I am a 39 year old High School English Teacher and Volleyball coach; needless to say, for the last 9 years I have NOT been the ideal role model of physical fitness. I have been making excuse after excuse to keep myself from feeling fit and healthy and I am ready for change. Why now, you ask? Hmmm...maybe it is the fact that I can no longer hit a volleyball the way I did 10 years ago, maybe it is the fact that I can no longer fit into ANY of the clothes (that I have an insane amount of love for) in my closet, or maybe it's just plain pride - or the fact that I have none. No pride in myself, no pride in my athletic ability, no pride in my sad attempt at being a role model for my volleyball girls. I have made a commitment to begin P90X tomorrow and am ready to work my rear off to become a strong, fit, healthy woman. Day 1 starts tomorrow and I will post everyday after my workouts. Some workouts will be in the morning, some in the afternoon, and some at night as I have a truly unpredictable schedule, but (mark my words - counselor) I will complete the workouts daily. In the past, I have had a huge problem with commitment, I start....I quit. I am hoping that because I have chosen to document everything here I will not be a quitter, by having others read my progress and journaling I hope to find encouragement and helpful tips to be successful on this journey.

So.....away we go!!:auto:
 
Welcome! There are so many supportive people on here that will help you through your progress. I hope you have fun on this journey! :)
 
Getting ready to begin Day 1 of P90X. I have been anticipating this for a few weeks, as I have been setting up the basement work out area and waiting for the product to be shipped to my home.
I will post after my workout.
This forum posting is still really new for me, so I hope I did this right by just adding a reply to my original thread???

Off to get fit and healthy...I won't lie...I'm a little scared. Don't want to fail again.
 
P90X is awesome - I know a few people who have done it and the consensus seems to be that it's challenging, and that you will definitely see results. Keep up the good work!
 
Many thanks for all the kind words of encouragement. I am really looking forward to journaling dailly to keep myself accountable and track my progress. I will also be taking my 'before" photos tonight so I can see visilbe results at the 30, 60, and 90 day marks.

I just finished my first workout of P90X and feel great!! I was able to complete about 1/2 of the reps that Tony and his crew did, but I kept moving, to keep my heart rate up, until the next excercise began. I focused on my form more than the number of reps I could complete because, let me tell you, I want push ups to become my buddy...right now push ups are from the devil! I will not focus on what I can't do, but what I just did. I just completed day one of transforming my body into being stonger and healthier.


Current body weight = 189.2 BMI = 28.70
Goal body weight - 145 BMI = 19.5

One day at a time. :auto:
 
Gret work, well done getting started on your training program.

It won't take long for your pushups to improve :)

We can all make amazing changes to our bodies if we keep focused and working hard.
