P90X....I'm scared

Picked up P90X today. I need to do my fitness test, pictures, and measurements tonight and then tomorrow I'll start it. I'm scared. I've been so tired lately that I'm not sure what to expect. Looking forward to the challenge but at the same time thinking it would be so nice to be lazy and say that I'm happy at my current weight.

Well...I am happy at my current weight I'm just not at THE weight yet and really I'm just making excuses for not doing what I know that I need to do to reach my goal and to be in better shape.

So here I go no more excuses tomorrow I'm doing it. If I struggle with it then I struggle with it so be it. I will complete it and I will do it all the way through. I WILL reach my goal and I will come out at the other end a better person for it. It's very possible that if I continue to work hard that I could get this last 20ish lbs off for good and end the year in a better place physically.

Ok so here I go...off to do my fitness test and all that. If I'm feeling brave I'll post those stats later for everyone.

***********************************************************************************

Added my stats around 10pm tonight so here it goes:

Here are my current measurements:

Weight: 172.5lbs
Waist: 33.5 inches
Hips: 39 inches
Chest: 38 inches
R & L Arm: 11.5 inches
R & L Thigh: 23 inches

My Fit Test before starting P9OX are the following:

Pull-ups: 0
Vertical Leap: 10 inches
Push-Ups: 4
Toe Touch: 7 Inches beyond my toes
Wall Squat: 1 min 2 seconds
Bicep Curls: 100 curls with a 5 lb weight
In & Outs (ab test): 25

I am pretty pleased with all that. I didn't get the resting heart rate and that stuff since I don't have a heart rate monitor and I suck at taking my own pulse, but overall I'm pretty pleased with what I could do. I could do pull-ups with the help of a chair (like they show in the video) but I didn't count those and all I had was a 5lb weight so I guess I'll need to get some bigger ones or I'll be doing a whole lot of reps with some light weights. I also took starting pictures but at the moment I'm feeling kinda hesistant to post those. Maybe in 30 days I'll post some update pictures along with my current pictures pre-workout.
