Well i am a very happily married family man. I have two children with a third on the way and this is the first pregnancy where i am not gaining pound for pound with my wife! Years ago I was in great shape. I was in the Marines and loving life. To be honest i've always seen myself as a strong, fit, good looking guy. However in the past couple years i put on close to 40 pounds and i don't like
Well i am a very happily married family man. I have two children with a third on the way and this is the first pregnancy where i am not gaining pound for pound with my wife! Years ago I was in great shape. I was in the Marines and loving life. To be honest i've always seen myself as a strong, fit, good looking guy. However in the past couple years i put on close to 40 pounds and i don't like the guy i see in the pictures, I don't recognize him. My weight has affected me in every area of my life. I tried going to the gym, I tried the atkins crash diet a few times. I even started to fast regularly from the first 2 meals of the day. Everything i did had meager results. My body did not change much. So i felt worse off then ever.
Now im nearing the end of my 3rd week in phase 1 of p90x and the results are already showing up! i've lost 6 pounds and at least 22 more to go. This is all very exciting to me. My self image, value, morale, sex drive, and activity are all finally in line with how i always thought they should be. These workouts are bringing me back to that bootcamp mentality and just like in bootcamp i went in weak and dull but came out strong and sharpened. I am excited to see the man that emerges from this next 60 or so days remaining. more to come.
