I am a police dispatcher and have numerous hobbies like knitting and spinning which (with the exception of disc golf) are all pretty sedentary. I recently turned 31 and decided I needed to quit waiting to suddenly wake up fit and healthy one day. So here goes, the new strong healthy me, one day at a time. I originally got on here almost 1 yr ago, lost about 10+ lbs and then sprained my ankle and fell back into old junk eating lazy-sit on the couch-type habits. I realized, yet again, that I was at a place where I was so unhappy with my body that it was seeping into every other part of my life. I took advantage of an opportunity to do P90X on day with some firefighters, there was no way I was going to let myself wuss out in front of them, I challenged myself and did as many reps that I could that day. The next step was to re-examine my diet and I started making slow changes. I'm currently working on increasing my workouts to more than 1 every 2 weeks but at the same time being kind to myself if I don't work out, instead of starting that cycle where you feel guilt and just keep kicking yourself and next thing you know that dvd has been sitting dusty for 2 mos. I'm hoping to rediscover the support I need from other TBB folks and make these changes permanent.

I caught myself in the mirror the other day (I don't have any full length mirrors up in my house) and I was surprised at my actual size. I think we've all been in that place where you pretend its just the lighting, or the outfit, or the teeny person you're standing with...but I apparently hadn't really LOOKED at my body HONESTLY in far too long. I know I put the weight on slowly and I'll take it off slowly, we all have moments where we want instant results even though working hard for something gives it more value. I know that when I"m done in this journey for a healthier, fitter me, I may not match that image in my head but it will still be better than where I am now. I'm looking forward to discovering what being fit feels like, its probably been 10 years since I felt fit and like an active person.

I'm always up for new buddies to share those rough times from old cravings or new sore muscles from P90X. Feel free to send a message. Oh, and Bring It while you're pressing play!
