P90X – Kenpo X routine — What to do when it starts to feel too easy

June 29th, 2009

On a popular P90X thread on bodybuilding.com, some posters were venting that they thought Kenpo X gets too easy over time. It’s one of the few workouts that you do every single week, no matter what phase or recovery week.

Starting a new diet – CKD aka Cyclical Ketogenic Diet

June 28th, 2009

You can read all the specifics here: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=36497. Basically you modify your body to run on what is known as “Ketones” rather than the traditional blood sugar that you digest from carbohydrates. Today is day two of this diet.

iPhone 3G S

June 19th, 2009

I don’t usually blog about Apple products because I don’t want to mix business with personal life. But I am really impressed with this product.

It’s a lot faster than I thought it would be, and the video recording is quick, easy, and really good quality.

It’s up to you to decide if it’s the right phone for you, but I love it.

Oh and I posted this using it while walking Stuart, tracking a Nike plus workout and listening to music. But I guess you can’t multitask. /sarcasm

Last day in hawaii

June 5th, 2009

I didn’t do much blogging on the honeymoon, instead I did most updates on Twitter and facebook. But it was all great. Snorkeling, swimming in waterfalls, cliff jumping into the ocean, catching huge fish, and not to mention incredible food. That and I even snuck in 2 workouts and a yoga session.

May 31st, 2009

We had a great tour of a pineapple plantation here in Maui. Our guide had been working there since he was 12, and was born and raised right where our hotel is now. He was a great guide and we learned a lot about pineapples. Here’s a video of some of the tour.
