Need to eat more. Got too busy for lunch.

Kettle Bells and the new year

Once more into the breach!

Got a pair of small kettlebells for Christmas! Yay!

Oh wait. That means I'm back on the bandwagon again. Oh, that means pain and soreness, guilt, being cognizant of what I'm stuffing into my face.

Why does it have to be that way?

Well, Self, if you must know, it is because you are a slacker. You've never had to work at anything to be good at it. You were lucky and cursed at the same time. The good lord gave you a heaping dollop of natural abilities and you screwed them away by never trying to excel at anything.

Well, bub, I've got news for you. You're 40 now. You can't keep up with the young fighters much longer like this. Hell, you probably won't be able to keep up with your Son for much more than another year before he can kick your ass at whatever he wants.

So. No more excuses, no more laziness. You want to live and have a great life with your Grand-kids and Great-Grandkids? You best stick with it. That's it. Nothing earthshaking, nothing spectacular, just regular small efforts every single damn day.

Surprise, that's all it has ever taken for peole to achieve great things. Small things done daily.

Huh.

Splurged

Didn't work out yesterday. Feeling pretty sore from the night before. Gonna go every two days until I get used to it.
Went to the theatre and watched "The Blind Side" great movie. I ate too much popcorn but skipped the soda!

Good workout night!

Massage = waste of time

Well, in the interest of trying to get my back spasms and neck spasm under control I went to a massage therapist last night. Too bad she was too nice. I need someone who can really make me grit my teeth. It would have worth missing the workout time if the back would have been made better. AS it sits it is just a lost workout day. Make up for it tonight, though!

Streeeettttttcccccchhhhhh

Did the ful P90X stretch routine last night. Sadly, I can feel it today. One more indicator that I have a long way to go.

The journey begins.

Here is what I like to do:


I'm the guy in the green. Getting tired of getting tired. I'm 39 and I don't heal as fast as I used to, nor am I as fast as I used to be. So, in the interest of sticking around with my wonderful wife and kids as well as getting back into fighting shape I've embarked on the P90x journey.

In conjunction with Fit Day I'll be improving my diet and upping my excercise. For the first three weeks I am just going to do the P90X stretch routine as well as the Ab Ripper X. My back is always in spasms and I am so far out of shpe that seems like a wise progression. Please comment!
