What is My Motivation

Hi All,

I am in my fourth week of P90X, almost done with the first Phase of the program.  It has been a challenge to get up a 5AM every day to bring it, but I feel great when I do!  I have not missed a single workout.

I have had some people ask me "What motivates you to do it?".  My answer can be summed up in one word "FAMILY".  I come from a family with a long history of heart disease.  My father died at an early age of heart failure and I am built just like him.  I desire to be around for a long time to provide for and protect my family. So I must make wise choices.

So going into P90X, I asked my kids and my wife to color in posters and then draw a picture of  their favorite thing to do with Dad.  Those posters have become my inspiration wall where I work out.  Every time I press play I see the reason why I need to work hard, Right there on the wall.  I can no longer be passive in life, I must TAKE LIFE ON!! No one is going to do it for me, I must choose.
