We're only 23 but in God-awful shape. Wheezing up a flight of stairs kind of stuff. We'll be making our first trip down to Bonnaroo (if you don't know what that is, Google it and then make the trip down...we need a bigger caravan!) It's imperative that we be able to take our shirts off and 'wave them around our heads like helicopters' without causing anyone to go blind or puke at the above mentioned hippy festival. We're about 2 weeks into P90X and I think the most important lesson I've learned so far is the one you talk about above. I was driving myself nuts weighing myself within about 3 minutes of waking up every morning. Then sometimes at lunch. Then after dinner. After I got out of the shower. After I worked out. Before I went to bed. It just kept going from 140 to 138. Back and forth. I'd have dreams about it. So this week, we're trying something new. Just like you suggested, I weighed myself on Monday morning. And I haven't looked at the scale since. I can't wait until I get to tomorrow morning...but even if I haven't lost a pound...I feel better. More fit. Less flabby. I even sprouted two (TWO!!) semi-almost abs about two days ago. I've never had any stomach definition AT ALL. Imagine my shock and awe. All after a week and a half of diet and excercise. Who knew. This blog is amazing. You guys crack me up and I love how there's info in here specifically for women...it's answered a lot of questions I've had. Thanks for the information and the inspiration! (I'll be sure to let you know when I find abs #3 and 4. They can't be far behind!)
