While Jan and I were on the plane heading to Arizona for vacation, we took some time to go through the materials and DVDs for P90X. We’re planning to start P90X in July after we go through ChaLEAN Extreme a second time.
The first thing I have to say is that P90X is really complete, particularly [...]

No matter what kind of weight loss program you’re on, it’s important to keep track of what you’re putting into your mouth. You could jot down what you’re eating in a notebook, and try to keep track of the calories consumed that way, but it’s hard if you don’t know exact amounts, or how many [...]
I got this recently from a friend and thought I would share it here. These tips are wonderful little goals to reach for in our every day lives.
1. Live with the “3 E’s”: Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
2. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good. It’s definitely worth living to the fullest every day.
3. You’re on [...]

Today I did my last workout for ChaLEAN Extreme! Some folks seem to feel sad when they reach the end of a good exercise program: I’m exhilerated. Why? Because I’m in much better shape now than when I began, and I’m looking forward to building higher on this foundation. I’m looking forward to the next [...]
I’ve been looking for an armband to carry my iPhone when we go out to run. I didn’t want anything terribly fancy, just something that would safely hold th iPhone and would be comfortable. I found one: the Grantwood Technology Tuneband armband.
There’s nothing terribly fancy about the Tuneband: it’s essentially a skin for the iPhone [...]
If you’ve been watching the videos I’ve done of my journey this week, you will know that there were days that I struggled with this diet, and days that I didn’t have any problems at all. It was a very up and down week emotionally for me. But now that I’m at the end, I [...]
So I’ve made it to lunchtime on Day 6. I had my snack of almonds this morning after my workout and got to work. I felt a few hunger pangs here and there, but nothing unmanageable. So I’m ready for the last lunch of my Six Day Slim Down Journey. Will you join me?
It was Jan’s birthday, and she wanted to go out to the Cheesecake Factory. We love that place, and not just for the cheesecake: among all the other yummy things on the menu, they have Kobe style beef burgers that are just absolutely to die for!
Unfortunately, this presented us with a bit of a dilemma: [...]
Breakfast was a little delayed this morning. I got busy on the computer and lost track of time. So here it is 9:30 and I’m pretty hungry. I’m having a chocolate protein shake this morning with a banana and cinnamon in it. I’ll be drinking it while I do some light resistance training using light [...]
It’s dinner time, and I’ve been looking forward to it all day. Why? Because we’re having omelets! Mike is going to cook us some yummy omelets with mushrooms, spinach and reduce-fat cheddar cheese. Why is this exciting, just because it’s different. I love omelets, and it feels good to switch around the menus a bit. [...]
It’s afternoon snack time, and I’m starving. In fact, I have to admit to cheating a little bit. I had to have a couple of dark chocolate kisses to get me to lunch, and then I had another one this afternoon, with a dab of peanut butter this time. I am rather surprised, however, to [...]
Lunch couldn’t come too soon today. Not only was I really hungry, but my energy level really fell because I needed the food to keep me fueled. When you start learning about nutrition and eating right, you learn that being tired and groggy came come not only from eating too many carbs and having a [...]
