P90X – Day 1 – Chest and Back, Ab RipperX

12/29/2009

I started P90x today. I had heard so many things about it and its popularity that I decided to do my own research. In case you don’t know what p90x is about, it’s a 90 day fitness program that is very “X”treme in every aspect.

I didn’t eat a donut

10/22/2009

Uhhhmmmm, DoooonutsMy workplace is a haven for junk food. We have a Starbucks on the first floor, and people are always bringing in chocolates, cakes, you name it on often a daily basis.  If your office is like mine, they put them out in the kitchen area so everyone can grab a piece. I have to pass this display on the way to my office.

Goodbye Starbucks Marble Loaf

09/24/2009

Dear Starbucks Marble loaf,

We’re over. You lied to me. Or maybe I lied to myself. Regardless, I think our relationship is over.

We first met at the corner, as I was looking for a light snack to quell my Ironman training hungers. I’d have you with a bottled Ice Coffee (Mocha). I must admit, you were really good when warmed up in the microwave.

But alas, you were fake. At least Ice Coffee (Mocha) has it’s nutritional value typed onto the bottle (180 calories).  Not sure what I was thinking, but I thought you were around the same calorie content. Maybe I should have listened to what my mother taught me: “All that glitters is not gold”. And now I must tell everyone what you are really made of

Your ex,

We are sooo not together anymore

Transitions…

09/10/2009

I really hate, “Sorry I haven’t been around” posts. They reak of laziness. And I hate that. But seriously, Labor Day weekend in conjunction with the beginning of the school year (I work at a University) has kept me off balance. To make it worse, I’ll be starting business school, so I’m trying urgently to put everything in order so I can accommodate my work, class schedule, training, and the little bit of a social life I desire to have.
