Before Pics, Measurements, and More Humilation

Tonight has been a great night! They let us go home a couple hours early for the holiday weekend so I was doing the fit test by 3:30. B was annoying as expected - trying to tell me how to do things differently than the guide I had printed out instructed me, watching People's Court instead of paying attention to my times, etc. Finally got through everything, though, with the following results.

• Resting heart rate: 66
• Pull-ups: I don't have a pull-up bar and will be using resistance bands for my workouts as demonstrated by this guy, so I didn't do this test but I did try out the bands and they worked great.
• Vertical leap: 7 [recommended minimum: 3]
• Push-ups: 15 [recommended minimum: 15 and I hate hate hate push-ups so I pretty much quit there]
• Toe touch: +3 [recommended minimum: -6]
• Wall squat: 1:17 [recommended minimum: 1 minute]
• Bicep Curls: 32 with 5 lb weights [recommended minimum: 10 with 8 lb weights]
• In and Outs: 34 [recommended minimum: 25]

So, I passed just fine and should be good to go with the workout. I really hope to see improvement in all areas by the end of the 90 days.

I also took my measurements:

• Waist - 32.5
• Hips - 38.5
• Right bicep - 12.5
• Left bicep - 12.5
• Right thigh - 21
• Left thigh - 21.5
• Bust - 40

I will weigh myself in the morning before I work out for my official starting point.

Ok, I have put it off long enough. I said I would post my before pictures, so I will. It's terribly embarrassing, so I think I will post an even more disgusting, embarrassing picture first so that my other pics look impressive by comparison! LOL!

Here's where I was about 4.5 years ago:

Horrifying, right?? Now check out these comparatively awesome pics, which will be my starting point for my P90X journey:







Now I better get to bed so I can get up bright and early for some Core Synergistics! Woohoo! Wish me luck.
