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 90

 The last day of the Power-90 base workout was the T25 stretch workout. I again modified it to add more hamstring stretches, during the downward dog portion but otherwise stuck to it. Overall, over the course of the 90 days, I went from 224.9 lbs to 213.8 lbs for a total loss of 11.1 pounds, More importantly, my body fat percentage dropped from approximately 35.6% to approximately 33%, and I went from a 49" waist to 47".

I definitely did not eat perfectly throughout the entire program. I did try to stick with 6 days of carb cycling and then one free/cheat day, but there were times that I ate more junk food during the week too. And, I definitely have not gotten as much sleep as I needed and have been under a lot of stress. So, given all of that, I definitely made good progress. Today I start the Master's Series workouts and will be rotating those workouts for eight weeks before I start P90X classic.
