I have weighed the same amount for 13 years! Other than the short lived months when I lost a few pounds for my wedding and the 9 months I gained weight pregnant. So not happy! My next appointment isn't until October. If I step on the scale and it hasn't gone down- the doc is going down! I spend my day chasing a very active 3 year old. That has to count for something...Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14485549646393512089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071542331530983118.post-13316162946907988652011-09-03T19:57:09.675-04:002011-09-03T19:57:09.675-04:00I understand your pain about the weight thing, but...I understand your pain about the weight thing, but I am a weenie and will not even attempt PX90. Unless I was going on Survivor or Amazing Race or something. Otherwise, I go to the gym and do the elliptical. It's the snacking thing that gets me. <br />I think you can do it. Just suck up the pain for the first few days and soldier on! Ibuprofen may help too :) And before and after photos too.

"I think I can" is a great motivational quote.<br /><br />My hardset task was trying to get an Aerospace Engineering degree. Yes, I did switch majors a year and half from finishing. Mainly because I wanted to be in good health by the end of college and I wanted a decent GPA so I could get a job.<br /><br />After struggling for three and half years, I was pretty sure I could have finished in the program. But reality intruded. The guys with 4.0 GPAs weren't getting jobs. Many of my friends were concerned about by health because I wasn't eating or sleeping much. I lost 10 pounds that last semester I was in the program. (And at the time, I couldn't afford to lose the weight.) My roommate used to stop by my history class just so she could see me. I was never home long enough for us to say hi.<br /><br />So while I didn't complete the degree, I never felt like I couldn't do it. I kept pushing through but decided good health and job after college should take precedence over being stubborn about finishing the degree on principle.<br /><br /><br />My current test is dealing with my kids and writing. They may have won this summer as I've done no writing since June...but we've had fun. So that should count for something.Beth Caudillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07822034586213938181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071542331530983118.post-13491500001687791782011-08-23T11:31:37.857-04:002011-08-23T11:31:37.857-04:00An animal just about sums it up, Dasia!

Wow, I didn't realize there even was a P90 - but I have to admit it would be tempting to boot that 'x' to the curb, lol.<br /><br />Kudos to you for sticking it out for your Honours year. Nine months of torture sounds a lot worse that the 90 days I'm going through! Way to stick it out :)<br /><br />Thanks so much for dropping by!Erin Knightleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09368123673970225476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071542331530983118.post-43821881446590223852011-08-23T11:23:12.999-04:002011-08-23T11:23:12.999-04:00Tony Horton is an animal!

I've never been fit enough to do P90x though, more power to you for attempting it the second time around :)<br /><br />I think the hardest thing I've done is finish my Honours year at university. For nine months I felt it was absolutely impossible, but a combination of guilt and hard-headedness got me through. I suppose it was a good thing, I'd have really regretted quitting!<br /><br />Good luck with shaking the Writer's Butt xD<br /><br /><a href="http://dasiahasablog.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Dasia has a blog!</a>Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566791637480857887noreply@blogger.com
