P90X-day 30

A few years ago a friend of mine gave me P90X! It is a very difficult home workout system. When I first got it, the workouts were doable but very long and I found that time was my downfall. The shortest workout is 45 minutes, the longest is and hour and a half. Since having Oliver I've had a hard time with my weight. I'd like to blame it on trying to keep my milk supply up, but I'm sure there are other factors as well. About two months ago I was trying to get dressed to go out with Renato, of course nothing fit and I was so down on myself. Renato said, "Well loose weight, or buy new clothes." Of course at the time I was hurt, but then I realized he was right as usual. So I decided to do both, loose weight then buy new clothes!
I figured I would do my best to find a routine for P90X, that was my best bet and getting those new clothes! I bought the app on my phone, great idea. It tracks everything and reminds me daily to workout. I workout after work, or after the kids go to bed. That way no one bothers me. Yes I stay up pretty late at night, but its working!

I'm on day 30! I made it to day 17 before missing a workout, which before I never made it through day 4! I got sick, quite sick so I missed some workouts. Even though I missed them I decided to keep going. So today is day 30, and I figured if I shared this I would have to own up in 30 days!
I have lost 9 pounds, and 7 inches all over my body!
I'm pretty excited by these results considering I had a bad week. 
So hopefully that I'm almost back to full health my next update I'll feel confident enough to show pictures of my body!
