I started P90X on Monday. Wow. Tough stuff! Day one was manageable and there were a ton of exercises that I just wasn't strong enough to do or my gut was too big and got in the way. I have never done so many pushups in my life!
Day 2 has turned into "Day 2, 3, and 4". I was able to do 20 minutes of plyometrics before I felt compelled to take a break. A break which lasted two extra days. I have 40 minutes left and then I can move on tomorrow. Someone please send a drill sergeant to my house and MAKE me do it.
Four days after starting this and my chest hurts and my behind is killing me. This is something I really want to finish.
I began a weight loss challenge 3 weeks ago and will be weighing in tonight so I'll have some very scary numbers to share.

Two Years Have Past?
What a roller coaster my life has seen.
Major car accident
Moved twice
Divorce
Bankruptcy
Basically any of those major life changing situations have been thrown in my direction. I dealt with the issues, and moved on. I filed for divorce in January 2010. I dropped 10 pounds in what seemed like overnight. After the shock and awe wore off, I became more motivated than ever to get in the best shape of my life. For so many years I was told that I couldn't do certain things by my ex. Divorce showed me that I can do what I set my mind to and that I am in control of my own life. Over the course of those 8 months, I signed up for a few 5k races and a 10k race. I knew if I paid for the races before beginning to train, it would increase my motivation. I ended up dropped 40 pounds and reached my short term goal of 199 pounds three days before my divorce was final. Unfortunately, this past year I returned to my old ways and was at my heaviest just a few weeks ago. Ski season is coming and if I don't drop some pounds, I might just end up skiing the mountain in my panties and my ski jacket.
