P90X2 Day 30

Took my pictures a day early due to me being out of town tomorrow. I made it through December without missing a day. :) So far P90X2 has been very different. A lot of balance and core exercises. I was skeptical at first when I started that this wasn't as hard but I definately was challenged the more I challenged myself to do better on my worksheets than the weeks before. I completed 4 weeks of Foundation, I am currently on a recovery week and will begin Strength when I get back from being out of town this week, which seems more like P90X with the Chest, Back, Shoulders, Arms workouts. I found myself improving my balance significantly over the 4 weeks and improved greatly in my yoga flexibility and balance which I even impressed myself on moves I didn't think I would ever be able to do I can do. Here is what hasn't worked for me: My diet. Starting in December it is so hard to do with all this food you are surrounded with. I struggled. I was pleased that I didn't gain any weight but today I weigh 145.5, I believe I could have weighed a lot less if it wasn't for the stress of the holidays, the rush of working in retail and eating when you can. I was disappointed in myself in regards to how I coped with stress and food. I am looking forward to a new month where I need to maintain my calorie intake to be no more than 1300 as I am only maintaining from 1300-1600. Above 1600 I will gain weight. It can be so frustrating. I didn't count calories via the app on the phone and may not need to but I am definately counting in my head of when I can and can not eat more. I have only 5.5lbs before I meet my goal that I set for myself on Feb 20th of last year. I am hoping I can meet that goal by then as it will be my 1 year beachbody anniversary and it a big accomplishment of mine. I look forward to seeing what the next 30 days of workouts will be like and hopefully the pounds will continue to come off. I donated 80% of my clothes which were too big and I couldn't fit into. I tried on every piece of clothing in my closet last week and felt great that nothing was too small but all too big. The last thing is I find that I have loose skin on my legs and stomach, its kind of weird but I guess it will tighten over time??? Well here are my pictures, I don't look like I just woke up so that is an improvement over last time. ;P.
