P90X Women

To Be A P90X

WOMAN!

Over the last two years I've hit some all time HIGHS when it comes to weight loss! I've been down to as low as 132 lbs which is the lowest I've weighed in over 30 years! Being a woman OVER 50, having had 5 children , 3 of which were delivered by c-section and having major surgery for the removal of uterine fibroids more than once, has all done a major job on my body. Yet by the grace of God, I've been able to transform my HEALTH and weight concerns so that I can now be FITNESS focused!

I purchased a new scale to start the New Year off right. It gives you all this great info like your BMI, hydrations level, body fat percentage and what your caloric intake should be to reach our goal weight. Wow, I thought this is AWESOME! Then the other day my daughter looked up what our body fat percentage should be and I wanted to pass out! Imagine my surprise to find out that after losing over 60 pounds and keeping it off for over two years my body fat percentage (over 30%) is on the borderline of obese!!! I knew I was a little flabby from losing all the weight but borderline obese never entered my mind. Needless to say I'm now on a mission to reduce my body fat down to 20 percent and build some muscle.

I'm going to be a P90X WOMAN! I will be using Tony Horton's P90X fitness program to break down my body fat and build muscle to strengthen my body. Realizing that there may be other women approaching 50 or older, that want to lose 50 pounds or more, who are facing similar dilemma and want to work together to make a change, I decided to put together the Fabulously Fit 50 - P90X Women Challenge. We'll make modification as need until we can do the standard exercises. Bottom line, WE WILL do this no matter what! To join me call/text me: (850) 459-9643. Blessings from FAITH!

Technologically Challenged

I know this post might seem strange for the 4th of July, when everything is about Independence Celebrations, but this is what's going on with me today!

This message is about ME! Of course it's suppose to be about a runner training for a race or to encourage those trying to forge on with their exercise plan or HEALTHY Lifestyle change. However, for ME it speaks to my everyday challenge with anything connected with technology. That means my new EVO phone (cell phones in general), my Garmin Forerunner 305, my Sanyo 5X camera, my lap-tops/computers, social media, you name it... I like to attribute it to my mid-life CHANGE going on, lol... It's been 2 weeks since I last posted on this blog because I couldn't log back into it. I could see my blog but I couldn't access the right account, yes I LEARNED that I have multiple accounts. The same thing happened last week with my YouTube account, it appears that every time I couldn't get into an account I just started a new one???  Every day I came to this blog and tried to add a new post and I couldn't until today when I became DETERMINED to push through my technology challenges (I know it doesn't sound like a technology issue but to me it's all the same) and CHANGE ME! I'll be celebrating my INDEPENDENCE from technology challenges. I'm going to MASTER all the gadgets, social media and anything else that presents a perceived CHALLENGE in my life! Have a FABULOUSLY Fit 50, 4th of July! Blessings from FAITH!
