First Post! Starting information, fit test

Alright everybody, I'm starting P90X!  I want to join Utah County Search and Rescue, and they start doing interviews in October.  I have a lot of the skills they look for, but as you all know, I'm a little soft around the midsection :D  That gives me two months to get in shape before a possible interview.

P90X is supposed to deliver that to you.  90 days, they say, to get in the best shape of your life.  That's what I'm counting on!  I'm actually really excited, because SAR gives me a REASON to get in shape.  It's been a long time since I found something I wanted enough to really commit to losing weight and gaining strength.

This is a really difficult program.  It's 1 - 1.5 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 90 days.  It also includes a diet plan that is pretty strict.  I'm planning on following the exercise and diet plans as exactly as I can.

In fact, the program is so hard, they have a fitness test you have to pass before you can start it!  I took it, and will post my results.  I also took pictures they recommend as my "before" pics, and measurements of various body parts.  I'm going to try to post everything, so keep me honest!

Starting Measurements (inches):
Body Fat % (calculated from measurements): 34.31%
Weight: 246.6 lbs
Chest: 46.75
Waist: 47
Hips: 47.25
Right Thigh: 27
Left Thigh: 27.25
Right Arm: 15.25
Left Arm: 15.25
Resting Heart Rate: 58 bpm

Hopefully some of these measurements (weight, waist, hips, RHR) will go down, and some of them (arms, chest, thighs) will go up!!

Starting Pictures:

Check out that belly!  Ugh, hopefully it goes away soon!  I'm looking forward to looking more like my wedding photos!

All right, now that we're all thoroughly grossed out by my appearance, let's do the fit test!  There's several things to test.

Pullups: 3/4 (ugh, seriously?  Not even one??)
Vertical Leap: 15"
Pushups: 25
Toe Touch: -5.5" (that means I'm 5.5" away from being able to reach my toes :P)
Wall Squat (chair pose): 1:07.38
Bicep Curls: 15 @ 27 lbs/arm
In-n-outs (sitting, legs curled, then straighten, then curl again, etc): 35
Then I did jumping jacks as fast as I could for 2 minutes, then checking my heart rate at various times:
Immediately after: 150 bpm
1 minute: 120 bpm
2 minutes: 114 bpm
3 minutes: 108 bpm
4 mintues: 102 bpm

And that's my start!  I'm looking forward to sharing all this with you, and making a change!  I've been a strong fit, person before, and I know that I can do it again.

Make sure that you keep me honest!  It helps to be accountable to people, so you guys are my training group!  I'm planning on doing a post a day, talking about my progress.

See you all in 90 days!
