Hi All,
Well, I am two weeks into my P90X adventure. I have been diligent to press play every morning at 5am and to work hard for each session. It is rough some days, but I always feel good after getting through it!
After the first week, I weighed myself and I was down 3 pounds! I thought, "thats great, if I do 3 lbs a week, then I will meet my weight loss goal easily". Then the end of week two came and I weighed myself again. NO CHANGE!!! At first it was a bit of a let down, but then I took my measurements again. :)
In two weeks I had taken 1.25" off my waist, 1" off my hips, 1.5" off my chest and 1" off each thigh!! So what I learned is to not be tied to the scale. I am reshaping my body a little at a time and weight is not the total picture.
Muscle weighs more than Fat, so I am more determined than ever to stay on the Nutrition Plan and keep pressing play every day. As always, I hope my journey will encourage others to eat right and get fit!!

P90X Kickoff
Hi All,
For those of you who are unaware, I started P90X on September 13, 2010 and I have completed the first 5 days.
My whole mindset behind the desire to take on a workout like P90X is to be Healthy. Honestly I got tired of always being tired. I am 43 lbs over weight and carrying around all that extra poundage is a big drain. I just do not have the energy that I once had. I have tried diets in the past, but they may work for a while, but the weight always seemed to come back. So finally, I said to myself, "Self, it is time to change your lifestyle in a dramatic positive way, not only for yourself, but for your family."
So my P90X journey has begun and I will be blogging about it throughout. P90X for me a start to a new lifestyle of healthy eating and exercise. Yes, I know it will not be easy and at times painful, but I am dedicated to pressing the play button every day and following the nutrition plan as closely as I can.
If there is any way I can motivate or inspire other to do the same, better yet.
