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 82

I got to bed around 2AM last night after completing my workout, the important thing is though, I completed it. I'm finally seeing progress with the chin ups, 83 days later and it's about time I was beginning to think I'd never be able to do more than three (with chair suport by the way) my goal is to be able to do 1 without the chair by my fit test on day 90

We went to the Ichiban Japanese restaraunt for Dans 25th birthday they cooked the food right in front of you and put on a show it was very entertaining and I got to see everything that was going into my food, though I didn't know what all the sauces where.
