Stats, Progress and Goals

Afternoon Guys!

So just to catch up with my progress, Jan 4th was my official start date for P90X for the new year. On facebook their is a group of us who all started on the same date and we call ourselves "P90X Class of 2010". Search for P9O ( the zero is an "O", not a zero) X Class of 2010 to join us.

Basically, we all want to see how far we can push our fitness level by the end of 90/180/270/360 days...so this means we will be doing at least 4 rounds of P90X. To motivate myself and everyone else, I have decided to list my stats and progress thus far:

 

180lbs, BodyFat: 29% // Goal: 140lbs, BodyFat: 15-20%

Ive only really dropped water weight the first week. I have decided not to rely on the scale to see if I am making progress. The scale really doesnt matter, because we all know inches will drop first and muscle weighs more than fat. I am pretty confident that this will work for me. Its only been the first week and I am really sore, but I can feel a difference in how my body reacts to food.

Eating was always a problem for me in the past, and thats how I became overweight. What I failed to realize was that I was using food to deal with my "real" life problems. I didnt know the difference between hunger and thirst and it became a huge problem. For now, my eating habits are better. I make it a point to shop the perimeter of the grocery store, and I also purchase my fruits and veggies at the farmers market. Small changes really go a long way.

For now my goals are to keep going strong, and since school is starting on Monday, I will have more to balance. I really cant say that I expect to be model thin, but I want to get back to a healthier weight were I felt comfortable in my own skin. What I think is most important is the confidence you regain again from putting in all this hard work.

So for now, keep it up...I'll see you in the gym!
