Excitement

Excitement! I can hardly control myself. I can't believe it! Woo hoo!!!!!

I have had this longing for the chance to start P90X. This deep down feeling inside my soul that has just wanted this challenge, this opportunity. A challenge. There is no other way to describe this type of workout. I have watched a dear friend challenge herself with this program. It has done amazing things for her and her husband. She has completely transformed her body. I admire her. She is a strong woman with such determination and strength both inside and out. I have to be honest, when ever I saw the infomercials for P90X, I thought to myself "yeah right, these are enhanced photos etc..." but after watching my friend go thru these changes, I HAD to have it. Even if I fail. Even if I can't physically do it. I can stand up (sore) and say that I tried my very best. But I won't fail. I can't.

Mariah motivates me. Her dedication to herself and her body inspires me. I have watched her go from "normal" (not too heavy and not too thin) and transform her body into something that she has so much pride in. She should. She does not look like a body builder, she does not look sculpted (like a man). She looks lean. She looks beautiful. Her skin has changed. She looks refreshed. I have not seen her in quite some time as she moved away about 2yrs ago but she has continued to blog her success with P90X and I am so happy and proud of her.

Okay, so...back to why I am so excited...

I have received P90X as a gift. A gift that I am so grateful for. I can't wait. As crazy as it sounds, I am going to start blogging about my progress. I know I have not blogged much but most of the time, I simply do not have the time to blog. I think if I dedicate myself to blogging about my experience as well as add my photos of my changes...I will be even more successful and will learn so much more. I will begin this challenge next week as I will be going out of town this holiday weekend and will not have the time nor place to start my workout. I will alternate excersize and do a bit of walking and hiking instead.

Keep your fingers crossed... ;)
