2010 was a good year and to quote my wife, Abbey, “the fastest year I’ve ever experienced!” In 2010 I saw my son, Isaac, take his first steps; I watched him develop into a little person who now punishes himself (the other day he was disobeying Abbey, she asked him if he needed to go in the corner and he took her hand and led her to the wall); I saw the resurgence of my DJ company and the continued growth already beginning for 2011; I saw many things that made me appreciate my wife even more and definitely assure me why I fell in love with her in the first place; I saw one too many episodes of 90210 (yes, the old one) and not enough episodes of Castle; I got hooked on more reality shows (Storage Wars, Pawn Stars, and more); I saw some disappointing job denials that all led to me finally getting a dream job with Luxottica; I saw myself run a 10k in under an hour; I saw myself lose nearly 30 pounds and 5 inches off my waist…I saw myself gain almost 10 of those pounds back. It’s time to start regulating the intake and exercising the body – welcome to P90Xcetera!
For those of you who are new to this blog you can catch up on last years or start fresh with a new perspective. You can choose to join me in the weight loss adventure or just cheer me on! I had a goal last year of 205lbs, but I fell short by about 12lbs. I still considered a success, especially after Abbey pointed out how differently my face looked two photos(before and after).
This year my goal is again 205lbs which means I have 90 days (starting Monday 1/3) to drop about 20lbs. I feel like I’m getting a running start because I’m able to learn from my mistakes last year – starting with the 10 egg omelet the first day was an awful idea! As I got a couple weeks into my P90Xperience I feel like I perfected the diet and now I’ll start with that same knowledge.
I don’t know that I’m ready, or looking forward, to hanging out with D-Bag Tony for all the workouts but I’ll make the most of it while stirring my soup. I’ve added dumbbells to my workout instead of using the bands so I think that’s going to really help the definition in my arms. I’m actually going to do the pre-workout tests and take all the proper measurements and pictures so I have a TRUE base to go off of. I’m going to REALLY try and post everyday because in some ways it’s what keeps me motivated.
My goals:
- Drop to 205lbs
- Drop to a 32 or 34 waist (in all pants, not just some)
- Run either the Derby Mini Marathon or the Flying Pig Half Marathon – depends on one person in Louisville
- Keep the weight off and continue some sort of workout after the marathons
- Inspire one person
