T-minus two days

Hello all and welcome!

After seeing Tony Horton's popular infomercial, I decided to dig a little deeper and research the P90x program for myself. I spent weeks reading blogs from P90x graduates and current participants. I watched numerous videos detailing people's transformations. I asked questions. I got answers.

The dvds are in the mail and I, along with my wife, are scheduled to "bring it" starting on Monday.

Equipment I purchased:

• P90x Program DVDs and guides - $61.95 on ebay
• Five resistance bands and a Chin-up bar - $34.99 on ebay
• (2) 2lb. containers of "Amplify" Protien shake mix - $67.49 at GNC
• (2) containers "After Glow" Recovery drink mix - $90.00 at GNC
• Body fat calipers - $16.99 at GNC
• Two pairs of workout gloves - $24.00 at Target
• Perfect Pushup - $29.99 at Target
• 10, 15, 20, and 30 lb. dumbells - borrowed from relative

I figure the best way to keep motivated is to document my progress on this blog. Motivation is going to be key in this process, but with the support of my wife and workout partner as well as my online friends in addition to my own personal will to succeed, I am confident that I'll finish these 90 days in the best shape of my life. It's the beginning of a new life, a new attitude, a new me and I can't wait!!!

Now, is it crazy that I'm sitting here eating ice cream  so that I can look as horrible as possible for my "before" photo? Hey, I do need to clean out our fridge and cupboards of junk food, so I might as well eat it up instead of throwing it out before I start, right?  :)
