My first unassisted pull up...ladies and gentlemen

....and a whole lot of Tony Horton!!
So....I have been doing P90x for approximately one month. I tried it out, on and off, for the first part of the month and then proceeded to get serious the last two weeks. To know me....I have the WEAKEST upper body known to man...and woman. I have been using bands the entire time because, honestly, I never thought I could do a real pull up. BTW, the bands offer a heck of a work out!!! Anyway, even in the best shape of my life, high school, a pull up was not ever happening. It is sad, really!

My mom, who is fit and fabulous, owns a pull up bar. Every time I try, the pull up results in me just hanging there and grunting. I visit her often and attempt to simply do just ONE pull up. Well, on May 31st, 2010....drum roll please.....I DID IT!!!!! I actually did two which included one in the morning and one in the evening. I cannot express how proud I am of myself.

Thank you P90x, Tony Horton, and Beachbody. Gotta love those results!!
