Welcome!

We didn't get this way overnight and it's not going to change tonight. We are a couple on a mission to change ourselves from the inside out. We feel it is necessary that you know a bit about our pasts as well as our current standings.

Him:
  • Age 30
  • 5'10"
  • 176 pounds
  • He can be considered a junk-food-junkie. Favorite places to eat include Taco Johns, McDonalds, Burger King... the list continues.
  • No real athletic background

Her:
  • Age 28
  • 5'10"
  • 138 pounds
  • Loves vegetables, fruits and anything lean. Although it's a love, after three children and poor choices, there's extra fats that don't need to be stored.
  • Ran Cross Country in High School
As a couple, their goal is to not only support, but challenge one another into flipping their entire lifestyle. Small changes have been made along the way, but big ones are necessary.

The Plan:

As a couple, we've decided to modify the P90X exercise program to tailor our individual needs. He will be running the classic program while I will run the lean program. Not only are we bettering our lives, we get the opportunity to spend some great quality time together. Much of his exercise regiment will include muscle building, strengthening and endurance. I will focus on slimming out a few problem areas, building endurance and toning.

The Diet:

We will be working with the P90X dietary guide, though a few things will be traded out as we cater to our own needs. Instead of eating a protein bar as a snack, we'll be incorporating more fruits and vegetables through smooties. Vitamins, minerals and protein powder will be used. We will share more of those as we continue forward. We've also opted to not include most soups. As we are already experiencing decent warmth in the season, we will adjust and modify our meals accordingly.

The Outcome:

Our goal is to transform our lifestyle and ourselves over the next 90 days. It's going to be an interesting ride, but we are certainly up for the challenge.

We have taken before photographs and will share those soon. For now, we must begin prepping out all the fruits and vegetables we will be eating and drinking over the next week. We will bid farewell to our past selves and embrace the transformation into healthier, more energetic selves as workout begins tomorrow!
