I've been struggling with my weight for about 8 years now. As a child, teen and young adult I was thin…actually skinny until my mid 20’s. In my mid 20’s I put on a few pounds but it simply made me curvy and more appealing to men. So I never had an issue with weight and could eat whatever I wanted with no second thoughts. However as the years went by and I hit the greater side of 30, I began to put on weight again and my activity level declined. I used to be physically active a LONG time ago but as an adult over 30, my activity level has been in a steady and rapid decline. I hate working out and my eating habits are horrible. If it's a food loaded with fat, carbs, and sugars then I will most likely love it.

When I 1st began putting on weight I did the Body for Life program and was moderately successful because I had workout partners by way of a couple co-workers that did the program with me. We would compare stories, goals, and achievements during the 12 weeks of the program. We encouraged one another and can attest to the fact that there is great benefit in the fitness buddy system. Then life threw in some obstacles and the gym became a distant memory as well as the 6 small meals a day. Our company closed it’s doors and my fitness buddies and I went our separate ways. Since then (6 years ago), I’ve not been motivated enough to stick to any program or diet and my weight and health have been a reflection of my lack of commitment and motivation. I’ve always had a high resting heart rate, but it seems to have gotten greater. In addition, I am now borderline hypertensive. Diabetes also runs in my family and I’m afraid I will be at risk of developing this disease if I’m not careful.

I suffer from insomnia and I’ve been seeing the P90x DVD infomercial for years. I finally got the courage (I say courage because it looks intimidating) to order the series. Today is August 13, 2009 and it just arrived. I plan to begin the workouts Monday, august 17. I’m a year and 2 months shy of my 40th birthday and I’d like to have a body worthy of showing off on the beach for my 40th, be able to jog 3 miles non-stop, as well as say good-bye to hypertension. I’ve got an entire year to work on these goals so….Wish Me Luck!!!!
