My name is Chris McCarty. I am 38 years old and in January 2008, I decided to finally take control of my health, and thus, my life. Look at my Day 1 photo. I am a regular guy. I'm an average Dad of 3 kids. I was just someone who was fed up with feeling horrible and looking at "that" in the mirror. I was just like many of you. I was looking for an answer. A real answer.
After years of trying quick fixes and magic pills (and trust me I tried it ALL) I finally decided to commit myself to P90X.
I had done Power 90 (P90) in the past, but while doing so had never really committed to the program. So, while I became more fit, I did not see great results. But, don't get me wrong, P90 is a great program and definately one to start with if you feel you are really out of shape and not ready for P90X.
Honestly, I was afraid to start P90X. But isn't that true for many of us on many subjects. I don't know about you, but I was afraid to succeed. That is what I have figured out thus far in my journey. I finally realized that it was not about a quick fix, but it was a lifestyle change that I only recently was ready for. I knew if I started to see results that I would have to continue on the program and that would mean giving up some of my worst habits - forever. (well at least 95% of the time)
I am just over 60 days into the program at the writing of this post. I started P90X at 211 pounds and a waist over 40 inches - Yuck. Well, check my pictures and see for yourself. If you follow the program, you get results. Plain and simple. I am currently 192 pounds and have gained muscle mass. I am fitting into jeans that I have not worn in 10 years. CRAZY!
I am still heading toward my goals, so it continues to be a journey for me. But I would love to help you attain your goals. I will write another post as to why I wanted to become a coach for Team Beachbody.
Here is wishing you all GREAT health!
Chris
