Here we go again...

"I have fallen and I can't get up"... Famous words from a T.V. Commercial that emulate my fitness journey. I have seriously fallen and I can't find the motivation to get back up. I decided to start this blog to chronicle my journey into trying yet again to reach my fitness goals. I have been successful in the past not once but twice losing twenty pounds each time (See Photos Below). The first time I lost twenty pounds I was doing P90x and running regularly. The second time I lost it I was lifting weights using the Jamie Eason Livefit program on bodybuilding.com and running. Both times I ate fairly healthy.

I have unfortunately gained all of my weight back due to poor eating habits and lack of exercise. I have a major sweet tooth and a weak will. I turn into a temper tantrum throwing little demon that screams give me more once I've had a taste of sugar. If I buy a box of little Debbie brownies I will consume the entire box within a day or two all by myself.  This typically occurs when my evil red head visitor arrives and the chocolate cravings become overwhelming. 

I like to put a disclosure out there...I've never felt like I've been extremely overweight but I know when I start feeling uncomfortable it's time to do something. Uncomfortable to means shortness of breath, clothes fitting too snug or having to go up a few sizes, always trying to hide my belly in photos, and the worst part is losing my sex drive because I don't feel sexy. The time has come to start again and I pray this blog will keep me motivated and hold me accountable. I also pray that in maintaining this blog I will help others along in their journey. Let's inspire each other!

So, today I've decided to try P90x3... I did the "Total Synergistic" video and I have to say it kicked my butt. I couldn't keep up with them. I hope that I can indeed transform within 90 days. Cheers to day 1!

My Current Stats are...

Ht: 5'2"

Wt: 155lbs

Waist: 37.5 inches

Hips: 39 inches

Chest: 37 inches 

These are my before and after photos from the first time I lost 20lbs using P90x, running, and eating better but not exactly clean..

 The Second Time...Using  Jamie Eason's Livefit, running, and eating clean.

This is me now... I have a ways to go and I need to succeed. Wish me luck!

 I pray I maintain consistency and keep it off this time.
