Week 9 | Insanity-P90X-P90X+-One on One-Hybrid Workouts
P90X Chest & Back
My 30-Week Beachbody Hybrid Calendar

Noon update: I had an awesome conversation with three folks working at the post office over my lunch break. (None else there, snow still around, so it was just us and William.)

I packed off some items, and when I paid, they asked for my ID. Good, because that's what I write on the back of all my cards -- Ask for ID.

She took a look at my pictures -- on my ID and CC -- and couldn't help it. "Is this you? How much weight have you lost!?"

And the story goes. It's the easiest sell going. P90X works, folks. And those who aren't working out or giving it their all sneer at the craziness of it all. How could a workout program actually... work? Surely there must be something wrong with spreading the word! Right?

Wrong. My postal friends all got a small earful about P90X -- all had seen the infomercials -- and for the first time in little Apex, NC they saw proof.

A guy who's done the program, likes to tell others about it, and has gone from a chunky 230 to 180.

Go ahead, try to rain on this parade. You can't -- the truth wins. And I omit nothing.

Morning post-workout: Puff... puff... This program is amazing. After being consistent for several weeks, your ability to tackle every move of every workout becomes evermore solid. Then, a short break comes. Whether you're sick, go on a trip, etc. a few days off (2-3) means you've reset your internal abilities. It takes a solid 8 to 10 days of consistency, again, to regain what you've lost on those days.

Thus, here I am. A weekend playing in the snow (see below), and nursing the tail end of a chest cold (which never took hold thanks to the workouts, but did reduce my output during "recovery" week) spelled a tough road this morning.

But, I made it. Brought it as best I could, and came out the other side feeling wasted with a pretty sick stomach. A signal I was pushing, hard. Too hard? No.

And now for a side comment on something someone tried to post here: Now where did that word monkey go, Mr. C? Oops, revisionist history is the easiest, isn't it? That and not realizing you just humiliated yourself and openly called someone a racist name. Trying to defend it and deflect nonsense judgment on yours truly makes me very, very glad that I pressed that button. Any rational adult wouldn't want to be associated with you and your racism. Good day.

Onward! Push play with me. Find out how...
