OK, so I am ready to commit for 90 days through the holidays to improve my fitness and health. I know from past experience in all areas of life that if you want to achieve anything, you have to have goals. Not only do you need to have goals, but if you don't write them down, you will never achieve them. So here is my 90- day plan starting today.
Starting weight - 206 pounds (weighed in on 16 Oct 11)
90-Day Goals

Decrease body fat percentage from (TBD) to (TBD)

Weigh-in Sunday morning
Make adjustments to nutrition as needed weekly
Daily Goals
Complete 1 scheduled workout
Log my workout in WOWY

Note: I will be doing the Lean version of P90X this round, focusing on improving my core strength and losing excess body fat.

To your health and fitness,

Keep fighting the good fight!
Howdy everyone!
Today is another day 1 of my fitness journey. Over the past several months, I have been doing the Power 90 boot camp about 4 or 5 days a week. I have gotten through a little health issue where the treatment really beat my body down and it took about 5 weeks to recover from it.
My energy levels were next to zero and I was in a good amount of pain and pretty sick through it all. Even the 30 minute workouts in P90 were extremely difficult but now I feel much better and am ready to get back into my routine of working out 6 days a week using P90X as my primary workout program. I will also be drinking Chocolate Shakeology since it is so healthy and taste great. I know it is the best nutrition I can get into my body so I am thankful for it.
Yesterday, I weighed in at 206 pounds even. At my lowest level, I was at 193 pounds so I have gained 13 pounds during the treatment and on the medication my doctor prescribed. I can feel the difference in my low energy levels not being able to work out consistently. I also know how I will feel once I get back into the routine of exercising 6 days a week and eating better.
As with any new workout program, it will take me at least 3 weeks to adjust to the program. It is well known that habits are formed in 21 days. That includes bad habits as well as good ones. So, I know I will have to be really focused on pushing play every day for the first 3 weeks to get into the routine and re-establish that good habit of working out. Since I drink Shakeology every day, that is already a solid healthy habit for me and will help ensure I am getting healthy nutrition into my body. Plus, it keeps my chocolate cravings in check since I am a chocoholic. :)
I set my schedule up in the Team Beachbody WOWY Super Gym and will be doing the "lean" version of the P90X program this round. My goal is to lose body fat and try to retain as much lean muscle as possible. Today, 17 Oct 11 is my Day 1 scheduled workout. The 90-day program will take me to 14 Jan 2012. Now, I don't have to worry about making a New Year's resulution to lose weight and get back in shape like so many do every year in January only to fall back into old routines and not see their goals reached. By 1 January, I will be 3/4 of the way through my round and will be in a lot better shape than I am today so I won't need to set a new resolution.
I am excited about getting started, dreading how sore I will be this week, LOL, but looking forward to improving my overall health, fitness and quality of life! I know for a fact that you can change your life for the better, all you have to do is decide you want it, commit to some sort of daily exercise program, and if you follow through with it, you will succed in reaching your goals. I will be blogging my weekly progress on Sundays so feel free to follow this blog to see how I do.
One thing I can promise, I won't be perfect, but I will improve as I move forward! To your continued health and fitness!
