Back in High School I was a cyclist and in great shape. Yet, over the years, I abandoned the active lifestyle and became an expert in making excuses instead. I convinced myself that being a husband and father meant that I didn't have time to work out and that watching what I ate was nothing but a burden. I was aware that I was heading down a dangerous path, and friends and family weren't shy of reminding me of it. However, what secretly held me back was a fear of trying to turn ship around and then failing at it. I had tried working out before in the past and attempted several diets but was never successful at achieving my goals, much less turning my life around.

I knew that starting P90X meant that I had to go all in this time. The failed attempts of the past had taught me that if I wasn't in it with all my heart, I wouldn't stand a chance. At the time I wasn't sure exactly how my life had to change but I knew that I had to ready myself for a major lifestyle transformation. I would say that the way P90X has helped me the most then over the coming weeks was to open my eyes to the "how". I learned incredible amounts about nutrition, fitness, muscle and fat tissue and was given the tools to finally achieve my goals. The more I learned from the program's resources, the teambeachbody.com website and forums and my coach, the hungrier for knowledge I became which also sparked my motivation. All of those factors combined formed a force in me that I had never felt before. I think it's the reason why I was able to stick with it and now look forward to continuing this new lifestyle for the rest of my life.
