This year for our 5th wedding anniversary, my wife and I took a trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, which has turned into an annual trip for us since getting married in 2003. This year, I was taken back after looking at several pictures taken by one of our travel partners of me near the pool. I was not happy with what I saw in these photos and much worse I was not feeling very well. I had recently been placed on blood pressure medication and was suffering from vertigo, not fun. I came to the realization that at 45 years old, I was not bullet proof and starting to feel the pains of getting older and not being in shape. I knew that my life needed to change and as quickly as I possible could. When the plane hit the ground back in the states, I went to see my doctor about the vertigo and discussed steps I needed to take to get rid of the BP medication. I was told something that seemed so simple, "lose 40 pounds and shed the belly". This sounded a lot easier to hear than to actually do as I had slowing grown back up to 225 lbs which was a far cry from the 189 lbs I weighed when my wife and I got married. I have tried several unnamed fad diets over the years which worked for me on short term basis. But Once I felt I had my weight under control, I would ballon back up over 225 pounds. One night setting in front of the TV I watched the P90X informercial that showed several men my age getting into the best shape of their lives. This inspired me and set the wheels into motion where I now see 190 lbs on the scale in the morning. First, I had to shed some weight to allow me to pass the fit test. Then, I needed to make the commitment to myself that next year where ever we vacation, I will look good on the beach. The name "Beach Body" is really something I want to aspire to as it is one reason I'm going through this transformation. So far, I have lost 35 lbs and have jumped into the extreme workouts provided by P90X. I have already noticed in a short time the changes happening in my body. My blood pressure is down to acceptable levels allowing my doctor to lower my dose and will very soon be removing me from the medication all together. I have a long way to go with my transformation as this is a life style change and not a fad diet. Thank you Tony and Team Beach Body!
