Transformation Tuesday

6 years ago, my husband bought a program called P90X 💪🏻from my sister Shawna Penney new Beachbody business.

At the time, I was a mom to 3 kids (Baby #4 was was still a dream) and had never even seen an informercial for P90X.

Every morning Shawn Novak would relentlessly wake up at 5:00 am and do his hour long workouts. I couldn't fathom doing this, as I was still being woken multiple times a night feeding number 3. 

Doesn't he look amazing? He has been able to maintain his P90X results over these last 6 years with various Beachbody programs but that program is what got those amazing abs and love for fitness.

As Shawn is preparing to complete another HUGE goal of running 👣his first (and probably only) Chicago Marathon he will enhance his training with doing another round to support his wife as I embark on my goal of doing this program (ps Happy Wedding 💍Anniversary today!!!!)

P90X Fit Test

My journey with P90X 💪🏻begins TODAY (well technically Monday) with the fit test. 

What surprised me was how much flexibility, endurance and strength I lost by taking it easy this summer with my workout.

Before you begin a program (as painful as it is to see that tangible reminder) take your before pics (I'm keeping these a surprise till the end) and measurements so you can see what you 👏🏻ACCOMPLISHED!!

My 90 Day Challenge - NO JUNK

$3.48 is what it takes to continually sabotage my 🍩GOALS. How small of a price to pay for something so large!!

Not even talking physical goals but my desire to feel healthier? Have you ever noticed how sluggish you feel after you pound sugar? I made the decision to get rid of the junk (and yes, I may have eaten my way through the stuff sitting in the house).

I am committed to my no junk challenge (no working out...all you do is share what you eat)! Let me know if you would like to join my 21 day 🍒free group to help you stay accountable!! This is going to be a fantastic combination with my P90X group which begins this morning!!!
