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.

Workout Update: Power 90 Day 4

 Yesterday was my second go-around with Sweat 1-2 and ab-ripper 100. The experience was pretty similar to the first time I did the workout on Tuesday, but I was a little bit more tired because I had not slept well the night before. So, I had to slow down a bit more during the cardio portion. Ab-ripper 100 was still kind of a bear to get through, but I just hope to progress well. I think my new plan for the program will be to do the 1-2 workouts for 45 days and the 2-3 workouts for 45 days before doing 8 weeks of the Masters Series workouts. That is, of course, if I feel ready to "graduate" from the 1-2 workouts by the 45-day mark. I think that will be the case, and am definitely making that my goal. Thankfully, today and tomorrow are higher carb days on my carb cycle, so I should have a bit more energy for the next couple of workouts. Thanks for reading, and hopefully more people will check the blog out on a regular basis again. I will be updating daily with the workout updates now, and will try to post 1 or 2 product reviews per day.
