the second phase

So I’m getting all setup for tomorrow, the first day of P90X. 90 days of total commitment not only to a exercise plan, but a diet plan too. I did the fitness test and passed, although I should have stretched a bit more before I started it. At the end, my legs started tightening up during the 2 minutes of jumping jacks. With that all done, I recorded all my information and have logged it over on my P90x Log. I’ll make daily updates here about how I felt about the workout and such, but my actual log of statistical information will be over on that page.

The hardest part I feel, believe it or not, will be the diet and cutting things out, like alcohol intake. I’m not going to be 100% on the dot of the whole diet, but I want to stay in the 90% range, which means having an occasional beer or maybe sticking to something with vodka ( cranberry juice? ).

Ontop of all that, I’ll be running more frequently. I took my photos today and man, was that scary.. scary AWESOME. Heh. I look like I have a beer keg for a stomach. I’ll post them once I’ve completed the program. At the moment, I’m too embarrassed of them to post them now.

Wish me luck, or, if you’re green like jelly, post some rude comment.

upgraded the site to the latest wordpress, let me know if you see any issues.

One other thing that I’d like to mention is that I’ve been helping out on an open-source project called ClockingIT. It’s written in Ruby on the Rails framework, which until now, I didn’t really know anything about. It’s been alot of fun, however, and the lead guy on the project is an awesome fellah. Hopefully some of my patches make it into future revisions!
