Thoughts on Mostly Week One

So, thoughts on P90X so far: My god is it goofy.  However, Tony (the Guy) makes it easy to laugh at, rather than just be disgusted by, all the XTREEEEM! stuff, and it's silly enough humor that it works...

Take two, they’re small and carbohydrate-free

So I got a cold.  A stupid sneezy cold.  It's the first cold I've had after almost two years of complete sick-free-ness!  And when do I get it?  Four days into being monophasic. I'm just sayin'.  ;)...

Take a bunch, they’re made of meat. Specifically hamburger.

Day 6 done!  The Kenpo workout is actually pretty fun; I'm not much on karate for martial art purposes, but it does make fun exercise, I'll give it that.  Plus it'll be easy enough to modify the...

The New Dots

(Day 10.)  So besides the mad exercise, it's also week 2 of the Mad High-Protein Diet now.  That's going pretty well…I'm sure I'm overshooting the carbs a little, and I should be eating more vegetables...

Challenges Take Many Forms (even cat-vomit)

So, if I haven't said so already, it's a hard, hard thing to ask yourself to slide right out of bed, exercise to the point of panting sweat-dripping exhaustion for 1 – 1.5 hours, leap in and out of the...

Fascinated — one might say, “agog”. But I also find sneezing interesting.

Today's a day for titles pulled out of random things the TV is saying in the background.  Underneath that information-rich skin, though, it's just the three-week P90X update — sorry if that's...

“Bringing It” to Trial

And just like that, P90X is on the chopping block. Sure, I can be a revolvatory sort, but then again, sometimes the Universe speaks just as suddenly as people do.  Anyway, here's where I'm at:...

Escape from the Prison Planet!

I put my picture on wearethe99percent.tumblr.com … because I feel like a refugee from a pocket third-world country in the US, created by the 1% and the government's insane/corrupt need to please them....

Runnin’ (Type 3 Fun)

Running kills me.  I can run for half the time, at a tenth of the intensity, that I might bike or swim; and instead of feeling like I've had a good workout like I would if I was on wheels or in the...

And you thought I couldn’t squee out about shoes

I need to give some love to Mad Rock shoes.   My first pair were ballerina shoes on juice: But then they got a hole in the leather, I swear for no reason I can fathom.   D: I sent the company that...

Listen to the instrument, damn it

Most of my life, I was a slave to my mind, and if you'd asked me I would have said straight-faced that the whole useful world was inside it; a straight-up victim of stockholm syndrome of the brain....

A daily workout that’s simple and works: HIIT The Deck

THE "HIIT THE DECK" WORKOUT There are doubtless other posts about similar workouts, but as I learned this through oral tradition (passed on to me by a footy team, no less) and I've definitely...

The Hanging Swing

The Hanging Swing I.  Oh man, life-wise I am kinda hanging off the crumbling edge of a cliff after a seizmic explosion and it's cool, it's cool, I'm scrambling up over the ledge and it looks like...

Further notes on the “Bloody Nine” exercise thingy

Any three exercises, three sets to failure. My goal with the Bloody Nine (or B9 as my friend now has me calling it) was to inculcate a basic, progressive / training-level fitness routine that could...
