Week three is done.  The chin-up bar is hung.  Next week is the last week of phase one where everything changes up.  YogaX twice in one week makes me a little bit sad…
The only thing sore today is my butt – but aside from that life is peachy.  I’ve lot six pounds since starting P90X [...]

Almonds are a great snack. 35g of almonds has about 210 calories. They’re well rounded – containing protein, carbohydrates (including fiber), and some fat (of the unsaturated variety). 
Initially I kept the container of almonds in the cupboard and would just grab a few here and there.  I started to get concerned that a couple [...]

Eleven weeks to go.
This week was pretty good.  The big aches I felt on various days last week were mostly gone.  This week I just felt enough to remind me that I had been working.  So it does get better…
Also, my wife has started joining me on some days.  She’s not doing the nutrition portion [...]

After much screwing around I finally decided to order the P90X vitamin supplements.  I had considered ordering some of their protein bars and protein supplements but their “shipping and handling” fee kind of annoyed me.  Actually it really annoyed me.   6.95$ added for each item was adding up fast and it just didn’t seem worth [...]

So week one of P90X is done.  Let me assure you this is not a scam.  From the way I feel after one week of this – I can understand how a person can have the advertised results.  It’s a great workout, and it covers your whole body.  I’ve summarized my first week here for [...]

I seem to have been a bit ambitious in wanting to get a treadmill desk up and running over the last weekend =).  My goal here is to “try before I buy” so to speak.  I want to get a functional treadmill environment setup without spending a lot of money – I need to know [...]

I’m thinking I’m going to try the P90X bandwagon.  I first looked at P90X when I first started changing up my life.  Unfortunately, the way it was marketed – just made it seem like such a scam.  My parents-in-law picked up a copy and so did my sister-in-law.  They both quit, saying its too hard.  [...]

When I started eating right and exercising – I vowed to never be that guy weighing all his food!  I figured that just making healthier choices and exercising was more important than measuring food.  I was right.  I lost a lot of weight with this mentality.
When I started doing the P90X program I realized [...]

Is your office chair killing you?  This article has inspired me to research alternatives to my Aeron chair.  Perhaps a walking desk could work for developers?  I’m very interested to see how walking 1-2 mph all day would affect my heart rate and overall fitness…
I’m going to research and attempt a prototype this weekend. 
I’ll [...]
