P90X Helped Me Break The 22% Body Fat Barrier!



Today I am STOKED!





I knew I may have some good stats but I was thrilled, yes thrilled to break the 22% body fat barrier! I can't wait to look like this again, GO T. GO!

I think with diet being cleaner and the variety of the P90X workout I got it DONE!


Most of you know I struggle with diet so much, that's hard at this point in my life because I have done so many things with my fitness levels. At the age of 30 was my last great level of fitness, and I did it and completed the goals I set. Now this year, my goal like last year was to get to 19-20% body fat and get ripped. I had many set backs last year, and injuries (my shoulder which I still battle) and personal setbacks, that goal sadly was not completed.


So this year I was on "MISSION POSSIBLE"


I got a trainer/nutritionist Karen Finch http://fitnessbeginswithyou.com/

and set my path and goals with her. Even though I have not met her expectations YET, I am going to. Ok, I'm kinda hard headed and I like to eat things that are not so clean, chocolate, skinny cows, lattes and lays chips so she has a constant battle of love and encouragement with me. Its a battle T is willing to WIN. Oh I forgot to mention, I am competitive that's why I enjoy pushing myself so the battle of the clean pantry continues.


5K run tomorrow for a Grantie City Ill church.


I took a practice run of 4 miles last night and if you don't know a 5K is 3.1 miles and I did it in a 10 minute mile. My normal pace is about 10-11 minute mile but the run I do is incline up, decline back so I gain on the down side of the last 2 miles. My last race was at 9.33 per mile, lets hope for nice cool morning weather.


Here is my workout today.
