The New Me

I wanted to capture the essence of where I'm at.  I'm almost finished with my 3rd week of P90X.  It has really done wonders for my mental fortitude as I've explained in earlier posts.  I realize my issues and concerns I must deal with on a daily basis will always be there.  What's different about the "new me" is that I know I've changed.  The change is one of determination and perseverance.  I want to complete P90X.  I started back in November of 2010 and got as far as Day 43 and then I succumbed to an injury.  I continued to flounder over the next few months until something inside of me clicked.  I MUST DO THIS!  

The old me would have given in to stress eating.  Not this time!  Its not happening!  I have a embraced a quote by Maya Angelou, "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude."  Once I realized that I can't change the things around me, and that I can only change my attitude then everything fell into place.  P90X has provided me with the mindset to move out of my comfort zone.  I never cared much for push ups and pull downs; mainly cause I'm not good at them.  But guess what, I'm getting better.  That's exciting!  I'm also lucky I've found others who share my new found obsession of getting through P90X and look forward to connecting with others each day!
