For those who haven't seen me in years, I'm not that bean-pole I used to be ... but I'm also not really overweight or out-of-shape either. To be honest, this is probably about the best shape of my life I've ever been in ... but I can't see my abs any more and that bothers me enough to make a BIG commitment.
I believe I owe it to myself (at least once in my life) to seriously "work out" instead of just being active by playing basketball and wrestling with the kids and so on. I have not really "lifted weights" since high school. I can't tell you the last time I did a pull up or a sit-up. (I've had some push-up wars with my older two sons so I'm doing all right in that regard). I have talked about doing this since several years ago when I first hit my 30's ... but I wasn't really commited enough. I think I am now.
I will commit to posting my before, during, and after pictures at one of the following checkpoints:
#1. Upon completion of the entire 90-day program.
#2. Within one week after I "give up"
Obviously, the second scenario above is a "scared straight" sort of motivator for me. I have no desires at all to share a picture of myself in just shorts doing silly flexing poses. The fear of having to share just those embarrasing "before" pictures should be enough motivation to keep #2 from ever happening. I hope. :(
Song Of The Day:
You would think that today's song would be related to exercising and being motivated and achieving a goal ... and you'd be right. I have chosen a song I recently downloaded (after having loved it for over a year). The song is "Faster" by Matt Nathanson. It's not about exercise, but the lyrics could easily apply to the P90X workouts (from what I've previewed). Let's do this!
