I read Allen Carr’s “The Easy Way to Stop Smoking.” This describes the leadup and my first week as a non-smoker.

I started smoking when I was 18 or 19. I picked the habit up casually because my high school crush smoked. Later she complained about having a hard time quitting and I wanted to prove to her that quitting was easy if she put her mind to it. I ran track and cross country all four years of high school, so smoking was a no brainer for me.

At the time of writing this article, I have been smoking and drinking steadily for 11 years. I have not worked out since high school when I ran track. Somehow I have managed to stay thin, but thin does not equal healthy.

I jumped into my first day of P90X with chest and back. The next day I couldn’t hardly move my upper body. Two days later it was even worse. I had to skip days between workouts because I was physically unable to move. After a few weeks of this I decided to go online and figure out how other people get started with P90X. This article outlines my advice on how to get started with P90X.
