P90X day 1

Last night Jenna and I started p90x. We have decided that we will be making a life change for the better. Jenna is fit already, but I need to shed a few (a lot) of pounds.

The program is really good. We did not have a pull up bar last night so we may have gotten off easy.

The discouraging thing for me is that I feel like I am just a shadow of my old self. I can barely even do 10 pushups in a row, and I have been able to do 70 in the past. I feel like it will be a long road back to be being healthy and fit.

Lately I have been feeling a real lack of energy which has become quite evident in my conditioning with our soccer team. I can barely run one time up and down the field without slowing way down to  walk. I also feel very tired at the end of my work day. I mostly sit in a desk all day and read, so this is worry-some as any normal person would not feel tired at the end of the days I have. So here goes nothing. I am hoping to lose 50 pounds and fit into a large shirt by the end of this long road. I also want to go down to a size 36 pant. I am sick of walking into a store and having no clothes that fit me.

A big thanks to my brother Kev for inspiring me to have enough of being mediocre. I need to have the body God intended me to have. I take care of myself mentally and spiritually very well, and now it is time for me to take care of myself physically.

Here is what you can do for me: Keep me accountable. Text me and bug me to keep going. Encourage me, rebuke me. Help me guys! I need to be surrounded by people who wont let me fail. Most of all pray for me. Pray that this will be a watershed moment in my life,  and that I will succeed..
