Here's the Deal...

I need to feel good about myself again. When I'm in good shape and feel healthy, I am a much happier person, a better wife and a much better mom. I had my second baby 8 weeks ago and I have been dying to get back into shape but finding the motivation to do so has been a real challenge. I feel tired and run down. I can't wear any of my own clothes. I feel self-concious about my body all the time. I have lost confidence. The worst part is when I feel like this, I eat... a lot. It is time to make a change! The best shape I have ever been in was just over three years ago when I committed myself to do the P90X program. Afterwards, my husband and I went to Hawaii and I felt and looked great! I want to feel and look like this again...


I have decided to do the P90X program again. I know how hard this is going to be for me since I am a tired mom to a 2 year old and an infant, but I have to do it for myself. As a means of holding me accountable to my committment, I created this blog as a way to document my journey over the next 90 days. I feel like if I write every day about my challenges and successes and post periodic progress pictures, then I will remain determined to do this. Whoever is interested in following this blog, please do! All the support and encouragement I can get from friends, family and random readers will keep me all the more motivated! I am not setting a weight loss goal, just a goal to follow to excersize schedule (6 days per week workouts) and nutrition plan. In the words of Tony Horton, I am going to "do my best and forget the rest"! Wish me luck cause here I go...

  1. Way to be motivated! I am gonna see if I can't work out along with you. I have put it off after Lydia and the move has been the worst thing for me ever! I have about ten pounds to loose and hopefully some muscle tone to gain back... I have insanity instead of P90X but it should do the trick! My biggest down fall is my diet. I need to come up with a plan for that....

  2. Good luck Annie! I am feeling the exact same way you are except I can't even use the "I have a newborn excuse" anymore. Maybe this will help motivate me again too!
