In january '08 i made some new years resolutions. Nothing too profound or unique: make more money than the previous year, and get in shape. i've made those resolutions every year for the past 5 years i think. Something about this year though that made me get serious. maybe the high gas prices, bad housing market, you know, the end of the world being near. i knew i had to get serious, with earths short future.

i've gone through my 2 weeks-1 month spurs of going to the gym, dieting, trying to get in shape. only to find myself back on the couch or at mcdonalds a month later. i knew tht i needed a plan, an organized schedule and program to keep me from straying from my goals and keep me accountable for my diet and workout. after some research i thought that p90x would cater to these needs... well, i was right.

I started the program in the last week of january '08 and haven't seen the inside of mcdonalds since. i had set a goal to lose 20lbs by summer. its now the middle of summer and i've lost almost 40lbs. double my original goal! tony drilled into my brain that doing your best is all that you need, and its always enough, that getting in shape and staying health is a lifetime journey. getting in the best possible shape you can be is the real goal. if you "bring it" everyday and push yourself everyday, the results will shatter goals.

right now i'm doing a hybrid fullbody workout routine with p90x and p90x+, and will do that for a few months. then i will repeat a cycle of p90x+. i've built my own gym over the months so i have been experimenting with different routines with some friends and incorperating alot of tony's principles.

in a few months i will post more pictures of myself, hopefully in even better shape than i am now. :P
