Day 1 (sort of)

Alright. This is it.

Here's the deal: 2 people, 90 days. Two reasonably unfit people (my husband and myself) have set out to get RIPPED following the exercise routines and nutritional guidelines set out by the P90X fitness program. We are gonna shed pounds, and look fabulous! Today, we started by taking our measurements and taking the fitness test to make sure we were even physically capable of completing the program. Good news! We are! Barely.

Well, me, anyways. Dave did pretty well. Here's our stats:

                    DAVE                COURTNIE
weight         196 lbs                 172 lbs
chest            40.25 in               39.25 in
waist            33 in                    28.5 in
hips              36.5 in                 40.25

pull ups       5                          1
push ups     30                         5
toe touch     -3.5 in                  +2 in  (that means I can reach 2 inches past my toes!)
wall squat   1:45 min               1:27 min
curls            20 w/ 15lbs          20 w/ 10lbs
in&outs       40                        30


So that's where we start. Honestly, I don't really have any specific goals, except to FINISH. I put it in capital letters, so you know I'm serious. I'm not real picky about how many pounds I lose, it's more about just doing it. I want to cross that finish line. Not that I'll complain if I just happen to drop a couple dress sizes along the way :)
 
Now here's the bad news: It's gonna SUCK. I didn't even do an actual workout yet, just the fitness test, and it kicked my butt.

I need a nap.

I'll see you tomorrow, when the real work begins.
