It has been a long time since I updated this. Alas, life gets in the way sometimes. I have been continuing on in school and now that I am in upper level calculus classes and working full time, this had to be put on the back burner. But I am back and will try to keep this fairly up to date.
I will be starting P90X2 in exactly two weeks. I actually ordered it back in December when it was initially released, but at that time I felt too out of shape to jump right into it. My school schedule in the fall did not allow for consistent working out, so I decided to do an abbreviated version of P90X classic (basically going through the program but skipping the recovery weeks) just to get my body ready to tackle the more intense workout. I am going to finish that then start in on X2.
I plan on doing the entire P90x2 program, recovery week included, and doing consistent blog posts to update my progress. I also plan on taking a picture and weighing myself every day, mainly to prove a point. I am fairly certain that my weight will not change much, but my body composition should. The hope is to show the scale obsessed people that it is just a number, and does not always correlate to how fit you are.
I also plan to start a group on the Team Beachbody message boards, where I will put the daily pic and weight measurements in. I will post a link to that page after I get it set up. I will also put in some of my food logs and things to show how I am eating. I plan to follow the P90X2 nutrition plan, although I do plan to work in a couple cheat meals throughout the week. I will be more detailed about that once I start. Keep checking back and feel free to make comments.
Here you will find things about fitness and nutrition, mainly (but not exclusively) in relation to the Beachbody programs like P90x and Insanity. And, I will start adding reviews for Books, DVDs and Blu-Rays, and other products. All views and opinions on this blog are my own.
Welcome
Welcome to my ever-evolving blog. It started out as a blog on Beachbody workouts and products, mainly when I was a Beachbody coach. I no longer coach, not because I don't believe in Beachbody's programs (I subscribe to Beachbody on Demand and use their workouts every day), I am just not a salesperson and hated that aspect of it. I am more than willing to answer questions about my experiences with their products and the various workouts, and I feel freer to do so without the appearance of giving a biased review of something.
I have also started adding reviews for various things I have purchased like movies, books, CDs, and other products. This was brought about by a fight with Amazon in which all of my reviews were removed over a completely bullshit allegation that I posted a review that violated their terms of service. After going back and forth with the morons in the community-reviews department (even after they admitted that my posts did not violate their guidelines) they restored my account (which took them six months to do), but I have been posting my reviews on my blog to have them preserved in case something like that happens again. And here, I will post uncensored reviews so I will swear from time to time and post reviews that may be longer than Amazon's character limit. Everything I post here on any topic or product is my personal opinion, and I take no compensation for any product reviews I post. I am a member of Amazon's vine program and because I get those products for free, I keep those reviews on Amazon only, but everything I have purchased with my own money, whether from Amazon or some other store/website/outlet, I will post here.
I also plan to do some longer blog posts on various topics, such as how to learn physics, how to get through calculus, and longer reviews of workout programs as I do them. Basically, whatever strikes me as interesting at the time. As you can see if you navigate around the blog, I had many years in between postings. During that time I was going back to school to get an engineering degree, and learning material that I avoided my first time through college was a different experience and one that gave me a lot of insight into how to do well in those classes, which I will try to impart here for those who are looking to get a science or engineering degree.
