Tony Horton is pretty great....I've had success with him before with P90 and
the Masters Series, but two years later, I'm back to where I was, pre-P90.
Why? Why did I work my butt off for 6 months to allow myself to go back,
looking flabby and so out of shape? This occurred for many reasons. For
starts, my life is pretty sedentary. As a home schooling mom of four, I hardly
ever have any time for myself...I love my family, but they take a lot of my
time...that's just a fact, not a complaint. On top of that, I've had a sick child
with seizures for the past four years. We've been in and out of the hospital
many times and my priority has been to meet his needs first, never thinking
twice about shoving a candy bar in my mouth and/or downing a soda as a
quick fix energy boost. On top of all of that, I believe one of the biggest
reason I gained my weight back, is due to the fact that my fitness routine and
proper nutrition was not a family affair. It's very difficult to maintain a
certain level of health when my life partner and children are not exercising
nor wanting to eat the foods necessary to succeed.
Hey, we love In-N-Out Burger and Chicago style pizza, who doesn't?
But something happened this last year...my husband finally went in for a
physical for the first time in 17 years of marriage. He was trying to buy a life
insurance policy for himself and had to undergo a physical. The results: High
cholesterol. He will also be turning 40 in June.
I had seen the P90X infomercials so many times and everything in me wanted
to go for it...However, I knew that the program was intense, and without the
support of my husband, it just wasn't going to happen. So I mentioned it...a
few weeks later I mentioned it again...this time there was a definite interest in
his voice. I waited longer until finally, he told me to go ahead and buy it. In
all honesty, I never thought my husband would stick with it. Even as we
began the first week, I waited for him not to show up downstairs for the
work-out, as we committed to 5:30 a.m. each day. My husband works until
11 or 12 each night, so I knew this was going to take extra commitment on
his part. We finished P90X today on Easter Sunday. My husband lost 22
pounds and dropped 50 points in his cholesterol. I have dropped two pant
sizes and 16 pounds.
My husband is cooking with me and we are persevering together.
We both started P90X over-weight, so we are not where we want to be...But
we will do another round in just a few weeks. We are not starting right away,
because I have entered my first ever TRIATHLON, occurring on Mother's Day
Weekend, and I will be in training. I have been running 4 miles with no
problems and I give all the credit to Tony Horton who has trained me well.
