Hey everybody. So around this time last year I decided (through a series of events) that I wanted some change. I'd always been quite tubby, and it had effected my social and personal wellness to a point where I was simply done with it. So having previously heard of tony horton's p90x through some friends I resolved to do a little research. Having a poke around the web yielded a fair amount of possitive reviews, not the least of which mentioning power 90 that was being introduced as a gateway program for p90x. Being that my fitness level wasn't exactly up to par, I decided it might be an idea to take on a little tamer program to start off with.
It took a fair amount of horsing about to actually get the program being that beachbody doesn't ship to Canada, so I had to get a US residing friend to bring it up for me. Subsequently I never got my hands on the set until around mid December. I came to the conclusion, being that it was the holidays with family dinners and the like, that it would be plain cruel to myself to start then and there so I shelved it for a week or two and cut loose on the turkey dinner. New years rolled around, and I pulled out the box of goodies and began the grind
The majority of my winter consisted of very monotonous-and not very demanding-work caretaking a local business location so doing the routine fit it fairly well. At the time I lived very rurally so there were a number of other variables that came into play that would inhibit my perfect schedule or diet plan. As it was I was quite pleased with the results I was given in such a short amount of time.
I went from aprox 274 lb right around christmas to 205 around the end of May. Even though I officially quit the p90 at the tail end of march, I kept loosing at a decent rate.
Attached are some pictures starting from when I originally began the power 90 on new years to early july. The numbers are the aprox day into the program I was at the time. Obviously not quite the picture of Michelangelo's David, but I'm pleased with the progress.

I have now acquired beachbody's p90x, and plan to complete that over the coming months. I also plan to keep this journal updated if only for my own motivation whether it's being read or not. I'll most likely be posting some starting pictures as well.
