I started the classic P90x routine today and, even though I can't lift my arms up now, feel great. What an intense workout! I had to stop Ab Ripper with six minutes left because I thought I was about to puke... was dizzy and nauseous from the chest and back video. I'm looking forward to getting a few weeks in and building up a healthy habit!

For reasons I cannot explain, I initially had a goal of starting this at 220 pounds but decided to start when I was 244. That was two weeks ago when I made the decision and only one week of actually going through the exercises. It's incredibly intense but well worth it. The stretching is amazing and I can tell that I am more limber than I ever was before this and I can begin to see an inkling of muscle tone in my arms and shoulder. Let's be real, part of that is fat loss, but any improvement is just that, an improvement. Thank you sleeve, thank you Tony Horton, and thank you verticalsleevetalk!

Would yall think the precurser "Power 90" program would be good if we're just starting out and still extra Pooh-sized? I want to get started on something like this but it sounds like the P90x would chew me up and spit me out LOL.

I just heard about this not too long ago. It does sound interesting. I mean, it sure couldn't hurt to take the small hop before leaping over the moon!!

Love that line Diva! :) I think I may get the Power 90 before I jump into the P90x. I did take a look at the website and I gotta say the Brazilian Butt set looks promising too LOL Has anyone tried that one/

With P90x, you can change the routine to the "lean" version that is predominately cardio videos and when you feel up to it, you can do the "classic" program. Ultimately, you own 12 DVDs and it comes with instructions on how to watch them in a series that works best for you. With the cardio workouts, i certainly couldn't keep up with the folks in th video, I just went at my own pace and have slowly built up enough endurance to be able to almost match them. All of this to say that i don't know about the power 90 except it was a precursor to P90x. I have read that a new version is coming out this year too, called P90x:MC2 (muscle confusion). Just do it, at your pace. :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
