The beginning

And so it begins.... So to speak I actually got P90X almost two years ago.  Needless to say I didn't succeed.  At all; okay I made it a week.  I am hoping i make it that far.  To start out my name is Aaron I just turned 25 on my first day of P90X.(which I am going to to just calling the X (its easier!!).) I am 261 pounds as of day one with a lot of other measurements.  Basically short and fat.  My real challenge and the decision to do this was made about 5-6 month ago.  I got on the scale at work and it read 281.  Big frowny face.  Almost 300 pounds!!! Not good I wear size 40-42 Pants. Do you know how hard it is to find decent looking jeans that fit? Its no a good experience.  Back to a couple months ago i weighed 281 lbs. i had to change things some eating habits. Like my precious hostess cakes.  And 44 oz. Root beers. and a lot of other things.  I did make some progress 20 lbs.  Just from cutting out some crap and I already started to feel better!!! So  Standing in front of the mirror seeing my mass of belly; remembering a time where it didn't protrude and sag and have love handles the size of pop can.  I know its disgusting and you are asking why are you telling me this!? 1. because its the truth and 2. because I needed recognize the fact that I wasn't doing okay... there are fatter people than me. I'm fine... I'm not and I need to change!!! NOW!!! And so it begins I hope this blog helps me complete this.  And maybe if you are reading this i might know you maybe i don't.  I kinda hope this might help someone to start to get their lives back.  I know i am ready. I want to go hiking and not get winded in the first 2 min. I want to go run in a 3k 5k 10k. I don't care about winning or be the fastest; i just want to be able to run it and not have to stop and feel like I am going to die. I want to wear clothes that fit me. Not ones that the arms art to long and billow out like big clouds over my arms.  These are things i want.  If you are working on getting in shape think of these little things you want write them down and go for them. In a book iIjust read it had a part where into a part of a statue was put "Your life is yours, rise up and live it."  That is what i am doing I am rising up (of the couch out of bed out of my cushy "flabby" comfort zone; and I am going to start living!!!!!! Good and Bad, Triumph and Pain, I am getting my life back!!!!
