Well, where do I start? I watched the P90X infomercial about a week ago and it really hit some chords. I've tried many different workout regimes, but I could never stay focused and continue with them even though at times I did see results. P90X is perfect for me because I can stay at home and utilize all the support that Beachbody offers to keep me on track. I love the fact that P90X has Well, where do I start? I watched the P90X infomercial about a week ago and it really hit some chords. I've tried many different workout regimes, but I could never stay focused and continue with them even though at times I did see results. P90X is perfect for me because I can stay at home and utilize all the support that Beachbody offers to keep me on track. I love the fact that P90X has a variety of workouts designed to keep your body growing! Recently, a lot has happened in my life that has degraded my lifestyle and health. In January my condo flooded and I haven't been able to afford to fix it, so it's been in a state of repair since then. In February, my family was shocked to learn that my Grandmother was diagnosed with bone cancer and she was told that she has only two years left. Also, near the end of February, due to economic difficulties I was laid-off from Starbucks and have been on unemployment since. Then to make matters worse in March my Grandfather was sent to the hospital for a seizure and later admitted to a nursing home, where he just died this past Saturday. You might think that this is bad enough but I just learned this past Sunday that a really good friend of mine has colon cancer and has been given three months to live and he has opted for the "Death with Dignity" law which allows individuals with less than six months to live to receive assisted suicide in Washington State. All these events have just beat me up to a pulp and not a day goes by that I feel somewhat depressed and unmotivated to do anything. I even started smoking again after six months of quitting! Although this year has progressed negatively over the past few months, things have been looking up and I recently have received a store management job offer and I have been interviewing for a great volunteer opportunity to help youth. I also see P90X as a calling to help motivate me to be my best. I think back to when I was younger! I was a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, Field & Track athlete, and I was in the Army for 8 years! I had a lot of energy and looked good but now I've put on weight, lost energy and just cough from smoking! I don't have kids, but I have two nieces that jump and run all over me, but I have to tell them that Uncle Aaron needs rest because I just run out of breath and start to sweat after only five minutes! I NEED to do this! I NEED to "Bring it on"!

Well, I'm just a few days from starting day 1. My ultimate goal is to gain muscle and lose weight (Don't most people :) ) I'm 6'6" tall and being that tall gives some certain challenges, but I'm dedicated to overcome them! I hope that in one year (April 2010) that I'll look better than I did when I was in the Army back in 1999.
UPDATE 5/17/09 Well, I'm excited to say that things have been looking up recently! I met two of my three goals for the past two weeks (workout every day & eat 6 times a day healthy). I still need to quit smoking though! I do feel more energetic and my fitness level has increased drastically! I also just started my new job after over 2 months of unemployment! I haven't reached 30 days yet, so I'll wait on measurements until then. On the downside my grandmother (not the one with cancer) had a stroke and has been in the hospital for two weeks now, so just another thing to stress me out! Fortunately, she has been doing better lately! I'm going to keep "bringing it"!
