I’m an exec for a small company that works too many hours, doesn’t take
care of my body, and sometimes feels overwhelmed with the day to day
challenges of work and family.

I wasn’t always like this. I’m 5’11” and when I graduated high school I
weighed less than 150lbs. I was very active racing motocross in the summer
and HS football in the winter. After high school I joined the Army. For 8
years I was part of a good workout program where I ran 8 miles a week plus
many daily exercises.

Years after leaving the military I started my own company. Travel, business
meals, socializing, late hours, minimal sleep, and stress started to add the
weight on. In 2002 I sold my company and did a lot of nothing for a while.
More weight went on. I hit 40 around that time as well. One day I looked at
a photo of myself and it hit me. I’m fat. Look at those sausage fingers and
that double or triple chin. I decided I had to lose some weight.

Due to all the (forced) exercise I did in the military, I’m not a real big fan of
exercise today. We have a treadmill and a bowflex, but they just collect dust.
I find it very boring to run looking at the wall. I even added a TV on that wall,
but still can’t get motivated enough to stick with it. With all I have going on
in my life, a demanding job that requires travel, proposals that run late into
the night, personnel issues, blah, blah, blah, the house needing repairs, did I
mention I have 5 kids, I find it very easy to come up with excuses to not work
out. The oldest child has left the nest, but the others are very active in
sports. It’s not uncommon to have 3-5 games on a weekend and practices all
week long. Well you get the picture, not much time for me.

A couple of weeks ago, I caught the ads for P90X with Tony late at night. It
reminded me of some of my military workouts. Having someone to help you
through the rough times and someone pushing you to get in shape just
makes sense. Plus with the elastic resistance traps, I can exercise while on
travel. I purchased the program, read through all the material this week, and
plan to start Monday.

Okay the hardest part is over… I pushed the play button this morning at
5:40am. I have officially started the program!!! Getting up that early is a feat
in its self. It was a tough workout, but I made it through surprisingly well.
This is not going to be easy, but I will get through it!

First 30days went by fast! I only missed two workouts. I can see and feel a
change. Even my daughter made the comment "dad, look at those guns." Of
course this was right after a workout, but it still felt good.

I stuck to the program for 6weeks. I found out my dad had an inoperable
cancer, and my mom has Dementia. Life got real hectic taking my dad to all
of this chemo and radiation treatments. I found many excuses not to work
out. I gained some weight back. I’m starting back again Monday.
