As promised, a short update on how things are going 100 days after we finished P90X. You may remember that I had lost a bit over 12 pounds over that rough journey. I hoped to keep that off, maybe lose a bit more, and be in a regular exercise routine.
Well, like any classic weight loss story, the dreams didn’t quite make it up to reality. I gained it all back plus a few pounds since then and am lazier than ever.
Really? You believed that? I mean, things aren’t going to be a fairy tale ending here, but you think it was going to go that bad? Messed up dude.
In reality, I gained about 3 pounds back, which isn’t so bad. I didn’t work out all too much since then, though we just joined a gym and went to my first class today. Also, I’ve been running a few times this week. You may have recalled from previous posts that the thing that really made P90X work for me was the no-thought nature of it. Pop it in and “keep pressing play,” as Tony Horton likes to say. I’m much more hopeful that this week will be indicative of what the next 100 days will look like. I’ve got classes that are easy to drop into and a wife who’s joining me through all of that. We’re also signing up for a 5k in a few weeks that’ll provide just a little more incentive to get back in shape. All in all, after a really slow start, I think things will be starting back up here.
So thanks again all for those who kept up with this blog. No promise for any future posts, though I may update when I feel like it. If you see me, feel free to bug me and ask me how things are going. Otherwise, see you at the gym!

What class did you try? You and Jeff should do some gym dates, if that’s what guys call it, to girls everything is a “date”.

We went to Body Pump, which I think we’ll keep doing on Monday nights. I’m looking for another during the week sometime, so I’ll have to find something that Jeff might be interested in.
