Decided to keep a short blog of my P90X program. . . so if it works you can see what I went through. . if it doesn’t I can keep reading and kick myself.

I’m getting married in 3 months, I’ve a gut and want to get fitter and lose the weight. Currently at the start of this I weigh 16st10 (my highest ever!). Now – I won’t be doing the special diet, I enjoy the bits I eat when I eat. However I am taking a protein shake after each session + creatine before. No idea if that will make a major difference. . . but only one way to find out!

I’ve got some before photo’s taken – but no way I’m sharing those until there is something good to compare to! Hopefully if I can make the first 30 days (meant to be the hardest) then I will have something to show then.

This will be my 2nd attempt at starting, I did try just before xmas. The P90X program comes with a test – to see if you are ready for it. . . the X stands for Xtreme. . .and they mean it! I did the test – and sort of got through it. . in reality I struggled. But decided I would go ahead anyway. Now – with me . . I go for it . . don’t know moderation, and push myself.

Day 1 – was hard very hard – really pushed, Day 2 – nightmare day . . could hardly walk while doing the exercises near the end. Day 3 – found I was in absolute agony in my shoulders with a pain that moved through EVERY muscle group in the top half of my body over the next 2 days. That is when I stopped to recover.

This time round – I am taking it ALOT easier. I will push myself . . but not stupidly. I’m hoping this means I can keep going without any silly injuries and complete the course.

So. . . wish me luck! Day 1 is tomorrow!
