I’ve really gotten out of shape, but at least I’ve gotten started on this. I’m hoping to show improvement in a month or two. 4 weeks ago

- Preview the videos before you go through them
- Make copies of the workout logs
- Believe you can do it.

It made me
In better shape!
How I did it: Imperfectly for sure - I started 9/11/2011 but restarted for real after 3 weeks on 10/3/2011 as I was inconsistent the first time around and not really dedicated to change. Plus my eating habits sucked and I was out of balance - went WAAAY overboard on healthy food/spending as I'd always eaten like shit my whole life (I don't blame my parents for the choices I made but they did shape my eating habits growing up...which makes sense - most people in my family are overweight and have health problems). I'm not beating myself up here though as it was a major learning curve in how to take care of myself. Now I have a better idea.
Got rid of anxiety medication which was actually causing me anxiety, depression and weight gain! I think a lot of my emotions came from health issues and were due to external factors rather than internal ones.
Pushed play daily - there were days I was really sick (could be because my body was in shock/changing) and seriously considered quitting/skipping a day, but I knew that if I didn't do that day's workout I would break my routine and would rationalize doing it again the next day and so on until I stopped doing it.
Considered the amount of time I'd already put into it as well as money on supplements/food/equipment as a motivator when quitting was appealing.
Also considered the amount of time I'd have to spend working something off - curbed most junk food (ONLY at one party around day 80 and a little bit on Christmas did I drink beer and indulge.... not perfect but a hell of a lot better than last year as I didn't do Halloween or Thanksgiving either)
No drugs - not only are they addictive and illegal, but they made me feel awful and gave me munchies
Have an incentive: I want to get a new wardrobe so I figure if I lose weight that will be a great reason to get new clothes that fit my new physique. Plus I want more energy, better health, to prevent an early death and major health problems (plus save money on them too), more confidence, and have a better appearance as well as go on more dates!

camachoborrachoI feel dumb about this but
Was wondering why my weight was plateauing around 218 (which means I actually gained weight probably via muscle) and my appearance wasn’t changing.
Well now I know – I was eating the same amount appropriate for my weight instead of gradually decreasing.
What I should have been doing instead of using the P90X diet guide of where my weight is, I should have been using it where I want to be (thus I should not be eating a Level III diet but a Level II and eventually Level I). Argh, oh well, the plus side is my flexibility, stamina and strength are significantly improved. So for this week I’m going to eat a Level II diet at this point on and modify downward using a calorie calculator I found online. That means I won’t be super ripped/shredded at the end of this P90X round but my muscles will have grown big time. And I will be doing P90X Leans next round to get rid of the flab I still have prior to working on getting cut. Oh well, I can still make a bit of a change now, never too late…. 1 month ago
ZewyOnly giving up
so that I can add this to my “resolutions” section, because bf and I have actually decided to make this a resolution. Normally I hate those things, and if I make them they are only in my head, but I think this is a good one to do because there’s a definite timeline that you can visualize moving forward from January 1. 2 months ago
camachoborrachoDay 60 Done!
And man it was tough as I am battling a pretty rough cold right now so I did NOT want to do Yoga X, but I also know that I didn’t want to throw off my regiment – plus photo day was something I’m looking forward to.
I’m not as excited about results this time around – I mean they’re not bad but not as dramatic as 0 – 30, though I also know it’s because I cheated a little more this time around with food…. but now that I’m in phase 3 there’s no messing around at all in food or the workouts, and I’m hoping that the results by day 90 are awesome. Seems like 31-60 was about toning and 61-90 is about ‘confusion’ with both toning and slimming. Anyway onto last phase! 2 months ago
camachoborrachoPhase II Done!
Today is Day 56, which means the end of Phase II for P90X Classic. Starting tomorrow not only more carbs & veggies as well as less protein, dairy and snacks, but also it’s really getting into the intense “muscle confusion” as every week the workout sessions alternate and I’m supposed to not hold back at all.
Also excited/anxious about the day 60 photos in 4 days. I feel stronger and in better shape but the photos won’t lie. It’s also a challenge not to put on weight during the holidays – which is why I’m limiting my parties and get togethers elsewhere, and eating my portions at home whenever possible and drinking only water or coffee with splenda if I can help it. See you in 4! 2 months ago
camachoborrachoDay 50 done!
Definitely feeling better and stronger the more I do this. Yes my form isn’t at the “Super Duper” expert level on most moves but “I’m doing my best and forgetting the rest” – yes I’ve seen & heard these enough times to have pretty much memorized every DVD by now!
Phase II ends in 6 days then the real intensity of Phase III begins – excited (and a little nervous) for the results! And of course, will post my 60 day pics in 10 days…. 2 months ago
Lamar J2 Secrets About Completing P90X
I am extremely happy to have accomplished this goal. Completing P90X is 90%, no 99% mental. And to say that I completed it is an accomplishment no one can ever take away.
Get Real
The secret though is have realistic goals. P90X isn’t a magic pill. It is a lot of hard work and a huge commitment, 60 to 90 minutes per day of exercise.
Eat Your Way To Fitness
BTW, all of that hard means nothing if you don’t pay attention to your eating habits. You CANNOT out work bad eating. 2 months ago
camachoborrachoHalfway done!
Today is day 45. Phase II is a lot harder than I as in I get tired easier and don’t always reach my max – perhaps it has to do with the increased carbs/less protein part of the diet, or just the fact that these are harder workouts. I’ll be glad to take my day 60s though assuming I keep getting the results I was getting days 1-30. We’ll see… 2 months ago
