i'm totally throwing myself under the bus here. up until about a year and a half ago i always stayed in tip top shape. i played every sport imaginable, ran, lifted weights, and used a little help along the way. i started taking a product called 'no-xplode' to be able to maintain the lifestyle i'd been living. 50+ hour work weeks, 8-10 mile runs and an hour on the weights daily, all while only getting about 4 hours of sleep a night. it just couldn't be done. i began waking up in the middle of the night with heart rates in the 180's. yeah. not good. multiple trips to the ER only to be told i'm healthy as a horse and there's definitely nothing wrong with me, so i got scared. i'll admit it. i took a break and started to focus on other areas of my life. exercising and eating right were replaced by other things (not complaining) and has led me to this.
p90x. you've all heard about it. you've seen the infomercials. you've probably even searched the internet for results wondering for yourself if it really works. maybe you know somebody who's done it? maybe you don't? and if you did, did they stick to it? did you see the results?
i told my wife i'd be throwing myself under the bus because i knew once i did you'd all be stopping back for updates, so this was going to make me commit. and by commit i mean 100% commitment. i'll be updating this EVERY TWO WEEKS so you guys can see the results and so i can hold myself accountable. none of the photos will include any kind of tom foolery photoshop magic other than sizing and sharpening for the web.
day one: p90x 5'8" 165 lbs.
