Power 90 - Day 12

I gotta tell ya, that Tony Horton guy was a "bastard" today!! Doing well and staying with it. I did have way too many "calories" in multiple forms this weekend, but what the hell. I've already survived boot camp so I'm not gonna be hard on myself.
Sticking with it is the key!! JUST PUSH PLAY!!

Power 90 - Day 11

Getting ready to "throw down" with Tony on Day 11. No abs today so I won't feel like a complete wussy when it's over. Feeling good and can feel some changes already.
Spent way too much time last night researching Shakeology vs. other meal replacements/supplements. Going with RAW Meal I think so will probably start a separate thread on that with my observations.
Bought a decent whey protein mix at Walmart so have that for post workout. Gotta talk advantage of every trick to help these old bones get changed.
Okay enough chatter, gotta "just push play"!

Power 90 - Day 10

Workout #6. Can tell I'm back on track cause butt hurts from GETTIN KICKED!!
Here we go!!!

Changes begin...Power 90...Before!!

So in the words of Big Tim..."I got the talkin part done!". As I grow older obviously it's harder to stay in shape. Then again it's harder to stay in shape, regardless of age, when you do nothing about it.
To that end, it's time to do something. I have been talking about joining the P90X rage, but it was all talk. Finally acquired, Power 90 from Beachbody. It is the predecessor to P90X and man am I glad I started here. Still getting my butt kicked and don't think I would have been able to start with P90X and have done it right.

Here are my stats at the starts., I'm not obese, but I'm not a 22 yo Marine anymore either. I love to cook and eat and that's "no bueno" in the long run. I blame my Grandmother!! LOL! We will see how I "measure up" at the end of the 90 days.

I really should have looked at my hair before taking this picture. Then again hair is easy to fix and a haircut takes minutes. Fixing the rest will take a bit longer.

And finally, the obligatory side view. Oh my, yes I need work!!

Am posting this on what should have been Workout Day 10, but is actually going to be workout Day 5. I got a bot derailed this past weekend but have refocused and will get back on it. I will try and post here every day. Probably boring for anyone but me, but will help keep me focused.

Of course, this is a multi-faceted blog so other subjects may be inserted as well.

Let's get to it!!!!

Today it begins...

So I have been talking about getting into better shape for YEARS. I am not getting any younger and my metabolism has slowed to nothing. It has come time to actually do something. As my best friend is fond of saying "You got the talking part done...".

I have procured the "Power 90" program. It is the predecessor to P90X and a good start for those of us that may fall into the "badly out of shape" column. Today is Day 1. I'll post my starting stats here later and periodic progress notes. I might also Tweet my progress, although I have no followers on my Blog and only one Twitter follower. LOL. Oh well...confession will be good for the soul!

Here we go...I will let you know how it goes!

To Dylan - Congratulate Yourself

Dylan,

It has occurred to me recently that you are moving quite fast in life. Take a moment to pat yourself on the back for all that you have accomplished thus far.

You have worked very hard and are to be commended for your focus and effort. You basically gave up your high school years to got to college early. I am sure I don't know just how hard that was, but I know you made sacrifices.

Now you have almost navigated 4 more years of school, have your first "real" job lined up and will be married soon. I guess I could have waited until the wedding to tell you this, but it popped into my head now and would have seemed cliche then.

So much going and and you have handled it all so well. Stay focused and grounded and the sky is the limit for you!

I am so very proud of you. Hugs to you and Katie!

I love you...Dad
