Week 7

I missed 3 days last week, because my body was just so worn out from all the exercise. When people say INSANITY is hard, it’s the truth.  Since that I’d only missed one day.  Today, I continued on the day I was supposed to be on.  I just don’t believe people are perfect.  There are those rare cases when someone has so much self-discipline that they can complete anything they put their mind to.  I just don’t believe I’m one of those people yet.

I figured though, that if I could do this program for 3 weeks in a row, that I could make it a habit and finish the rest.  After 3 days of missing, I could tell that my body needed to get back to doing it.  Having that time off though, gave my body time to rest and heal.  The results, I must say are very noticeable and I’m very pleased.

I just wanted to look better in 60 days and I’ve already achieved that in less.  Still, I have 2 more weeks to go, plus 4 make-up days.  I will get it done.  For me, it’s not about being perfect.  It’s about knowing that you’ll mess up from time to time and still not giving up.  Just get back on the horse and continue on.

If you’re in a long distance race and you fall down, are you going to go back to the beginning and start over.  No. You get back up and you continue on.  Winning the race is not the victory.  Finishing the race is. Second, third, or second to last, just finish!

Week 6 Is a Monster!

This exercise program is a real mountain to climb.  Every day I want to quit and just eat whatever I want, but that’s not going to help me.  At the beginning I just told myself I want to look better in 60 days.  And it hasn’t been 60 days yet.  After that I want to start on another program.

The first one that I’m doing in Insanity.  It’s tough stuff.  I’ve never sweat like this before.  After that I want to do P90X.  I figure that I could be done with everything by Christmas and look amazing.  All I need is a budget of about $2500 and I can turn this new album into something nice.

I just finished recording my 4th song.  As it turns out, I’m not just good at writing, but I can produce a few tracks too.  I’ll keep you update.

Lastly, I got tired of taking my pics in bad light.  Here’s week 6 shot for you.

Slow progress is going to be the death of me!

Week 5 Update

I ran into a little depression lately. I started to digress a little and I missed Monday’s workout. I figured I’ll just have to do double duty on Friday or Saturday or make it up on Sunday. (That’s going to make my life hell!)

One thing I realize is that we are never perfect. Sometimes life hits us right on the back of the head. But, you just have to snap out of it, pick yourself up, and continue the mission.

Failure is certain. Success can only be achieved after a series of failures. If this stuff were easy, everyone would be doing it!!

I also started working on the album.  I’m just going to be me and have a ton of fun.  Lots of tutorials and sessions to come on my youtube account!!

Week 4

Progress is slow and steady. Insanity is a monster! A mountain to climb. It feels like this 9 weeks is taking forever. I just want to look good with my shirt off. But already you can see the changes.

After this course, I’m going to P90X. I’ve already got my pull up bar, weights and push up bars! Leeggoo!

Another Week 1 Pic

This is that belly shot I was telling you about. This is what I’m trying to get rid of. Shaun T please help!!

(HATE IT!)

Week 3 Pick

These pics that I’m posting are all Monday’s during the beginning of the week. Facing forward, I notice a considerable difference. I’m going to post another Week 1 pic of my nasty belly. The difference is cool, but I’ve actually gained weight.

I understand that it’s muscle weight, but I don’t know of any 5’8″ that are supposed to be naturally 197 lbs. That was disappointing. Still, I’ve never eating 5 times a day either.

Right now, I’m consuming 2200 calories a day. I think that’s more than I’ve been eating before, but way more healthy.

We’ll seel

Week 2

Eating 5 times a day. No alcohol and no sugar. Just water and healthy foods. Don’t know if I’ve lost any weight yet, because I don’t have a scale!
