New Beginnings

I am at the beginning of a life changing experience, I am starting to do the exercise program P90X. I have a tendency to give up on things that I start, and I don't want to do that with this. For that reason, I decided that I would try something that will hopefully hold me to be at least a little bit accountable. So for the next 90 days I am going to write about my experiences with the exercises as well as my diet habits.

Day 1
First of all, I thought I was in at least a little bit of shape...oh man was I ever wrong. I am doing the lean program of P90X so day 1 is core synergistics. I wish i could describe to you how horrible I felt while doing this. Five minutes into this i was winded and I thought to myself "crappy I still have an hour left of this!" Despite it all I "stuck" with it. It is a little ridiculous how strong these people are. They are doing 20 or 25 reps of everything and I'm dying at at 5 or 8. I can definitely see how this could get discouraging, especially at the beginning.

After I was done, and dying on the couch I was just thinking about why I started this in the first place. Really it all boils down to being tired of the way I am. I have never been in the best shape but I was at least fit and I never got winded when I was doing things. I love being active and getting out and doing things, going boating, being outside...but, I just don't enjoy those things because I can't get in there like I did before. So despite an "interesting" start to this journey, I'm pretty excited!!!
