A Long Row to Hoe...

Did the P90X "pre-test," took "before" photos & stats, and did a preview of the day 1 exercises tonight.  In order:

Pre-Test: Yikes I have not much upper body strength.  Knew this going in, but it's humbling to really have numbers (or lack of numbers) to back it up.

Photos & Stats:  Ugh.  I really let myself get like this.  Really.  Another hit below the humbling belt having stats and photos to bring it to reality.  238 pounds, 29% body fat, according to my bathroom scale.  Not sure if the body fat reading is fully accurate, but I'll keep using the same scale and see how things trend/if they make sense with results I'm seeing.

Preview of Chest and Back: Went through the warmup routine...eek my arms were burning by the end of that.  Watched the first block of exercises.  This will be a challenge, but the whole "set a goal and try to break it" method along with the helpful encouragement (I actually find Mr. Horton a bit entertaining, at least so far) I think I can do this.

Also posted up the 90-day calendar and routine schedule on the wall.  Alright.  All set for Real Day 1 tomorrow.

Until next time, currently struggling with gravity,
Joe Bagadonuts.
