Well, I embark on this challenge in 3 days. Monday is the day!! I am excited, but really nervous. I am terrified that I won't be able to do the workouts or live by the p90x prescribed diet. I am, however, going to try my best and do what I can. I consider myself physically fit, but doubt is creeping into my head. Especially, after I got out pull-up bar in the mail yesterday. I can do 3 unassisted pull-ups...I thought I would be able to do more, but man, those are hard! My goal is 10 by the end of this!
My hubby and I are going to do this challenge together and we are both super excited. I am not sure if he is as excited about the diet, but I know he can do it. It actually isn't much of a diet. In fact, I will be eating about 600 more calories than I would normally eat. It is all about choosing the right foods and loading up on protein (which terrifies me as I have been living vegetarian for the past few months).
I am coming into this having done jillianmicheals.com for about 4 months. I wasn't religious with the diet or the exercising and that is why I am here. I am up about 5 lbs in the last couple of months (gained about 5 before I miscarried and have fluctuated since I stopped breastfeeding). I blame Texas, and the horrible eating habits I have adopted including stress/emotional eating and eating too much sugar! Luckily, with the first phase of this diet, sugar and carbs are very limited. I hope this will offer my body a bit of a detox from all the damage I have done recently.
Once I finish this 90 days (should take us right up to Christmas!) I am going to start training for a half marathon in March! Hopefully, this will be a good stepping stone to get me going.
I will update tomorrow with the fitness test results, body measurements (yep I'm putting it all out there), and day 1 pictures! Thanks for all of your support on this 90 day journey!

I am here following you, you can do it, I know the past few months have been really hard on you but hopefully hubby will be home a bit more and you 2 can rock this challenge together.
ReplyDeleteYay for you! I actually got the P90X program a few months ago and have used the videos throughout my general work-outs but have not yet committed myself 100% to it because of all the running I've been having to do. After my next 180 mile relay race next month though, I'm gonna do it! I'm excited to hear how it goes for you and will be there to help support! We can do it! :)
