P90X Grads? Time for a "Master's" Degree

I can't believe I'm saying this, but we are P90X grads! The ride was unbelievable, and I'm sure I will have more insight as I reflect upon this journey further. The results are staggering in 90 days of bringing it EVERY DAY:
  • 30 lbs. lost (Starting weight, 245lbs, current weight, 215)
  • 6.5 inches gone from the waistline, (Size 41 to 34.5)
  • More stamina in all aspects of athletics
  • Knee pain completely gone
  • Healthier eating habits
  • Lifestyle change for the better in all aspects of general fitness
  • More positive outlook on life in general 
As with any achievement, this was hard work! It was not easy to get up early (or in some cases, stay up late to work out) and BRING it every day, but somehow we did. The journey has been incredible and rewarding despite the struggle. The best news is that this has only motivated us to keep going. We are not going to have some big dinner party where we put all of the garbage back in our bodies - quite the contrary. We plan on cycling back to phase one of P90x and pushing play for another 90 days straight. This time, I expect the results to be just as staggering because we will push ourselves even further this time around.

Also, this blog will continue. Even if it helps one of my friends, family, or even a complete stranger change their lives for the better, then it has done its job. The worst thing you can do in terms of reaching your personal fitness goals is nothing. I know I am still far from my goals, but I am so much further than where I was 90 days ago. When I reach that goal, I'll set a new one so I can always push myself.

I want to thank my beautiful wife, Michelle, for taking this journey with me. She has been an inspiration for me each and every day, and her results are equally impressive. I'll spare the details in order to keep my home happy! She appreciates everyone's support just as much as I do, however.

More will definitely come, including pictures, but I wanted to check in since I haven't posted in awhile and let everyone know that WE MADE IT! Round 2, Let's GO!
