Hi Again Everyone,

As promised, I’m going to start posting my previous journal entries. I will indent them so they are easy to distinguish from my “commentary”.

Here’s the first entry. Short but sweet. Of course, at the time, I had no idea what this was going to become…

My Personal Declaration of Independence

Well, I’ve determined to take the P90X Prep and Fit Test tomorrow, begin the P90X program on Independence Day, and honor the U.S.A.’s founders and founding ideals by declaring my own Independence from my recent sedentary lifestyle and the resulting feeling of physical weakness!

I will use this journal to record my experiences with P90X and hold myself accountable.

‘Til tomorrow…

The P90X Prep and Fit Test is essentially broken up into two parts: the Prep part and the Fit part. My next post will detail my experience with the P90X Prep Test.

Hello All and Welcome to RippedNRich.oRg!!!

It was a month ago today, July 4th, 2007, that I announced my Personal Declaration of Independence from a sedentary lifestyle and the resulting feeling of physical weakness, and I began the P90X Extreme Home Fitness Program.

My experience with P90X began well before I actually began the program, as there was a fair amount of preparation involved. However, despite all the preparation, I never anticipated that, a month into the P90X program, it would become the focus of my life.

The P90X program itself is fantastic. I am impressed with each and every workout that I complete. I have already experienced great gains physically, mentally, and emotionally as a result of P90X. However, I was anticipating this.

What I was not anticipating was the community associated with P90X, of which I am now a part, and the financial opportunity associated with P90X, which I am now pursuing. The community of which I speak is the Million Dollar Body Community. The financial opportunity of which I speak is the Million Dollar Body Coaching Program.

This website and blog are a testament to the impact that P90X and the Million Dollar Body Community and Coaching Program has already had on my life.

I have been keeping a journal of my P90X experience and, as it turns out, Million Dollar Body experience. With my excitement for P90X and Million Dollar Body growing every day, I have decided to make my journal public by means of this blog so that others can learn from my experience and decide whether they too want to “Bring It!” with P90X and/or Million Dollar Body.

I will begin this blog by editing my previous journal entries and posting those at the rate of a couple per day. Once I get caught up to the present day, I will continue posting in “real time”, so to speak.

The P90X program is broken up into three phases and runs for a total of 90 days (hence the 90 in P90X). I just completed the first phase and intend to be caught up with the posts at the end of the 90 days.

I have big plans for this website and blog. For starters, I will soon set up a mailing list that will deliver my posts directly to your inbox. Until then, be sure to bookmark the blog, subscribe to the RSS feed, and visit often.

My next few posts will detail my experience with the P90X Prep and Fit Test.

Bring It!
