The Beginning!

I'm going to say this right off the bat. I am HORRIBLE at grammar. BE WARNED! Many of my sentences may be run-ons or fragments. If you don't like it, then don't read it. It's my blog so I'm not having my wife edit it.

The reason for my blog is going to hopefully center around my upcoming workout and diet program. For those of you that don't know, I am starting the P90X workout. My hope was to begin with the Power 90 (P90) workout first and work up to the P90X. That may still happen.

The reason that I am starting this workout is souly selfish. At this point in my life (30yrs. old) I am in the worst shape I have ever been. I am also the heaviest I have ever been (246lbs.). I know that many of you look at me and think that I am not fat, but again this is not about what you think. It's about me. I have never felt so bad about myself and the way I look. I am very good at hiding my weight. Being tall also helps with the overweight issue.

Anyway, enough of my little pitty party. This workout is going to be intense. It's not just a workout though, it's an entire lifestyle change for me. For those of you that know me best you know that I usually eat like crap. Well along with the 12 DVD set comes a nutrition plan. Inside this plan are recipes and grocery lists and portion control charts. It's very detailed. The only problem with it is that almost everything has fruits and vegetables. I don't eat those things. But because I am DETERMINED to do this and make this change I am going to start. I think the best part about this plan is that tells you how and what to eat. It also changes as the workouts change. Again, this is going to be THE hardest part of this program.

The P90X workout program itself is very intense. It's a 90 day program with workouts 6 days a week for an hour each day. It's all about muscle confusion. You work one set of muscles one day and then a couple of weeks later you change to a different set of muscles. They do this to prevent a plateau. It seems to be very effective. I have done some research on this program and have talked to a number of people about it. I'm not going into this blind.

I'm really excited about this and very nervous. My plan is to post my measurements and photos so that you can see my progress (if there is any). Wish me luck!
