New guy, doing P90X

Options
Hi, I'm from England and I'm on my second day of P90X & wondered if there's anyone else just starting this or a similar programme? It's my second attempt. I completed two months before but had to stop due to illness. Also, this time I won't be following the meal plan as I just don't get the energy I need to work out from low carb diets.

Would be nice to meet others on a similar journey. Best Wishes, Richard.

    im currently on day 3 of P90x lean.
    i got to about day 20, but then went on holiday and gained a few pounds.
    so i decided that if i carried on then my end result would be about 20 days worse of that it should be..
    so i decided just to start again from the beginning.
    Although im struggling to push play everyday..
    its such a long exercise, and i have to pause it so much that i end up having to set aside like 3 hours each day for it..
    have to admit im starting to give up a little =[
    could really do with some motivation to keep me going.

    Congrats on starting again! I'm on my 3rd day of P90X lean and posting each day after I complete a workout is a great way to keep me motivated and accountable. While I'd like to lose 8-10 more pounds, I'm really interested in toning up and get rid of that "goo" as Tony puts it. While no every exercise is fun, I can honestly say that I have never regretted a workout. I try to create small goals like telling myself that "I only have 3 more days to go until I complete week 1" instead of saying "I've only got 87 more days to go." Naturally 3 more days sounds more attainable.

    Let's keep each other accountable. The best is yet to come!
