When we look at the chemistry of carbohydrates it’s hard to imagine that our bodies care . They seem so similar. I get reminded that this is the nature of living: small differences are everything. This is the way with dieting, exercising or successful investing — it’s the little things that seem to make the biggest difference.

So Muscle & Fitness here I come. 3 months of M&F combined with p90x to get some muscle growth, then I’ll hit a p90 lean routine after that. I’ll continue to report progress once the routine kicks in again. For the next 2 weeks I’m waiting to re-cycle onto the creatine. I can’t wait to try the Vapor product … I hear it’s even better than NO Xplode, and I LOVE NO Xplode.

The downside is that I will have to do yet another 90-day challenge to get the shirt off … the upside is — I’m ready to BRING IT!

The thing is, no matter what supplements and programs we use, our bodies do have limits — and it’s awesome to explore those limits and surprise ourselves by going beyond them, but at some point we can grown no further, run no faster, last not one more second, so it’s important to keep this in mind to maintain a healthy attitude towards life in general: at some point just have fun with the process, regardless of the outcome.

The thing about doing something more than once is the beauty of lessons learned.  As I started this week I reflected at how caught up I was with the numbers last time: I wanted that weight to plummet as fast as possible.   And indeed that’s what I managed to do, however, I don’t think I’m [...]

The mind is a powerful thing — for better or worse — it never fails to amaze me how much it helps to believe in something.  Believe that you can and all things are possible.

I had a business trips two weeks ago  — I was worried that my diet and exercise were going to [...]

The Recovery phase sneaked up on me. I was on such a roll and so excited to have broken the 200 lb. floor finally that I wanted to keep going. However, after doing so many years of hard workouts I know better. The Recovery Phase of any routine is as critical as the hard work phase; in the p90x case we’re not talking about taking a week off to sit around and get the lbs. back on, instead we’re mixing up more Yoga and xStretch into the mix. For those of you that have done Yoga-X you know this is not easy … you’re sweating like crazy, you’re doing push-ups as part of every move and really pushing the limits. I still have a couple of moves that I struggle with, but with modifications and perseverance I’ll get close.
