during my last year of college in 2005, i decided to work out, and i loved it...three times a week, i took time out for myself, did an hour long cardio/weight lifting work out and liked it a lot....i also worked for my friend as her home health aide, and was a parttime retail associate....i was busy, but i kept it up!!! i admit, i was mildly exhausted, and i soon realized that college and two parttime jobs was wearing me down....

eventually, i graduated from college in june, quit my retail job in august, and immediately started searching out a "career" in the sciences....i kept working out, and didn't see any progress (what i realize now is that i should have measured myself and took pictures....i actually started toning up my body and getting rid of the cellulite, i just didn't have any hard proof!) then, i landed my startout "dream" job in october, and i loved it....working for my friend, tho, had become a major problem...she was so demanding, and ended up being an all around bad person with a negative, consuming personality...i had to get out, so i did....

i stopped contacting her in march...just like that, out of the blue, i stopped talking to her and taking her calls, knowing that her boyfriend was more than capable of taking care of her, and it was the best thing i could have ever done for myself....i had finally rid myself of her negativity, her problems, her deceit, and her vile ways...i felt free....

i started looking for a home with my boyfriend, a first time home, also in march...with a new perspective on life, a fresh face, we delved into house hunting....and i started putting off excercising and eating well for just "one more day"....you know how the story goes!!! and now, at the end of may, i feel miserable!!! it's only been about two-three months, and i've LOST all my tone and gained a belly! what happened!! i feel gross, i feel unattractive, i don't feel like a recent college graduate with a new lease on life and a new house that we are to move into this coming friday! i should be thrilled and in the best shape! and alas, i'm not...i allowed some simple excuses to get into the way of my overall health, and it shames me....

but i will succeed! i will LOSE twenty pounds, and with power 90 and taking care of a starter home, i know i can do it by the beginning of october (the oct ninth is my baby brothers wedding!)!!! i know i can do it!!! i'm determined!!!!

UPDATE: whoa...what a year. I stopped working out at the beginning of this year after becoming more sick than I've ever been in my entire life. That all happened in March, and since then I've been fighting my energy, which has been super low. I went from being on top of the world to feeling like I did when I carried around that extra 60 pounds. Since I haven't been working out, I've lost a lot of tone, and started eating that yucky stuff again (aka fast food, donuts, chocolate and more chocolate) but at least not in access. So I've indulged a little, had fun with it, and now I'm over it an want to get back! I know I can do it, and I'm sure I can with P90X. I missed Tony so much, and his quirky energy. And this time, I've recruited my boyfriend to do it with me! In the past, I enjoyed what I did exercising and eating right. The journey was very lonely, especially since my boyfriend is sedentary except for work and eats junk (all the while though, he keeps a toned figure...humph, testosterone!). This time, it's going to be so fun, and it's something we can accomplish together!

Here we go!
