MrBarbi: Just do it! I'll be cheering for ya!
If you're feeling lazy, the lean is for ya. It's not as tiring as the regular or the double program. Do it...Do It...DO IT!!! You'll be glad you did.

First, I must confess. I did a search on
"two-year-old gingham catnip mouse" and came up with nothing. haha....So, I typed in "catnip mouse." Saw the picture but still didn't quite get the picture, but I think I got the idea...sorta.
Now....for your question....
Footie: Sigh...well, what happened was I wasn’t eating right in the first place. While I was gaining muscles, I wasn’t losing too much fat. I switched to portion eating which helped and I started to lose inches. Unfortunately, my exercising became irregular, and I slacked off a few weeks here and there towards the end of the program. Now here’s the bad part. I started eating bad again. My aunt came and started to complain about too much leftovers in the fridge, too much food here and there and everywhere. I usually eat very light and sometimes nothing at all in the evening. Ever since she came in August, I’ve been eating dinner and alot too. My sister and I started out as to eating with our aunt to keep her company. Then it became a habit even when she’s not there. During the daytime, I started eating in bigger portions because I wanted to get rid of the food in the fridge so it wouldn’t be so cluttered (my aunt’s complaint). With these habits, I gained weight, which meant I got fatter and heavier. I am now back to where I was when I started the P90X program. I’ve been too embarrassed to admit this. I took a before picture about near midway thinking I’ll have good after pictures anyways. Sadly, I can’t even bear to pictures now. I am just happy that I am finishing the program, and I am ready to move on. Should I do Insanity? Yes? Hehe....why not since I’m a rather crazy person. I’ve just been pulled into a bet where I must reduce my waist to 26 inches (the guy claims I accepted the 25 in. challenge) by Christmas. He’s one SOB with no confidence in getting a 6-pack (his challenge since he claims he has a 4-pack already) and horrible sportsmanship. He’s been bringing fattening food every weekend since the bet started. He said he’s pulling a Hansel on us, meaning he’s fattening us up. At first, we thought he was kidding. But ever since he gained 5 lbs., he’s been upping the food and pushing for us to eat more. So, yeah....he was telling the truth. What an idiot. Frankly, he’s just worried he’d lose to my sister. As for me, he point blank said there’s no way I’m gonna make it. So, that pissed me off. I’ll show him, the little bastard. He dared look down on me and at the same time, trying to make me eat more? By nature, I’m very uncompetitive. If a person beats me in a competition or contest, I’m like, whatever. But this time, I’m motivated. I’m going to start another thread and this time, I’m planning on taking pictures for accountability.
And this is the short version if y’all were to lazy to read the short story above, I’m still fat because I didn't eat right and exercised regularly, so I’m not taking pictures.
