Many people look at the New Year as a good time to start living healthy, going on diets and working out. I read the other day, I think it was on Tony Horton’s Facebook, but I’m not 100% sure, that you should not wait for the new year, you should start NOW.
Right Now, is always the best time to start.
We actually tried back in October, but some things came up (as usual) and then we had family in town for the holidays. I decided it would be best to start after the holidays. That way all of the treats, cookies, chocolate, pies and the rest of the yummy food are gone. People are always bringing in tasty stuff at my work during the holidays. It’s one thing to have just “one”, but can you really have just one??? I don’t have the best willpower when I have to walk past it every time I go the printer.
As I said in my last post, I have tried many programs, but never seem to keep it up. This time is going to be different. I am 31 and if I don’t start making changes now it is just going to get harder and harder. I have gotten to the point where I am exhausted all the time. I barely make it through work and then when I get home all I feel like doing is just going to bed or vegging.
My sister decided to create a healthy life for herself a couple years back. She is in the best shape of her life and she looks GREAT! She loves fitness now. It is a huge part of her life. She has been encouraging me to get started for quite a while now.
My boyfriend, Tim, wants to lose weight as well. We’ve kind of gained the pounds together over the last couple of years. What better time than now since I have a workout and diet partner and I have family I can go to for advice and support.
Tim watched Tony Horton’s infomercial a few times on P90X and really wanted to do it. If he’s willing to do a workout program like that with me I have no objections. I’m there!
… However, what we didn’t realize is that P90X is actually for people already in pretty good shape. Did they mention that in the infomercial? I can’t remember, LOL. Either way, there is no reason we can’t start small and work our way up as we do the program. Each week we’ll get stronger and be able to do more and more.
Now, is the time I’m going to get into the best shape of my life!
