Fit Enough?

Ok, did the official start of P90X this morning with the question am I fit enough to handle the program. If you had asked me that question 15 years ago, heck even 10 years ago, I would have laughed at you. I was a basketball player in high school and some in college. We ran miles a day and did calisthenics on top of that. We only had a couple of weeks "off" a year and I loved it. I had abs of steel, legs that some guys said might snap you in half, and better than Madonna arms (mine were not all veiny). I then went to college, stopped playing ball, and things went down hill from there. I no longer had someone telling me I had to work out all the time. I didn't realize at first that I needed that motivation. I also didn't realize that the eating habits I had to support our work-out regime was way to much to keep my weight down. As the years went by I would try here and there to lose weight, but it never seemed to happen.
I also found out I have poly cystic ovarian syndrome when I turned 18. I was told then to not gain weight. Oh well. Some people say I don't listen well. They told me that if I did gain weight it would be especially hard for me to lose it due to my hormones being so out of whack. Man were they right.
Now I'm up to a whopping 185 and can't run a full mile anymore. So back to P90X and am I fit enough. Well I have done a few of the dvd's with a friend and knew that it was tough and I couldn't do all the reps that they did, but I could make it through them. Tomorrow is gonna be the first day that I do them on my own and I had to do the fit test and initial pictures today. Guess what! I passed and I could actually do more than what was asked of me on some of the items. I'm just gonna say now though that I hate push-ups! Always have. Even when I was at my prime it was hard for me to do full push-ups. Add in the fact that I have broken a wrist and had to have it surgically repaired (it doesn't like to bend like it used to) and I weight much more than I used to and you get me just getting through a measly 3 push-ups before I said fewwy on you and gave up. Did I forget to mention that I hate push-ups?
So again I passed the fit test and then had to do the pictures. I love photography and taking pictures, but I hate having my own picture taken. I have not taken a good picture since my senior pictures and before then it was when I was 3. I know that these pictures are horrid. I had my hubby take them for me and I couldn't even bring myself to look at them. How sad is that? I don't think I'll be posting those any time soon. As my BFF is doing, I think I'll wait and see the results after day 30 or 60. Then I might post them so that you can wish you could gouge your eyes out with a rusty spoon. I really hope that I see an improvement. Not to torture you, but because I want to look 18 again. LOL.
So I'm fit enough and ready to start this, I just hope that my body is ready for this too. Here's to all of us starting this journey!
