people have failed...but you won't! You have that DREAM, that VISION of looking AMAZING and FINALLY shedding those pounds after SO MANY FAILED ATTEMPTS! You make it through the warmup and you think to yourself.."ahh, this isn't so bad"...but then you make it 25 minutes into the workout program and you're feeling pretty defeated, right...you just feel like quitting, stopping...you can't do this..all these negative emotions and thoughts RUSH into your mind..you think to yourself that all the other people who told you it was hard were right and the people who got results got lucky..or have something that you don't ...but you know what...everything you are thinking and telling yourself now in this moment of defeat is WRONG. You CAN get the results you want because you have the power WITHIN. Those people and your friends who have completed the 90 days of the workout program aren't lucky and they aren't any better than you...they have THREE MAGICAL SECRETS that I'm about to share with you...

#1 They BELIEVED in themselves/the program and NEVER gave up!
#2 They had support from friends, family, and/or a coach and a challenge group.
#3 They were CONSISTENT with eating healthy and pushing play.

I want to make ONE thing clear to you...you should NEVER feel defeated, like you're less than anyone else..because EVERYONE, I don't care WHO you have in mind, EVERYONE started just like you..it was their BELIEF in themselves that got them through it all. If you feel like you can't make it through the workout or you suck at it...let me tell you that it's OKAY to pause the DVD. I still do it on days that I'm not feeling up to par. Honestly, it doesn't matter how long it takes you to catch your breath, just pause it and get back into it. You need to think of something POWERFUL that motivates you...why are you miserable with your weight? Use that reason to PUSH YOURSELF through.

I have to confess, I HATE anything cardio because I SUCK at it, so Plyometrics is HARD for me. I pause that DVD all the time even though he gives 30 second breaks...they're totally not enough for me..and you know what, I still got AMAZING RESULTS...you know what..in my first month of doing P90X (and I sucked by the way) I went from a size 12 pants to a size 8 <<<< ARE YOU HEARING THIS PEOPLE?! I was like OMG and of course the results fueled me to complete the full 90 day program. Of course NOT EVERYONE will get the same results. I truly believe I got amazing results in the first 30 days because

#1 I did NOT give up even if I couldn't keep up with the people on the DVD.
#2 I followed the meal plan that comes with the program 95% of the time and allowed myself 1 cheat meal per week on date night which was Friday nights after 2 weeks into the program.
#3 I paused the tape whenever I needed a break and got back into it
#4 I looked at P90X as a challenge, everyone said it was a hard workout program and I wanted to prove to everyone that a girl can do it and look amazing.
#5 I was MOTIVATED EMOTIONALLY, I wanted to feel BEAUTIFUL, look BEAUTIFUL, and SHINE when I walked in the room...I was tired of trying to hide and being a wallflower.

I'd LOVE to hear what motivates you: COMMENT BELOW! Don't hesitate to contact me, I would love to help you achieve the goals you want by motivating you!

Measuring Results

Set goals:

Before starting any workout program or nutrition plan, make sure to set small goals for yourself. The smaller the goal, the more achievable it will be. Think about if you surpass your goal, how unstoppable and motivated you will be! Set goals every 2 weeks to every 30 days because sometimes it takes a while for your body to produce evidence that what you're doing is actually working. An example of a small goal would be losing 2 pounds in 2 weeks and losing 6 pounds in 30 days. If you surpass this goal, know that what you're doing is working, PUSH HARDER and stay on this track! If you haven't met your goal, you need to fix your nutrition (keep it clean) and start bringing it in your workouts..I want you to FEEL IT when you finish your reps. Now, losing weight shouldn't be your biggest concern to start..why? Well because sometimes your body doesn't respond that way because everyone is different. Some bodies begin building muscle first and then concentrate on losing weight. Stick to making pant/dress size goals, that should be your main focus. The scale lies, the mirror lies, and sometimes your eyes play tricks on you..but your clothes will always tell the truth and so will measuring tapes.


Whip out the measuring tape! 

I cannot stress how important it is to take measurements before, during, and after any type of workout program. You need to do this, even though you might be embarrassed, but you need to know what kind of goals to work toward and to know how far you've come since day 1. Through my own personal experience taking measurements is MY OWN PROOF that what I'm doing actually works..because sometimes..especially during that time of the month when we all get bloated, we fail to see our results.

Q: When shouldn't you take measurements?
A: I find the best time NOT to take measurements is the week before and during your period. This is because of bloating and water retention and doing so will give you extra inches...we don't want that!!

Q: When should you take measurements?
A: The best time to take measurements is before starting the workout program. If it's a 90 day program I strongly suggest you take measurements every two weeks to keep you accountable and motivated, even though most programs suggest every 30 days. Overall, once the program is completed, focus on the every 30 day measurements. The every two week thing was just to keep you going and excited to see your results.

Q: Where should I measure?
A: It's best to measure both arms, thighs, hips, chest, and waist. See chart below:

Stepping on the scale!

It's great to have a weight goal in mind, but it should not be what you focus on. If you didn't know this already, the number on the scale fluctuates from day to day and hour to hour..Please don't be discouraged if the number isn't what you'd hoped it would be. No one will ever know your number, only you..so DON'T let it bother you. The scales LIES. In the morning you tend to be your lightest and as the day goes on you get heavier..this is because of the food and water you've put into your body throughout the day.

Q: So, when SHOULD you step on the scale?
A: I find the best times to step on the scale are in the morning before you eat or drink anything.

Q: When is it a bad time to step on the scale?
A: Don't ever step on the scale before you go to bed, after you drank a lot of water, after a big meal or after eating in general. (Women) Don't step on the scale the week before or during your period.. the scale could read anywhere from 5-10 lbs. heavier than you actually are!

Q: Should I be wearing clothes or shoes?
A: Shoes are a NO, clothes should be kept at a minimum and if you can, don't wear any at all.
