I saw the creators of p90X, insanity, etc now have an on demand option for all of their programs. Has anyone tried it out yet? It comes to $40/quarter and my work has a reimbursement program for gym memberships or weight loss programs which I'm sure I could get this to qualify under one or the other. I've seen the P90X program DVDs years ago but never borrowed them long enough to do the whole program. It looks like they have a good mix of yoga, strength, and cardio programs. I work out in a low ceiling basement so I can't jump very high without my hands going through the ceiling and I have nothing to mount a chin up bar to. Would these programs still be worth it?

I need help getting back to disciplined eating. Four years ago I began a slow, consistently downward drop in weight that resulted in a loss of 60 pounds followed by a year of maintenance over a 3 year period. Since then I just can't get back into the healthy eating mode and have put 10-15 pounds back on. I am more likely to do "pain eating" than stress eating. I have knee and foot problems that can really kick my butt the day after cross-fit and/or volleyball and these can lead to treats to make me feel better. Even a slow walk on a track can leave me sore for a few hours or a day. I have had on and off chronic knee pain since I was 15 or so. My motivation is I want to have my walking endurance adequate to walk everywhere I want to go if I ever make it to Europe. I also want to have my body looking good enough that I don't hesitate to be in the pictures that are taken. Being able to sprint to balls in volleyball would be a bonus. Speaking of motivation, I would like to get feeling good enough that I am motivated to get the things that need to get done, like housework and yard work, done. Main Quest Drop 8 pounds by end of 6 weeks (as a start to continued self-improvement) and have good eating habits in place Quest 1 Each week do Crossfit, volleyball, yoga, or complete Beginner Body Weight Workout at least 5 days (hoping to get bench press up to 120) Quest 2 Limit my caffeine (regular coffee & decaf, tea, and chocolate) to 10am or earlier (did I mention the sleep issues?) Quest 3 Enter all my Paleo based meals at home (I don't eat out much) into MyFitnessPal so I can make sure I'm getting enough protein and other nutrients and not too much of the bad stuff.
