My first cheat day.

Okay, im going to explain the cheat day thing first. I do want to eat healthier, but I still want to enjoy those bad for me foods that I have always eaten. So I give myself 1 day a week to eat some bad foods, and today was my first day.

Me and my lovely wife went on a date to this Japanese restaurant, Okinawa. I highly recommend this place. The food was great, had my first experience with sushi, they cooked the food at the table and it only cost 25 bucks. Great deal, and a great date with my wife.

Also, I'm proud of myself for not going overboard on the cheat day. I had steamed rice and steak and scallop teriyaki. But when I got home, i did get into some oreos that my moms brought over for me. So that was it for my first cheat day. Next week I plan on getting busy on someting greasy!!! Maybe Popeye's or maybe some Jenkin's Bar B Que Ribs.......

Today I realized I switched out one of my workouts on accident, I was supposed to do Yoga X thursday, but I did Kempo X, so tommorow I get to do Yoga X, im excited about that. Today was Legs and Back. It was a good workout, im definatly feeling it right now.

Im gonna leave you guys with my song of the moment. Check it out.

My first Kempo Experience

Todays P90X workout was Kempo X, which I found out that is nothing more than martial arts for a cardio workout. So far this is the most enjoyable workout. I feel by the end of the 90 days, I will be a Kempo blackbelt and I will be a badass like this guy...



Ya... thats gonna be me in 90 days. And I figure I would use it on my son if he acts up. A quick face claw then hammer thrust to the chest.... he is sure to not act up then LOL. J/P.


Overall, today I feel pretty good. going into day 4 and I have not missed a workout, and I am watching what I eat (though I have to eat more). Monday I am going to do my first weight in since I started to see where I am with my weight. I feel like I will drop quite a few lbs early then level off around 220. My goal is 215 by the end of the 90 days.

Feelin a lil sore

Todays workout was shoulders and arms and im still feeling a little sore from Mondays workout. I like that sore feeling, it makes me feel like I am accomplishing something. So if you havn't figured it out, I plan on posting every day for 90 days, the duration of the program.

Hopefully through these posts you will get the overall mood that I am in for that day.

But back to the program.
I think I am going to create my own meal plan using thier portions guide. I dont like most of thier meals, and the food takes to long to prepare. Creating a meal plan is going to be a chellenge in itself because I am completely new at it. I dont want to ask my wife to do it because she will go overboard and have me eating leaves, trees, soy pizzas and all kinda super healthy stuff that I am not ready to dive into J/P.

I just dont want to burden her with something that I NEED to do for myself.

So probably starting Friday, I am going to sit down and start on my meal plan, and hopefully have it ready by Sunday so I can do my grocery shopping and a lil cooking.

Well thats all for now, Im about to get on XBOX LIVE for about 30 minuites and get on that new
Street Fighter 4. Ya I am a Gamer, but I will discuss that in future posts.

A little about Me

Well, I did my P90X workout earlier and it was pretty tough, Plyometrics. A lot of cardio mainly jumping and squats.

But I realized that I did not say much about myself or have any kind of intro to my blog so I'm gonna write a little about myself.

I have been in shape pretty much all my life because I love to play basketball. I played 2 years of HS basketball and 4 yrs of College ball. I am pretty athletic, basically my game consists of running and jumping, and back when i was 25, I could pretty much out jump, quick or run most guys I came up against. I was always between 205 and 210 and I would always aim to get to 215 but I never could. I am about 6'3".

Here is a clip of my Handy Work.

more dunks


Now I don't intend on getting back to how I was back then because I was WAY younger and the only thing I did was play ball..... I work now, have a kid and can only play ball 2-3 times a week.

Now I weigh in at 232 with 26% body fat. And this is how I look now.


All those burgers, Fried Chicken, Pizza and Chips have finally caught up with me. But I will make a comeback!!!! Stay Tuned!

First Day

It was kinda like the first day of school.... exciting, not knowing what to expect, hoping I do well.
well I woke up around 8:30 and prepared my breakfast. A mushroom omelet. The thing had 10 egg whites in it!! It was huge, and if you know me, you know I destroyed it when it was time to flip if. it tasted alright. The eggs hid the taste of the mushrooms, and it filled me up.

One hour after that I began my first workout. Chest and Back and Ab Ripper X were on the menu for today. Both workouts were intense but the Ab Ripper X put a beating on me.

If the workout was a fight, I would be the wolf in this video and Ab Ripper X would be the female.



The first day was tough but im sure I can stay committed to the workouts for the next 90 days, the hard part is going to be staying committed to the meal plan. Stay tuned to see how it goes.

Ready for 90 days of torture!!

So I decided recently to get back in shape and live a healthier life style in order to keep up with my super active 2yr old son. I was having trouble because I could not find a plan that was structured enough to keep me into it.

Then I heard about P90X from some guys at the basketball gym, and Ive seen the infomercials. I decided to do a little research on the program and it seemed to be what I was looking for, very challenging workout (That many people do not complete lol) and a laid out meal plan (which I very much needed since my diet is my main problem).

So I know this program is going to be very difficult for me since it seems to be based on push ups and pull ups. And i can maybe do 40 push ups and hopefully 1 pull up right now lol.


I start my journey in the morning and I am inviting you all to take part in it with me!!!
