Jill La Fleur: You said you liked to be a bit humorous in your blog posts, but you didn't say that you were hysterical!!! This is hysterical!
11.21.09, 10:51PM Harmony Loves: Get it guuurrrl!!! you are going to love and hate it all at the same time.
11.20.09, 11:45PM Erin Cutts: I just started this and just some advice...don't start with the chest/back one or you might not be able to click your shutter the next day...hard core, really hard core!
11.20.09, 9:11AM Marissa Rodriguez: OMG you will love this program! It's going to kick your butt and then laugh in your face for the first few weeks but it's so worth it! I tried it last year, I got to the 3rd week but I got sick and couldn't continue but I plan on starting it again in a few months! So glad that you're going to try it out, I'll definitely be checking back for updates!
11.17.09, 11:10PM Amelia Thornton: aaaaaaaaaah ha ha ha ha - Jessica, you are hilarious!
11.17.09, 9:17PM a little bit of whimsy photography: husband brought it home.. i tried the first day.. looked pitiful.. he said.."maybe this is not the program for you.." as he watched me!
day two.. he started alone in the basement.. no lie.. i walked down there and i thought he was going to throw up or pass out.. as he sat in the chair after about 5 min. of working out..
after the apology we both worked at it and got better.. hard to stick with it pass 90 but if you don't body will creep back to what it was or worst..
key i think is to do what you can.. you will like it!! keep us posted!!
nice to have you back..
11.17.09, 9:50AM Rhonda Brunson: Good Luck! You will love it.
"Do your best.... and forget the rest."
11.17.09, 8:04AM Angel: This is a great! Great! GREAT! workout. Have fun with it. Pretend you are a workout junkie getting your fix. 11.17.09, 6:50AM
Reata Knieriemen: Seriously. You are too freaking funny!
Good Luck with P90X... I've heard wonderfully scary stuff about it. :)
11.17.09, 2:21AM Jonathan: This is cute
11.16.09, 11:15PM Tamara: I actually have these dvd's on the way. It could be an adventure that we have together. I've heard these are pretty hardcore as well. My workouts are weak so we'll see how well I can do. It'll be good for me.
11.16.09, 4:48PM Heather: I try to ignore the commercials for P90X and remain blissfully in denial about my rear :) I had a baby in May so I figure I have an excuse at least until the New year, I may have to revisit my denial then.
11.16.09, 3:07PM Brian Calabrese: You will LOOOOOOVE this program. i am in phase 3 it WILL change your life.. amazing results.. just DO NOT weigh yourself.. take the measurements and photos.. go by that.. good luck
11.16.09, 3:00PM PAtty Boge: LOL... I always read, never comment, but the last paragraph just begged for a comment! Too funny!
11.16.09, 1:00PM Ooti: You're hilarious. I keep hearing about P90X everywhere I go. I guess I'll see how it works for you since I'm sure there will be pictures. Good luck! :)
11.16.09, 11:59AM teila: It hear great things about P90X. We have a copy of it and although I'm too scared to try it my husband has a few times and he looks like he's going to vomit half way through. So have fun with that.....I'll prey for you! haahaa jk you'll rock it.
11.16.09, 11:50AM Vanessa: Hilarious! Thx for the laugh. I love that you're blogging more often! I hope to get a chance to attend another one of your workshops someday!
11.15.09, 7:17PM Lacy Dagerath: Hey Jess (& Jeff) Try www.fitday.com. It has helped me keep track of everything I eat/what percentages I have to eat of protein/carbs/fat... and has shown me when i eat too little or too much. etc It tells you how many calories you burn doing NOTHING all day..and how many calories you have to eat to LOSE weight. I lost 5.6 lbs the first week I did it... seriously. The only thing that has helped me lose in the last several years. and its free. www.fitday.com :) if you guys need help setting it up, shoot me an email.
11.15.09, 5:44PM Ray: Love the photo of you miniaturized. Good luck shedding those pounds. ;o)
11.15.09, 4:57PM Nicole: I know so many people who do these workouts and they just seem so hardcore!
11.15.09, 7:50AM Greer Rivera : I just started the P90X workouts and they are INSANE! I can't do them everyday but occassionally is better then never! Keep up the good work! Isn't the instructor creepy? EXTREME!! haha
11.14.09, 9:17PM Marianne: There is some Kempo going on in my living room right now. p90x is the hardest workout I think I have ever done.
11.14.09, 10:36AM Pat Bloomfield: But look how amazing you'll look afterwards :-)
11.14.09, 10:13AM Ricki Ford: You will love! Well I do, I have been doing it for about 6 months now and it really works....
11.14.09, 7:35AM honesteagurl: i so enjoy you :)
i stumbled on your page through someone else page and have kept coming back since.
thank you.
11.14.09, 4:27AM Amy Martin: Maybe you can bring it to Mexico and have a work out class at the hacienda!! haha!!!!
11.14.09, 1:37AM Janelle Zeller: the first two weeks you want to DIE, but if you endure the results are AMAZING!!
11.13.09, 9:30PM Amanda: Ah! Me and my Hubby are planning on starting this soon! I'm a little nervous to see how horrible it really is :S So your not alone!
11.13.09, 5:23PM Kimberly : DO NOT!! I repeat DO NOT do any of these exercises for the first time the day before or even two days before a wedding. When I did the legs the first time I couldn't put my socks 2 days later. After a week or two of letting your body adjust, then you won't have to worry about the recovery time so much. Good luck with it. I wound up quitting half way through because of the time investment. Crossfit has insainly hard and FAST workouts that give pretty awesome results.
11.13.09, 2:43PM Tina: Today I am walking like a 90 year old after a Body Sculpting /Abs workout at my new gym. This post is hilarious! You look great by the way.
11.13.09, 1:00PM KeyonnaRenea: I've heard so many good things about this workout system, can't wait to see ur progress :)
11.13.09, 12:43PM imthiaz houseman: this is the funniest post! i love the photo of yourself. i've heard nothing but good things about that DVD, keep us posted. i haven't tired it yet.
11.13.09, 12:37PM Bobbie Brown: Hahahhaha! I find this post hysterical, especially the picture of you! Love it!
11.13.09, 12:28PM Dee: ack! P90X! Good luck! I can't wait to hear what you think about it.
11.13.09, 12:27PM Lesslie: You're gonna love them once you start and you will get addicted to working out!!! Plus, you can't beat the high you get from the endorphines.
11.13.09, 12:00PM kim james: couldn't even make it throught the yoga. killed my self esteem and am left with the ass. I think its more about willingness than ability and I am still looking for some.
11.13.09, 11:47AM Mandy Brown: I do P90X as well and it sucks at first, and sometimes I want to punch Tony (the instructor) in the face but I enjoy it more than a regular gym workout. Good luck!
11.13.09, 11:39AM Tricia: Been there, done that! Hurts like a mother, but the end result is so worth it--stick to it and you'll start seeing things change in two weeks or less!! GOOD LUCK! :-)
11.13.09, 9:34AM Bridget Sharp: Jessica, you are so crazy! It's this kind of craziness that keeps me coming back for more!
11.13.09, 9:31AM Sandra: J, I did this workout and while it may kill you it's totally worth it. I never felt better. Do your best and forget the rest:)
11.13.09, 9:13AM caroline: From talking to friends, you will either love or hate Tony Horton. I tended to go back and forth, depending on what he wanted me to do (are you KIDDING with this side-tri-rise business?!?!). Generally, I found him pretty hilarious - at one point, he says you'll be throwing 100 punches. Which he totally goes over, and says, "I don't know how to count, but I know how to punch!"
11.13.09, 9:05AM Amber: You need prayer, a partner and pills...lots and lots of pills!
I have been doing P90x for 5 months now and totally love it!! You will too.
11.13.09, 8:07AM Amy: You may hate this for the first two weeks, but you will start to love it! I promise! I'm so excited for you. And I'm thrilled you'll be blogging more! I've been a total blog stalker of yours. I love learning from your shots and your life. And basically, you rock. So great job with that. Rock out these workouts! I'm doing them as well as soon as I stop coughing like a mad woman from our family's most recent illness!
11.13.09, 7:28AM Andrea: Ohh..good luck! You can do it :) Just don't plan anything the day after the leg workout. I was in the worst physical agony of my life! (but it's sooo worth it though).
11.13.09, 7:13AM Clair: 1st time commenter... blog stalker :)
P90x was great for the 90 days before our wedding. It was very hard to keep wanting to do it, and we ended up stopping 1 week before the wedding because of time, but you will end up cussing the actors and making up stories about them and how Tony (the main guy) is sleeping with "certain" girls... you will see once you have 60 days into it... Makes it more fun! You start quoting him... it worked but not of course like the gurus on the dvd, but... it did tone us, we felt.
If you are so tempted, as my husband did, you might purchase the "recovery drink", taste just like an orange julius! (but not as good!) Good Luck.
Best thing to remember... you don't have to do ALL of it every day... just do as much as you want/can.
Stupid Abs takes over your life!

:-)
11.13.09, 4:42AM kelly beane: Keep updating us! I've heard wonderful things and really want to do it, but haven't even got the energy to order it online. ;) Love the photos!
11.13.09, 12:09AM Wendy: Hilarious. Ok, now you've motivated me. After two kids, things have, um, migrated. I have been *thinking* about working out again. Maybe I need to stop thinking and start doing. Yeah, totally.
11.12.09, 11:28PM Oksana J.: Tooo funny..i really have to start working out too. Love the mini jessica picture!
11.12.09, 11:01PM Hannah: Oh, that's hilarious!
I seem to see these DVDs everywhere across the blogosphere. I think I might just need to check them out...
Good luck1
11.12.09, 10:51PM Erin J: *comes out of hiding* Good Luck! I did it one day & that was enough for me. I could barely walk for a week!! My sister & BIL swear buy it though :)
11.12.09, 10:22PM Ariel: You really need to have an accountability partner in order for you to do this. They are extremely difficult! But best of luck to you because you can definitely see results! 11.12.09, 10:05PM
Melissa Papaj: Definitely keep me informed...my hubby has been doing the abs one for two weeks now and he is already looking awesome...I just sit and watch while I eat my Caramello - why not, my thighs like that better anyway??? :)
11.12.09, 9:58PM Angel Canary: Ha! I heard that was a HARD core workout! Do share!! It's funny how we don't really pay attention to our weight until the second shooter takes a not so flattering shot showing every fold and roll. I so give myself digital plastic surgery!
11.12.09, 9:45PM Kate Callahan: hmmm ... maybe I need this. I ALWAYS photoshop my butt!!!!
11.12.09, 9:05PM michelle sidles: SO exciting! I always almost cave and order when I see this informercial!! :P
11.12.09, 9:03PM Crystal Toole: I just started last week. I HATE Yoga, but I do it cause I guess it will help me loose my side and tummy that has creeped up on me after 7 years of marriage! But really it is awesome, two weeks and I can feel the difference!
11.12.09, 8:50PM Lesley Dykes: I'm on day 26. Loving it so far. I already see results. "Bring it"! :)
11.12.09, 8:42PM Rosa: I can't wait to hear. I've been tempted by those commercials. I watched them whenever I've flipped the channel to the infomercial. We've also discussed get the Shaun T workout--Insanity.
11.12.09, 8:18PM Amy: it's intense....I've done it. it's also awesome
11.12.09, 8:06PM Christina Lee: Best of luck Jessica!
I just started a Zumba class tonight after being horrified at my own pictures of my face, butt, stomach, etc.
I hear P90x is great though!
11.12.09, 8:00PM Krystal: LOL! That was very cute! Can't wait to hear what you think of the program. I've thought about it...and that's about as far as I've gone! Good luck!
11.12.09, 7:59PM angel swanson: you're gonna love it; i promise! kenpo x is my favorite. you will not believe how much you can sweat... LOL. the best is cracking up at tony's ridiculous commentary. let me know when you hear him liken himself to a pterodactyl. awesome.
11.12.09, 7:51PM Erica Velasco: Be careful with this...not that you don't look fabulous already...those workouts are hard for body builders! Take it easy on yourself!
11.12.09, 7:31PM Kate: I almost did P90X recently but did Insanity (also by Beachbody) instead because I didn't have to buy weights and it's only 60 days. I'm just finishing. It's the hardest thing I've ever done physically but my body is very different and I feel like my heart is so healthy now. You should definitely check out Insanity. I loved it!
11.12.09, 7:31PM Andrea: WOW! P90X is a very advanced work-out program! My super-fit boyfriend tried to do it for three months and it nearly killed him (okay, maybe not that bad...but still). I'm wishing you all the best though! Maybe you could even post before/middle/after pictures to track your progress! 11.12.09, 7:22PM
Stephanie : This is Hilarious, but all those commercials make me want to try it too but it looks so scary
11.12.09, 7:17PM CL Steele: I laughed so hard at this! I just started this workout again earlier today and was hurting from it when I read this. I too am hating those zombies right now! I will say this about it - it freakin works - but it's hard as hell. I did it for 3 weeks the last time and was seeing results and feeling great, then life started kicking my ass and I stop doing it. Big mistake. Once you stop and take a few months off, week one hurts you just as bad as it did the first time. Stick with it, it does get easier, and like I said...it works!
11.12.09, 6:31PM Kristin: I've heard p90X is pretty terrifying, you might wanna try Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred first. I had been working out for awhile before I tried that 1 and even it almost killed me and I've heard p90X is WAY worse. I think it would probably kill me...
11.12.09, 6:23PM April: You go. I think I'll just stick to training for the Mercedes Half Marathon!
11.12.09, 5:55PM ella: my roommate does this workout and it is hilarious and annoying at the same time to watch him do it (hilarious because of some of the exercises and annoying because of tony horton). the meal plan is extremely difficult for working individuals. i'd definitely take some of the other advice left on your comments and only do half the workout for at least the first month! good luck!!! 11.12.09, 5:46PM
amyc: Have fun! It is quite tough! I have only done one here and there, but am considering starting the whole program. 11.12.09, 5:33PM
kymberli q.: I entered a weight loss challenge with 700 people in our city and I've lost 22 lbs in 11 weeks with just watching my calories and exercising 3-4 times a week. So unless you're going to eat right, no exercise program is going to help that much. Just "food for thought"! LOL
11.12.09, 5:07PM krista : eek, i've heard of this terrifying set. perhaps this should be my new year's resolution...
11.12.09, 4:43PM Bryan: Yeah! I've tried to do the 90 days four times. I'm about to start again on Monday with an accountability system of three friends. Advice: for the first month at least, do only half the workouts each time. Avoid burnout.
11.12.09, 4:43PM Heather Green: The hardest part for us to do P90X was finding the time. I have Crohn's Colitis and with that comes joint problems. I was able to do all of the workouts (except couldn't get through the whole YogaX, I thought I was going to die, lol). It's not bad if you're able to squeeze in the time, and you do see results. Good luck! :)
11.12.09, 4:41PM ashley: get it girl! i have attempted this SEVERAL times. you can do it!!!! you might have inspired me to give it another shot!!
11.12.09, 4:40PM Jean: I did the shred DVD ONE time. That all I have to say about that! 11.12.09, 4:38PM
David: I've been through this, too. I'll pray for you ...
11.12.09, 4:38PM laura im: website update from earlier post:
http://evinauraphoto.blogspot.com/2008/07/wildflower-triathlon-may-2-4-2008.html
11.12.09, 4:33PM
Sabrina: Ha ha! This makes me laugh. I keep saying I need to do these. I have the very scary DVDs at my house too. I just have the hardest time getting into the routine and die by about the 4th day. Also Tony Horton drives me crazy so I do the PIP thing on tv and do them while watching my regular tv shows.
11.12.09, 4:28PM Tasha G: Good luck with those dvd's, they are hardcore!
11.12.09, 4:25PM jamie gower: GO JESS - you will LOVE It! SO hard, but will give you a whole new confidence about yourself and what you are able to accomplish. and yes, like Lauren said... you cannot argue with the results. YOU GO GIRL, X Style!
11.12.09, 4:22PM britt: the incredible shrinking woman meets Fitness Fright -
whoa.
this made me laugh. i had to say something....
11.12.09, 4:22PM laura im: haha! if you ever get bored of those two, and need a workout partner, shoot me an email. I'm local to OC, actually live 5 minutes from your new shootsac store in SA. check out the link, I'm the chica with the goofy helmet and the backpack. ;-)
11.12.09, 4:22PM Rhonda: Hey! Thanks for the post! I've really got to get off my bum and get moving on the X again. Just know that the first week is the toughest... it gets better.
11.12.09, 4:18PM Tonya: been dying to hear if people like these...the infomorcial is on every morning in the gym.. 11.12.09, 4:18PM
Ayesha-Bedazzled Photography: That picture is hilarious. I know am definitely not alone in this then. Trying to lose for my wedding uughh.
11.12.09, 4:18PM Carrie Roseman: Yea, baby! Rockin' it X style! That's how I lost 15 pounds and am able to wear skinny jeans and backless shirts once again! Rock on!
11.12.09, 4:12PM elizabeth Pellette: God Bless you Jessica.. my husband has this DVD set and I have watched him do some of the workouts on said dvd's and can I just say.. I have determined that I hate the P90X guy.. and I am not even doing the workouts.. I wish you much luck in your endeavor you are a far braver woman than I.
11.12.09, 4:06PM Emilie: ROTFL!!!!!!!!!! I'm scared of those 2 zombies!!! hahaha
11.12.09, 4:01PM liana: Haha. Mike's brother gave their set to us. We haven't attempted it yet. We even choose getting up at 5AM for a Boot Camp 4 days a week in the mud over this. We may try the diet your brother in law recommended instead :)
11.12.09, 3:58PM Mandie: Ooooh, best of luck! I look forward to hearing how it goes!
11.12.09, 3:58PM Lacy: x baby!!!!! recovery drink, yeah!!!!
11.12.09, 3:51PM Lauren Crider: I own them Jessica. waterboarding is preferable to the pain that these videos will cause, especially in the first few days. But...you can't argue with the results.
11.12.09, 3:48PM Michael Wachniak: at least I know I'm not alone ;) I started up p90x 2 weeks ago... I think I went into a coma the first day... but now its not so bad... just keep it up! :)
11.12.09, 3:46PM
