Pain Free!

I’ve overcome this little health obstacle, and I’m now pain free.  No more sciatica pain.  Thanks to the good folks at: South Baylo University

They worked their acupuncture magic to get me back to normal. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This Monday I started a new round of P90X, and recruited 8 others to do it with me.  My objective now is to get strong again, lose the weight I put on while disabled help and motivate my friends to get in better shape.

20 Day Full Body Cleanse - Days 3 & 4

Continuing on with this detox, totally focused.  This is a huge mental challenge more than anything else.  I'm fine with not eating any food, but miss drinking coffee in the mornings.


Day 3:
Woke up with a slight headached, but quickly disappeared after taking in some juice.  Totally miss my morning cup of coffee.  The dizziness dissipated down to 20%, so I can now focus on my daily chores.
After work I was energized enough that I worked out for a little bit.  Sleepiness still lingered, and crashed on my couch by 9:00 p.m.


Day 4:
No more headache in the morning, but a bit of dizziness.  Although I felt that I could exercise I decided to take it easy and just chill around the house, and just clean up.  Still feeling sleepy.  My body is truly getting all the rest that it's been lacking. Great time to recuperate from all the hard work on the last two years.


Ready for Day 5, 6 & 7, and more importantly, ready to eat fruits on Saturday, and start eating salads on Sunday.

P90X - Round 3 - Week 4 completed

I've completed week 4, fine tuned my diet, and followed it to the tee.  Finally!

Here's a progress picture, and also a comparison of my Day 1, back almost two years ago.  I'm still stuggling, but making progress.

Struggling but Making Progress

I've read this often, "Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym."

Front view my abs are showing already, and sideways too.  However, on this side view one can see the big chunk that needs to go.

I'm struggling with my diet, but tweaking it as I go along.  I've been fortunate to hook up with an older guy who is much into fitness, and knows a lot about nutrition.

Airborne Pushups

Part of my routine to build strength, and burn fat is doing various other exercises I've learned along the way.  Here I am practicing airborne pushups.  Harder than it looks.

INSANITY Round 2 - Complete 6/5/2011

Round 2 of INSANITY is done, and I'm satisfied from the results.  However, I'm getting too skinny for my own taste.  Therefore, I've developed, and began my own workout routine from what I've learned from P90X, INSANITY, and research.  I will post it a little later.  It's now time to put on some muscles.
