My weight loss journey through P90X

Ok, so I've gained about 60 pounds in the last 5 years since I got married.
I ballooned from 136 to 193.
I'm terribly out of shape, but I'm going to fix that.
I lost 35 pounds before I got married in a year, I can do that and then some again.
The first plan was to buy an elliptical while I was away from home for 3/4 of the year, so I didn't have
to go out into the frozen wastelands to the gym.  That's impossible for me, since I've discovered that good ellipticals are 1000's of dollars.  Plus they weigh a ton on their own and I live on the second story of a very weak house.

So I needed something else, something cheaper, but intense enough for me to lose the weight.
I decided on the P90X system that I've seen advertised on tv for years.

I've done Tae Bo, Denise Austin, worked out at the gym, did spinning classes, yoga classes, an extra hard yoga/martial arts hybrid class called Kataflex, done a mini 6 week boot camp at the gym as well.
I'm pretty familiar with fitness knowledge and what I'm supposed to do.

I've also never been so out of shape in my entire life, this is the heaviest I've ever been and I hate it.

So today I started working out with P90X.  You need all types of weights, a chin up bar or cables to do pull ups and chin ups, and a lot of determination.

The first day on the classic plan is chest and back, plus the ab ripper.
1 hour and 16 minutes of hard, intense exercise with a little intense warm up and cool down thrown in for keeping yourself from getting injured.

During the warm up I was tired.   30 minutes into chest and back I was ready to vomit.  Very tired by the end of the first segment.  Then it was abs time.  VERY hard, since my abs are some of the weakest parts of my body.  I couldn't even do all the moves they did, but I kept trying and kept moving.  I did my best so I have nothing to be ashamed of, but it does show me how very out of shape I am.

They do recommend being in better shape then I am at the beginning of this program, but I'm in it now, and I'm not giving up until my first 90 days are done.  By then, I'll be back home and I'll go back to the gym for awhile to give myself a break.

Even if I did want to repeat my 90 days they have two variations other than the one I'm doing now, so I won't get bored.  They also recommend one week off where you don't do anything to let your body heal from the stuff you've been doing for the past 3 months before you go for another round.

I'll keep you updated with my progress as we go along.

Today I weighed myself in at 189.8 lbs. this morning.  By the afternoon I weigh about 192-193.
My waist is at least 41 inches and that's way too much for my height.
Wish me luck.
