Project P90X

The Challenge: 90 days of intense workout. The reward: strength, endurance, and smaller clothes.

Trepidation. Anticipation. Excitement. These are a few things I am feeling as I am beginning the challenge of P90X. I want to be in shape. I want to see results. I want to lower my cholesterol, and I want to learn to eat more nutritiously.

I am hoping that knowing it is going to be EXTREMELY hard to complete this workout program will help me to keep on the path to finishing it. I am encouraged to hear that loads of people have been successful in completing this program. So obviously it isn't impossible, right? It is just difficult.

This is the reason I began this blog. I need accountability. I don't know if anyone is reading along, but if you are know that you are helping me to get through this. Because I will have to come back and tell you if I have quit. And I don't want to have to do that :).

I have several things to do before I get can begin. I have to measure and take pictures. Which I will only share IF I see results. Haha. I also need to find the best place to do this. Right now I can't decide if I should set up shop downstairs in our formal living room or if I should do it in my bedroom. Either place I need to sweep/vacuum since I will definitely be spending some quality time on the ground. I also need to read watch the "Bring It" DVD and read through the beginning stages of the nutrition plan. I need to go buy groceries. Lastly and probably most difficultly, I have to get rid of the junk food :(.

So I will be keeping you updated on the progress. I expect the first week I may be too sore to even type, but I will let you know how it goes.

So friends...thanks for beginning this journey with me. I officially start on Monday. I hope that we will all be rejoicing when I finish the program in 3 months.
