This has been a great week of people "reconnecting" with me. A high school buddy of mine sent me a message via Facebook and shared his success story with me. He lost over 50 pounds and "has his 20 year old body back". He even mentioned that he's starting to really see the six pack. This is his 3rd time through it and he's doing great!
A former student sent me a message to give me some words of encouragement and to tell me that she is getting married. Her "husband-to-be" and his best man are going to do the workout too. Great for them! Tony Horton has said 1000 times that doing it with a friend yields the best results because you tend to push each other! Good luck guys and congratulations again on the engagement!! She's a great girl...take good care of her!! It was great hearing from you!
A dear friend of mine is considering getting into P90X and she asked me why I decided to do this instead of something else like Beach Body's Power 90. Truthfully...I'm a sucker for infomercials. I saw it and was intrigued...I asked around and my buddy did it, so I figured if he endorsed it (and he's a pretty healthy 50 year old) I have to give it a shot! I mentioned this in a previous post a long time ago...P90X isn't a magical workout or anything super special. It's just common sense...exercise a lot, eat right, and lose pounds as well as inches. I don't care what exercise program you're on...www.beachbody.com or other, stay with it and you'll see results. The results motivate you to keep moving on. You will hit low points regarding motivation for sure, but push through them and focus on what you've already accomplished. You don't want to fast forward 2 months down the road and think "man...if I'd have only stuck with it, I'd have 2 months of getting into shape under my belt...now, I'm just fat". Been there, done that, don't want to go back again. Set small goals for yourself and from those successes, build some momentum to help you get to larger goals and, ultimately, your "end game". From time to time, I think of what life will be like in April, but more often, I focus on getting up each day and getting through the week and seeing the results every time I start another workout.
Sorry I got all "motivational" on you...I just think it's so cool that through this blog, people are reconnecting with me. I type this stuff not really thinking that many people actually read it...I always get a big grin when I get a comment or a Facebook message from someone I haven't heard from in a while. Pretty cool stuff!
Take care all and I'll write again soon!!
