Day 4

Day 4 weight: 231.2 lb

YOGA X! That was the workout today, and it was as the title says "intense". I've discovered that Yoga is the part of this exercise regiment that I will struggle with the most. But in a way I'm glad that I'll be able to improve myself in the ways of the yoga. "Gain stretching and balance you will." -Yoda on Yoga. Diet has been going well. If you diet long enough you discover that the times you were "hungry" before, weren't really times you were TRULY hungry. Not that I have been dieting long, but it is something I've noticed. Didn't go to BJJ tonight, but I'm planning on showing up for the afternoon class tomorrow! I think Yoga will be the one exercise that I don't really look foward to doing, however, you get to do the typical "OOOHHHMMMMSSSS" at the end, so it kinda cracked me up. Check out the pics and leave a comment. Peace, and God Bless :D.

Day 3

Day 3 weight :232

Day 3 was working out the glamour muscles. Shoulders, arms and triceps. Okay okay, so my muscles aren't very glamourous, but maybe they will at least be more defined......eventually. Its weird how someone can call a certain muscle glamourous but another one not. Or how anyone can think muscles are that glamourous at all. But then again you never see a guy like me being the main heart throb in movies, we are usually the guy getting blown up in a car chase. Or the goofy guy that makes a lot of jokes. So I guess I fit the bill. Diet went....well lets say it went. Had some delicious food at the Boyce's today, Brother-in-laws parents. Ate great food, but chose healthier options such as no butter or sour cream. They also had homemade ice cream that I caved and ate a little. DELICIOUSO! Worth me not eating anything for the rest of the day. jiu-jitsu tomorrow, and looking forward to it! Bring it on 5 year olds! Other than that pretty relaxing day. Tomorrows workout is Yoga, so you will definitely want to see how I do in that. I'm guessing it wont be as much fun as I think :p. Until then check out the photos and God Bless :D.

Day 2

Day 2 weight: 232.8 lb

I was pleasantly surprised that I wasn't too sore this morning. Seeing as how I was so sure I would be. Today's P90x routine was Plyometrics, which is jump training. You basically do all these different jumping exercises, like jumping squats and jumping jacks. It is a pretty fun cardio workout. One of the merits of P90x is that the trainer Tony and the cast you do the workout with, are all real people. You see them sweating and struggling just like you, and the occasional corny joke makes you smile when you want to scowl from the workout. No jiu-jitsu today, turns out it is only on weekdays, but monday I'll be back on the floor getting tapped out by 12 year olds. Looking forward to it! Today was pretty laid back as far as the diet goes. Wasn't too difficult as long as you don't think about being hungry. Drinking plenty of water surprisingly DOES help (I was skeptical). Still don't know HOW well it works, but maybe it is a placebo of sorts for not eating. Used "Eww" today as well, when I carpooled my friends to Shanghai Express (chinese food place). Thanks again guys for always finding a way to make it easier ;). Looking forward to what is to come 2moro, I'm sure I'll have more to say when I actually start rolling with these exercises. Hope you hang around to watch me succeed, or get my neck broken by a pre-teen :D. More to come tomorrow! :D Peace, God Bless. P.S. Check out the sexy guy in these photos (growling noise)

Day 1

Starting weight: 237 lb

Well they say the first day is always the hardest. Or is it the second day? Or first week? I'm not sure, however I do know that tomorrow morning I'll be sore. P90x was intense, a whole hour dedicated to push-ups and pull-ups. Not my strong points I've found out. Then a nice relaxing ab crunching routine. Nothing with the word "crunching" is ever as fun as you think. That combined with a night of Brazilian jiu-jitsu means that tomorrow morning I'm pretty sure there will be a lot of moaning. It is kind of daunting knowing you have 90 days of pushing yourself to achieve a goal, but each day is a step closer. Maybe the first step is the hardest to take, but I'm sure it wont be the hardest to complete. Diet went well, as most diets do on the first day. ALTHOUGH I will say between my friend eating buffalo wings and french fries, my father bringing home Publix fried chicken and potato salad (Yummy!), my sister sending us a delicious apple pie, and Stephanie eating ribs for dinner, keeping my diet wasn't easy. Why does it always seem like whenever you go on a diet, everyone wants to buy you dinner or offer you delicious food? Cruel Irony. I think a trick I'll try to use while the challenge is taking place, is to say "Eww" to food that is bad for me. Childish I know, but hey what works, works. All that aside, I'm glad the first day is over. When I can figure out how to put pictures on my computer you'll get to see some sexy pictures of me with my shirt off, So be on the look out! Other than that I'm pretty exhausted, proud I did Day 1, and looking forward to the rest of the 89 days and what they have to bring. Stay Classy, God Bless.
