As those who know me know, I like to live a healthy lifestyle and have gotten into running and triathlons in the last few years. While I have accomplished some things that I never thought I would, finishing a marathon and completing a triathlon to name a couple, there is one thing I have yet to accomplish that is eating away at me. I have tried three times but have yet to finish a full round of P90X.

For those who do not know what P90X is, watch the video and you will get the picture. I would like to think I was ahead of the pack in jumping on the P90X bandwagon as I purchased it in early 2008. That was before the influx of celebrities and athletes started to attribute their new body transformations to P90X and I got a lot of strange looks when I mentioned it. Today, I am more likely to be asked how far through the program I am and share a collective groan with others about yoga day, which seems to be everyone’s least favorite.

The fact that I may have had the DVD’s before anyone else doesn’t mean a thing, however, unless I finish the progam! I got through the first 30 days and lost 13 pounds before but something always comes up to throw me off track (travel, illness, etc). I started my latest round today and, while sore, I am pumped and excited as I embark on it again.

So, what is going to make this round different from the others and make me think I will finish?

Here is why:

• I just publicly stated I would and can’t hide from anyone
• I will post regular updates here to keep me on track
• Beach season is coming
• A good friend of mine has completed two rounds of the program and rubs it in every chance she gets. She is moving the end of June to another state and I am determined to finish one round before she goes

There you have it. I have set my sights on the albatross that has been plaguing me and look for the status updates and pictures to come.
