Hello,
It has been a while since I have posted regularly. As you can see I started adding product reviews (mostly things I have purchased from Amazon) but I will continue the health and fitness updates that this blog started as. From 2012 to now my life has been crazy in good and bad ways. I went back to school to get another undergrad degree, while I was still working full time. I was doing online school way before Covid-19 made it a thing. The degree allowed me to get a great new job, which I thought would free up some of my time since I would not be working and doing school at the same time, but then I became a caregiver to a parent with multiple health issues (and also kind of adopted my mom's dog in the process). And, of course, started working from home during covid when that broke out, and last summer lived through a renovation of my townhouse that was supposed to last 4-5weeks and ended up lasting 4+ months. During that time I basically was living in one room of my townhouse, which was made even worse because I could not go anywhere. During all that I became very sedentary, was eating like crap, and got very out of shape.
So, now I am in the process of working my way back into shape. I am eating better and working out again. I did a VERY modified version of Insanity Max 30 and starting next week, and going back to the OG of OG workouts, Power 90. Not P90, but the original Power 90 workouts that were released in the early 2000s before P90x. They were the workouts that were the lead-in to the original P90x program. So, I plan on doing 90 days of the base program, doing a muscle endurance version (light weights for 12-15 reps), then 8 weeks of the "Masters Series workouts" which were a transition between base workouts and P90X, then I am going to do P90X and P90X plus (hopefully back-to-back). I am hoping that can get me where I want to be fitness-wise because got as out of shape as I have ever been. Part of me wants to just start lifting heavy again, but I tried that last fall and ended up with tendonitis in my elbow, so I am going to gradually build my strength up during the Power 90 workouts so I can lift heavy when I get to P90x. Thankfully, as part of my townhouse renovation, I was able to finish my basement and have a pretty good second living room/workout area down there.
On a side note, I am no longer doing Beachbody coaching. Not because I do not believe in the workouts or products, but doing sales of any kind does not fit my personality and I was never any good at it. But, if anyone has questions, you can email me, or comment (if you subscribe to the blog) and I will do my best to answer you. Otherwise, enjoy, and I will post updates on my progress along with the product reviews.
