It arrives

Uh-oh. Today is the day I was dreading. The day that P90X arrived at the house. I was hoping that it would get lost in the mail. I can't say that I'm super duper excited because I know that it's going to be hard, and I am the LEAST motivated person on earth. I'm lazy and a procrastinator. In just reading about the program with the enclosed information, it seems basic enough and easy to follow. Easy to do? No way Jose. The Nutritional Plan is a bit to be desired as I am not a fan of some of the foods that they have planned out, but am too inexperienced at this point to substitute foods and be on track with what they suggest. I'm wondering if we can substitute our own nutritional plan instead, however, they have everything so mapped out, I'm expecting the answer to be no. I will have to do something, however, because Bob is not a big fan of mushrooms and shrimp and tofu and a few other foods which basically make up the entire menu.

We will probably begin on Monday as we have a few loose ends to tidy up and then begin......oh boy...here we go!

Uh-oh!

So my husband told me today that he has "committed" us to getting in to shape by purchasing P90X. My first thought was "oh shit" because I know some people who have used it and say it's the toughest thing that they have ever done. I must admit that I am excited and scared all in one. I'm not really good at committing to things, but this is something that HAS to be done. I am turning 35 this year and am so unhealthy that I have sleep apnea and a few other things that will eventually be my downfall. I'm worried about being a failure, but I figure, it can't hurt to try. We will see how this turns out.

The journey begins...

After several (okay, many) years of saying "yeah, I need to do something about my weight/shape/health/etc...", I finally made the step (hopefully lasting longer than my other weakly-focused, failed attempts) to do something about it. It's only going to get harder the longer I wait, so in the 2nd half of my 33rd year of life, it's time to do something; and do it big.

I ordered the P90X Extreme Training system today, and added the P90X Plus extended workouts to the order. That makes for a total of about 18 dvd's and other assorted charts and guides (dietary, supplementary, etc) that'll be coming our way. My plan is for my wife and I to actually take this serious and get into shape so we can do and enjoy more in life (and hopefully extend life, too).

Besides, losing weight has to be good for racing, too... nothing like holding my breath trying to squeeze into a car 4 sizes too small, and be weighed down. I'm hoping to take my friend up on her offer to driver her Z06 one day... one day...
