So my friends, Bh and Vis, are leaving for Texas and we had a going away party for them at Maggiano's. Tonight, I had a feast and it was my last chance of freedom to eat whatever I wanted. Somehow my future p90x journey was a topic of discussion at the dinner table. I was happy to hear words of encouragement as I must have went on and on how great P90x will be. I swear I am a walking infomercial for p90x (as far as my wife is concerned) and I haven't even started.
I received the program about a month ago for my b-day. Well, you must think why I haven't even started. Let's say there was a lot of planning involved. There was a 150 page nutrition guide/manual that I reviewed and took notes on. I also organized a weekly eating schedule. Two days ago I went to the grocery store for 2 1/2 hours trying to purchase appropriate foods for my kitchen while dumping junk food into the trash. I purchased several items on Amazon to get started: 1)Pull up bar 2)Resistance band 3)Body Fat caliper 4)stopwatch 5)Yoga mat and blocks and just a few other things donated from Pe and Ke(Mclean bible church friends). In order to get results I know that I have to be prepared and it wasn't just about starting the program right away.
Tonight, I told everyone the program will be difficult and it would be no easy walk in the park. It is both exciting and nerve-racking to begin this journey, but I feel invigorated and motivated to move forward. My goal is to start eating right and have a great body (hopefully a six pack) at the end. I have two "nutritional experts", Pa and Vir, who can help me with my diet questions. Also Ne, my new "PR coordinator", should be given special thanks who encouraged to me start this blog.
Tomorrow, I will be at Vir and Al place for Brunch and I hope to show my P90x binder to those interested in knowing more about the program. I think I may have a few takers who might want to join me, but I think I am the guinea pig for now:) Wish me luck as I start on Monday 3/2/09.
P.S. I hope my wife gets me an iphone after all this is over. (hint hint)

Kudos for planning first. As a part of your planning process I would also suggest you set some goals (six-pack is not a bad one) that are measurable so you can track your progress. There is no way I would have accomplished one of my goals last year (running a half marathon) without the encouragement of friends and careful planning and training.
ReplyDeleteHey George, thanks for the support and ideas. Surely, I will have some goals in place. I hope I can do a 1/2 marathon one day. Mabey we can do one together once I get into shape.
