My P90X Goals!

P90X is all about setting goals and reaching them. So I thought I'd take a few minutes to go over what my goals are for the next 87 days.

1. My number one goal is to just get into better shape. I want to feel like I am making a conscious effort to live healthy and be more active. I am not as concerned about how I look as much as how I treat my body. I want to stay fit well into old age, so I have to start taking care of it.

Before P90X I got ZERO exercise besides walking to and from my car and walking around the grocery store. Working in an office environment, it was easy to let myself become lazy and out of shape. Every once in a while (like once every couple months) I would try going to the gym and running on a treadmill but I had no goals and was really lacking the motivation to keep going.

2. I would REALLY like to see some changes in my lower body. I have always been a bit pear shaped. All my fat goes straight to my butt and thighs and I feel like I am out of proportion. I have always had a slim upper half, and I want to stop blaming my shape on genetics and actually DO something about it.

I would like to see some of the jiggliness (is that a word?) disappear from my butt and hamstring area. I do have a bit of cellulite there that I would LOVE to get rid of. I really would like those areas to become firmer and more toned. I would like my outer thighs to shrink a bit too, hopefully maybe losing one or 2 pant sizes.

3. More defined muscles in the rest of my body. I would love to be able to see some ab definition and more toned arm muscles. I feel like I would look a lot better if I was toned up top instead of just 'skinny' looking.

4. Better eating habits. I am hoping this program will help me live a better eating lifestyle. I have always just eaten whatever was available and never gave too much thought to nutrition. Skipping breakfast was common and even forgetting to eat dinner  (or replacing it with junk food) happened occasionally. I want to make sure I am giving my body the nutrition it needs to stay healthy for a long long time!

I think that's pretty much it! I am really excited to see if I can meet some of these goals, and now that I have it in writing I will definitely push myself to stick with it!
