The Results Are In!! (Part 2)

WEIGH IN DAY!!!  AKA...DAY 20!!

July 14th - 293 (Pre-P90X)
July 26th - 290.6 (Day 1 of P90X)
August 4th - 285 (Day 10 of P90X)
August 14th - 281.8 (Day 20 of P90X)

Pretty successful I think!  I'm feeling great...better than I felt in recent months.  Here are a list of positive changes:

1. Obvious answer...I'm lighter.

2. I'm developing more muscle mass.  I can't tell, but my wife says that she can.  Good enough for me!

3. When I get up in the morning, I used to have a lot of joint pain.  Walking for the first few minutes was always pretty painful.  Then it would go away.  Now, I get up and the pain is gone.

4. I am much more able to participate in the exercises Tony provides.  Don't get me wrong, I still have a long way to go, but the coordination is better...much better!

5. Here's a weird one: I usually have acne on my forehead.  Not very big pimples, but many small ones making my forehead look like I have a rash or something.  3 weeks into the program, acne is gone and face is clear...pretty cool...and unexpected!!

6. I'd love to say my energy level is up...I think it is a bit, but so far, not a  real noticeable difference.  I've been pretty busy lately...so...that has sucked up a lot of my time (and energy).

3 weeks into the program and I'm feeling pretty good about the changes going on in me.  I'm feeling "pumped" for the recovery week and phase 2.  I'm over that 3 week hump and looking to improve more!!

Alright...enough for tonight...more tomorrow or Monday!

Later!

Bob - congrats!! Great job noting the positives - they will keep coming!

In my opinion, the first month is the hardest for a variety of reasons including the "newness". I really preferred some of the routines in month 2 a lot better (espec. chest & back and shoulders & arms), they were more "fun" and interesting - and month 1 prepares you for them.
Keep up the good work, you'll be glad you did! It is worth the effort (you are worth the effort!!)
