Hello fellow P90Xers!! I am 39 years old and a father of four boys and husband to a beautiful woman named Kerstin. I have been an active person my whole life. I played sports all through school and after. I have spent most of my adult life fit and active. I was even a professional trainer for a little while. Well, after some major life changes, including a divorce and career change, something happened to me. I have to say first that when I met my wife Kerstin, I was in the best shape of my life, but not for long. Over the past three years, my body, energy, moods and just overall health started heading down hill fast. I've never been this out of shape and I don't like it. I work out and I do all the things that "used" to work for me, but not anymore. I just keep losing strength, energy and the body that I used to be proud of. I'm sure that many, many men my age experience the same thing, but for me, for once in my life I couldn't conquer this. I was sitting around this year thinking that my 40th birthday is coming up and started to question myself. I'm happy right, i asked myself. I mean who could complain? I have a great career that supports my family with everything that they need. I have absolutely wonderful kids and a wife that is a wonderful woman and mother. I look around me and everything/everyone in my life is doing great. But, inside, I'm not happy with myself and that bugs the crap out of me. I’ve turned into someone that I that I didn't want to become. I've turned into that guy that I've spent countless hours teaching others not to be. So then I thought a little deeper and decided that if I'm not happy then how can I expect to be the man that my family needs me to be. What I'm providing for them just isn't enough. In the past couple of years we have all seen how a life can be changed in the blink of an eye. You could lose it all tomorrow and all you can really provide for your family that no one can ever take away is "yourself". It is for this reason that I reached out and started looking for something to do that would make me change for the better. Having an extensive background in the field of nutrition and sports (or so I thought), I am skeptical to say the least at every add you see out there for the new and improved way to get fit quick. Here one day and gone the next. When it comes down to it, the only way is a full blown commitment to a better way of life. hard work and discipline is the only way. The more and more that I researched, the one program that is still standing out there is P90x. I read and watched all the success stories and spoke to some people that had purchased the program. Many of them quit without ever letting the magic happen. Days from greatness, just up and quit claiming that it was too much of a pain in the ass. It was too hard. The eating, preparing, mental toughness and time restrictions. BS...all excuses. Well, once I heard this, I knew this was the program for me. I want something that is going to make me EARN it. Make OWN my results. I am two days into the program and my wife is doing it with me. We're following the whole program and diet to the T. I'm so proud of her for doing this with me. She is the typeof person that doesn't need to really do anything and she looks great all the time. I know that she sees how important it is to me and is committed to helping me see it through. I'll keep you posted and I look forward to seeing each and every one of you on the other side.

thanks,

James
