A Healthy Postpartum

To begin the journey to greater health the first thing you need is imagination. You need to see beyond today to perceive that you can indeed say no to seconds, cheesecake and overcome other struggles. Right now all your clothes fit you, your comfortable. Buy a pair of jeans a size or two to small. I knew I could make it back from 180lbs to 155 because I had been 155 only a year earlier and had an entire wardrobe I wanted to fit again.

Since last January I've become considerably healthier, tracked by weight and messurment, I've lost 35lbs and a total of 12 inches which can be seen in greater d-tail in the messurments tab above. I love feeling healthy and every time I'm excercising I get to thinking, how can I help other people break ground in their own health transformation. The best way I could think of was sharing the day by day process that brought me to where I am now.

I hope you are inpired by my fitness story. As I record my P90X round 1 journey and other health endevours I have attempted, both the successes and the failures. I stared a round of insanity assylum, but realized in the first week it was above my current abilities. I'm going to be taking the P90X challenge for another spin.

as a note, I'm still updating my 2011 P90X round 1 story, I did record most days in the journey, it's just a matter of typing them out and posting them

P90X Day 75

So far in 75 days I've had two really bad eating days, and this was one of them. At least this day was better than my other one in which I ate unhealthy every meal of the day except lunch, today I had an unhelpful evening. My poor eating choices made getting motivated to do my workout difficult, "I ate so bad today what's the point" but I told myself what's going to help, doing it or not doing it. I chose the helpful option and did it, enthusiastically too.

I'm feeling pumped for the upcoming week. Tomorrow is sunday so that's stretching and then I've got my last week of lifting and then on to the recovery week and I'm done my 90 days. I'm going to see just what all this work has amounted to in the next week, my goal is to be able to do 1 pull up without using the chair by the end of all this.
