I need a challenge. The trick to keeping yourself motivated when you're trying to loose weight or maintain your results is finding ways to keep it interesting. A nice, hard challenge...something that takes you out of your comfort zone...is just the thing.
So, tomorrow I'm starting my first round of P90X. To be honest, I've tried it before, with little success.
