My husband and I just got back from a trip to Cancun, Mexico and the surrounding Yucatan Peninsula region. We intended to do our first P90X Recovery week while we were there, but I have to admit, we did not follow-through. I am giving myself up because, well, that is just the way I am. I have to say that we did not just sit around by the pool sipping Margaritas the whole time either.

The first full day we were there, we set out to walk along the beach side of hotel row in Cancun. Four miles later, we got to the end. We walked the entire four miles barefoot in the sand and loved it! We hiked up to a historical monument one day and the other days we spent hours snorkeling along the coral reefs. Then the one thing we did that I am most proud of is we walked across a rope that was about 100 yards long and suspended over the water. (See the picture below) Let me tell you, six months ago I would not have even attempted this thing. For one, I would have been too embarrassed to get up there on a rope with my arms stretched above my head in a bathing suit while dozens of people watched. Secondly, I would not have had the confidence in myself that I could make it five feet, let alone 300 feet! Nevertheless, I did and I made it! Not only did I make it, my husband also made it and we were the only ones who made it all the way across within the hour or so that we watched! It was tough and my arms were screaming when we were done! The trick was in engaging core strength to maintain balance and because off all the arm workouts in ChaLEAN Extreme and the first 30 days of P90X, we were able to hold onto the rope and pull it towards us (like a chin up) so that our feet were still on the bottom rope to walk across. To make things a little more difficult, we had a few teenage boys on the rope behind us rocking the rope trying to knock us off, thinking that it was funny. With focus and strength, we made it and they DIDN’T!! This has to be one of the highlights of my year so far. It brought tears to my eyes that I had the confidence to get up there and the strength (inside and out) to finish it!

I made it all the way!

This second picture was taken during our four-mile beach walk. I have to admit that I had no idea how far I have come with my fitness until I saw this photo. This photo is now pure motivation for me. I can see the definition in my abs and thighs starting to show and I am looking forward to how the next 60 days of P90X will help me become slimmer and more defined. I am jumping for joy in more ways than one!

Jumping for Joy!

We are now home and ready to get back to P90X! We start back tonight. I’ll keep you posted along the way. More happiness and improved health to you!
