Jet's fitness mission

When I started on this journey in August 2009 it had been 13 years since I would claim I was "in shape". Each year I told myself I'm going to do better, I'm going to get motivated and disciplined and get on a program but I didn't. I'm over 40 and the pounds come on so easily now which effects my daily life. I needed help to do this, but was too embarrassed to ask for it or go to a gym and let others see my size 14 out of shape body.

My husband and I saw the P90x infomercial and I ordered it. At 178 pounds I couldn't do much so I decided to lose some weight first. I eliminated processed foods (flour and sugar) from my diet and dropped 20 pounds in 2 months; then I started my first round of classic. I made it through and immediately did another round of the lean program. In May I started round 3 - classic again this time and this week I will finish round 4 (lean). P90x is a tough workout, but it works! I have lost 20% body fat - going from a body composition of 38% fat to 18% (by skin calipers) this past year losing a total of 50 pounds.

My husband lost 27 pounds in his first round of P90x and is currently in his 2nd round. I don't think I have ever personally seen his abs look better. (at least not since he retired from the USAF).

My goal now is to keep getting stronger and build endurance. By eating right and staying physically active, I know I can do it.

I began on Monday, August 18, 2009 after during a visit to my mother's small town I stepped on her scale to see it read 175!

I have lost 22 pounds since then by cutting out nearly all the white stuff: white flour, white sugar, white rice and white pasta. I have also eliminated most breads - even whole wheat.

Although weight loss is important as I want to reach a healthy weight of 125-135 my overall health, tone and strength will determine the final number. Inches and a firm, strong body is most important to me.

Ideally by Christmas I will be looking and feeling pretty terrific and by March 2010 I will be at my goal. Then it's about staying there cause I never want to go down this road again. It's too tough.

UPDATE: It's February 17, 2010 and I have lost 35 pounds in the past 6 months. I started my second round of P90x a couple Monday's ago and am still hoping to lose another 5 pounds by the end of this month. When I started I was in a 14 jean; now I'm comfortably in an 8 and some 6's. Love the sizes and inches going down and that I am getting stronger. When I started P90x I could only do 10 push-ups on my knees and none on my toes; now I can do 10 on my toes. Still can't do a pull up but I'm working on it.

UPDATE:
I started ROUND 3 of P90x on Monday May 10 and am scheduled to complete it on Saturday, July 31. My latest body composition test my electrical current is 27.1% - finally gets me out of the "unhealthy" range. Skin calipers put me at 19% which when I started skin calipers put me at 38%. Yikes.

I still haven't reached ALL my goals. (I can't do even 1 unassisted pull up and my body fat composition is still too high for longevity.)
