Great article on blogging.....

Just thought I would share this real quick. It's a great article on blogging.

I know that this blog has not been a consistent thing for me. I started this blog as an experiment in social media. I also started a video blog at youtube.com/bgdaddy55. I'm just playing around, trying to find out who I want to be when I grow up.

Good stuff. This might be my last entry. Take care.

It's official........

I'm a sicko.

I went to the doctor today; I am just having the hardest time moving around. Totally lathargic. I want to do p90x, but I just don't have the energy.

Diagnosis: Acute Chronic Sinusitis

Prognosis: Good; just take your antibiotic.

Took my first pill tonight at 8 PM and hoping to get my mojo back so I can start working out again. Let's hope.

Playgrounds Schmaygrounds

Hi All,
I haven't been on in a while and I have some really good reasons (see excuses) for not doing my p90x. None of them are good, but they are all real.

Reason #1: I was sick. I just couldn't muster up the stamina to take on the rigorous workout of p90x. After about 4 days of being sick, I

Reason #2: Decided to play in the yard with my kids instead of working out. It has been a gorgeous spring around here and we've been outside a lot. It's been just too nice to try it.

Reason #3: Our new neighbor, who moved here from out of state, bought the ginormous playground set from Costco and I have been helping him put it together. I mean, would you let someone try to tackle that by themselves?

Well, Playground Schmayground. After a full week off, I am back at it. It was so tough today. I actually had to pause the DVD and go downstairs for some grape juice. I hit the wall with about 18 minutes left in p90x Chest and Back.

Now, sunburned and worn out, I am off to bed. I really hope that I make p90x a priority in my life. Not just tomorrow, but every day.

'Nite all!

It's been a while.....

Hey, sorry to those of you coming by every now and then. I got busy this week and didn't make a single post about p90x. Yikes.

Well, here's an update. I lost some more weight. I am now down in the high 230's (239, to be exact). I am almost in the best shape of my life. I'm not quite there yet compared to when I played football in college, but it's getting close.

My diet has been a roller coaster. I am so good for 4 days in a row, and then bad for 2 days in a row. I just can't shake the weekend eating disease. I'm going to get a handle on it. I swear.

Tomorrow starts week 10. Bring it!

60 Day Fit Test Results

After my last post, I decided to do something proactive. Instead of totally getting down on myself for a long weekend of gluttony, I decided to assess how far I've come so far with p90x. Since it's almost 11:00 pm, I decided that I would forgo trying to catch up with a Kenpo X workout and just do the fit test.

The p90x fit test is the low water mark of where I was physically before I started p90x. If you are wondering if p90x is right for you, you will definitely want to do the fit test. I barely made it into the program. Looking back, I think I would have tried Power 90 first, then p90x. Hindsight is always 20/20.

Here are my numbers from Day 60. Actually, I'm on about Day 56, but who's counting. I didn't do Vertical Leap because I didn't have anyone to measure for me. My wife went to bed around 10:30.

Exercise Day 0 Day 60 Net Gain/Loss
Pull Ups 3 3 Goose Egg
Push Ups 30 40 +10
Toe Touch -1 inch + 1/2 inch +1 1/2 inches
Wall Squat 1 min. 16 secs 3 min 1 sec +1 min 45 secs
Bicep Curls 30 @ 25 lbs 11 @ 40 lbs. Not sure
In & Outs 40 60 +20

Heart Rate Maximizer: This is where you do fast jumping jacks for 1 min. 30 seconds followed by 30 seconds of the fastest, most intense jumping jacks of your life.

Time Day 0 HR Day 60 HR Net Gain/Loss
At Completion 168 152 - 14 beats
At 1 Minute 123 118 - 5 beats
At 2 Minutes 130 96 - 34 beats
At 3 Minutes 116 102 - 14 beats
At 4 Minutes 112 96 -16 beats

So, even after a long weekend of gluttony, I can feel good about the overall progress that I've made. One weekend doesn't make or break you. It's a marathon; you've got to keep running. It's okay to slow down a little, just don't stop and get a pastrami sandwich (or a hamburger, in my case).

Falling off the wagon........

Hi Everyone,

This was a weekend that can only be described as falling off the wagon. I didn't work out on Friday or Saturday. I didn't catch up, as of 9:30 PM on Sunday. I ate what I wanted, when I wanted. I had a hamburger at my favorite hamburger restaurant, not once this weekend, but twice. I ate desserts. It was just ridiculous. This is why I blog. This is why I do video journals.

It's not about me. It's not about being this awesome person who always does the right things. It's about a guy, just like most Americans, who struggles with doing the right thing. Daily.

Tomorrow begins a new day. Tomorrow begins a new week. Tomorrow is the beginning of the rest of my life. I will be good tomorrow. I'll work out hard, eat right and get back on track. I am committing to p90x. I have 30 more days. Phase III begins tomorrow.

I will commit to the next 30 days with the same fervor that I committed to in the first 30 days. My only regret is that the 2 or 3 pounds I probably gained this weekend could have been 2 or 3 pounds lost. More reasons to work harder than ever.

Here we go again! Time to recognize the self-destructive behavior, nip it in the bud, and move on to littler (instead of bigger) and better things.
