A picture really is worth 1,000 words. Scroll down, if you dare. The picture below shows my dad as of today. He isn’t quite obese, but he’s not exactly “in shape.” Well, round is a shape. This is going to be, hopefully, a documentation of a future success story. My dad has decided to start P90X.
To start, you should know a little bit about my dad. He is 41 years old, and currently works at a car dealership as a parts manager. He is living with his wonderful 16 year old daughter (that would be me) in Florida.
After researching several diet plans, he eventually chose this program. This was because he saw that it did not advertise over night results. It requires a 90 day overhaul, which includes strenuous workouts and a strict nutrition plan. In other words, it’s not simply a diet, but a change in lifestyle.
Before the journey begins, a few apologies from my dad. “Sorry Pizza Hut, you are no longer on our speed dial. Also my sincerest apologies to McDonald’s. No more number #4’s on a Friday night. Minus 1000 calories a week, BOOM! This is going to be easier than I thought. And last, but not least, to Hong Kong. I am really going to miss your egg rolls.”
As you can see, my dad is making a lot of sacrifices to get his youthful body back and regain confidence and self esteem. He hopes to be sporting a six-pack by the end of the 90 day period. Hopefully, he will have no problem sticking to his new lifestyle. Wish him luck! He will be receiving his P90X materials in the mail tomorrow!
“I like pizza, but it don’t like me!”
