If I had to constantly refer to a calorie counter to determine what  and how much I could eat, I go berserk..
I just can’t subject myself to that kind of prison.. instead I just do my best to eat sensibly, since I’m the chief cook in the house, I can control what I eat (and everyone else).  Because I can’t cook 6 times a day,  I consume a lot of protein bars, and have Shakeology for breakfast and as a late afternoon snack on “strength training” days..(YOU NEED PROTEIN)  my cooking …

OK.. I’m not “Hot”  (except to my wife) but I did make the most of what God gave.. and I started late in life.
Getting your body in shape over 40 is simpler that you think, but not easy.. does that make sense?
Let me explain.. 
Simple…to get in shape you need a plan and one that works. Don’t just make up your own exercise routine, Ive tried that it just doesn’t work.  You’ll end up setting exercise limits for yourself, and the only thing those limits accomplish, is to limit your success.

So what I did was buy what were going to be my “skinny” jeans. so I went out and bought a pair of 30 inch waist Levis.
I had already lost a bunch of weight, but didn’t want to buy some temporary jeans, instead I thought i would walk around in my current, now over-sized jeans, …

After 60 days, I must say I’m pretty impressed with the P90X program…
I know anyone reading this probably wants the bottom line.. so after 60 days
lost 11 pounds and 2 inches off my waist..
there are other things I don’t really have measurements for.. like chest, and arms.. but I can tell you I’ve firmed up everywhere, and get stronger all the time.
While I STILL can’t do all the exercises the way Tony Horton (P90X creator) does, I make progress and have settled into a routine that works for me.
I workout …
