Day 81 was the sweat 3-4 workout and ab-ripper 200. This one was much like the last one. I did pretty well through most of it but did get gassed during the third round of jumping jacks. I was able to do 18 reps of all the ab-ripper moves but did have to pause a couple of times. I have one more week of these workouts, then I will be starting the Master's Series workouts for eight weeks before moving on to p90x. I have lost about 10 pounds of scale weight since starting Power-90, and have definitely lost some body fat. Hopefully, I can lose a few more pounds by a week from Sunday and drop another few percentage points off of my body fat percentage. I know that my waist has gotten a bit smaller (I still have a lot to lose around the middle) so I am hoping for at least a decrease in my waist size by a few inches (or more). I know I have lost more inches in my face and neck area (which is where I tend to gain weight last and drop it first) which I can easily tell visually. But I cannot tell visually how much I have lost around the middle. But, I tend to put on fat around my midsection first and that is the last place I drop it from. So, chances are I will have to get down under 200 pounds to actually see a significant reduction in my waist size.
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.
