Obstacles come into our path to force us to GROW… to make us APPRECIATE what we DO have… They give us perspective and empathy to relate to others and most importantly, they strengthen our FAITH that something BETTER lies ahead. Emily is just ONE story of many from the Bombshell Dynasty who looked at her life and decided that she deserved BETTER than she had been settling for! She has OFFICIALLY unveiled her INNER BOMBSHELL to the rest of the WORLD and there is NO STOPPING her now!!! There is NOTHING more INSPIRING than seeing someone realize the beauty that was inside them ALL ALONG!!! We are so proud of you Emily!
So I am sure you are all asking what it is that she ate and did to achieve these results besides P90X, here is what she had to say!

Emily is super inspiring! This is only 120 days!

I had a chocolate shakeology with 2 cups of cold coffee (with espresso) for breakfast each morning, a muscle milk light for mid-morning snack, something for lunch like grilled chicken breast and steamed veggies (broccoli or green beans etc), a P90X protein bar for mid afternoon snack, and a dinner similar to lunch with a slightly larger portion and usually one good carb like a sweet potato or a small portion of Dreamfields reduced carb whole wheat pasta and homemade tomato sauce. I also would make a giant pot of homemade minestrone or pasta fagioli soup and freeze containers of it to have for a quick lunch or dinner if I didn’t have time to cook something he…althy. If the family ordered pizza or chinese or had pasta for dinner, I would either have some of that soup or a shake with a banana in it or one of the other recipes with a little more calories than my breakfast shake. I would adjust my calorie intake based on how I was feeling, with the different phases of the P90X program sometimes I needed more or less. If I was feeling tired or wasted I would increase how much I was eating or add another good carb at lunch time etc. I also had my rule of 6 – I didn’t eat anything over 6 grams of sugar or 6 grams of fat, except olive oil or canola oil in my cooking.

I have P90x and really love it! Just have never finished much of it. I always go a little too hard at the beginning and can't walk by day 3. Was curious what P90x program you and Emily (from the picture) do? Was it the classic or lean? I'm up in the air which one and just want the best results possible! I have a 3 year old and almost 1 year old and can barely keep up most days. Need to better my life for their life!
@Alyssa Sterner, we both did the lean version. I liked that it had that extra day of cardio in there. Plus I was new to lifting and wanted to ease myself into it. My second round of P90X I did the classic version.
And I know what you mean about wanting to better yourself! It's hard to do it alone especially with little ones at home! If you need the support you can always send me a friend request on FB @melaniejmitro and I can help you out! We have lots of support groups to keep you motivated!!!
I was never the one to ever start and end a program but my own challenge group helped a ton!
