P90X - Half Way There !!

Reached the 1/2 way point of P90X ... Day 45 ! It's been a pretty good ride so far. I really enjoy the program. I weighed in at 158 this morning, so I have already surpassed my goal of getting to 160 lbs. Even had a couple of people ask me if I had lost weight ... woo hoo !

Looking forward to the second half of this program. Wish I could get Marion to share my enthusiasm :(

P90X 3 weeks completed !

Finished our 3rd week of P90X ... did Kenpo today ... what a workout! I was dripping in sweat. Went off the diet tonight ... rewarded ourselves with a little chicken parm.

Considering we hadn't done any sort of exercise in approx 20 years ... we felt we needed to treat ourselves for working out everyday for the last 3 weeks.

Back at it tomorrow with the recovery week. I am really noticing a difference in my abs ... I can't believe the changes come so quickly. Kudos to Tony Horton and Beachbody Team ... they really have developed a great program !

March 22 - 170 lbs

April 11 - 164 lbs

Motivation

Anyone looking for motivation to continue working out ... here it is. Obviously much better to have muscle than fat . That photo grosses me out. In my 3rd week of P90X and while I haven't lost any weight ( not actually trying to ) I do feel a lot better and I think I am already seeing results. ( not feeling as flabby ). So even though I am still pretty sore I am going to push on through and see where this takes me.

"Pain is just weakness leaving your body"

I saw this quote, "Pain is just weakness leaving your body", and I thought how fitting it is for Marion and I as we are working through P90X. After doing the Legs & Back workout we are both experiencing a lot of weakness leaving our bodies. Two days and numerous Motrin's later and we are still sore. Obviously that is not an area we have exercised in a long long time.

Two weeks down .. and we are still alive !

P90X

OK ... After realizing I am getting seriously old I have decided I need to try one last attempt at getting back in shape. I also realize there is no short cut here, the only way to change is through hard work. So like millions of others I am going to try P90X. Everyone I have talked to said it is brutal. That is what I need ... somebody to kick my ass. Tony Horton you get to be that guy. I am not doing this to lose weight as I am currently at 170 lbs, I just need to get healthy.

So here I go ! Wish me luck !
