Get Fit - P90X

I'm on Week 1 - Day 4 of P90X...very intense workout for people that don't really workout (me!!!).

I used to be very active back in High School/Grades school - played basketball, tennis, and pretty much walked and biked everywhere until I learned how to drive and started working full-time after college...then it was downhill from there...I gained 20lbs within a few months. I kept eating like the way I used to eat back in High School/College but wasn't as active. Just 3 years ago, I started practicing bikram yoga. I don't do it as much now because of time and money. Quite expensive. So I decided to purchase P90X. Not much into infomercials but this one seems to work for a lot of people. I researched it online and watched "before" and "after" videos/experiences of people just like me that have tried it. It looks like it worked for them and they're no infomercial actors so that pretty much got me to buy it.

I'm not going to go into detail about it. I'll post my "before" measurements and pictures soon. So far so good. I did plyometrics and it's been 2 days and I'm still aching. I don't follow the Nutrition Plan. I've never done any kind of diet plans before in my life and I just don't want to be restricted and not able to eat my fave foods (pastries, pizza, etc.) I think I eat moderately healthy. I don't really eat fast food or junk. My goal is to get tighter, toned, and maybe one day have really tight abs :)

I don't do New Years Resolution...never have...but I do set goals for myself every year. I start with list of goals in the beginning of the year. More like a checklist of goals. I'm not pressured to do them but I try my best to achieve each one. Resolutions are like - do or die kind of thing. Most people I know ends up breaking them and becomes next year's resolution. Well, this is my opinion...goals and resolution-completely different.

So this year, my short-term goals are:

1. Get Fit - started P90X (March 8) 90 days of intense workout. I also practice bikram yoga, but not as often as before. I started it 3 years ago.

2. Learn How to Swim - oh yes, I'm 27 y/o and can't tread water...I want to maximize FUN when I travel to hot destinations...(I love Maui).

3. Learn How to Play the Guitar - I want music in my life...closest thing right now is my i-touch. I took guitar lessons when I was 6 but I wasn't really into it back then.

4. Keep travelling - Money is tight this year so I don't think I'll be doing any international travelling. I'll keep it within Canada/US for now.

...so far this is all I have set for this year.

Last year's goals:

Get Braces - Fix my smile! I still have braces but they come off at the end of this year.
Travel - went Maui, Vegas, and San Francisco
