-6 today !!

Posted by Ub3rG33k on Jan 6, 2009 in Brain Dump

I woke this morning to find there is still snow on the ground, but just to add to it, it’s -6, which means under the layer of snow was a layer of black ice.

No knowing this, (I know, I know, common sense) I set off this morning on my push iron, turned right at the bottom of my road….I went right, the bike went left….

I think I slit for about 3 or 4 meters on my side, with my bike heading in the opposite direction….

I then limped myself to work, which wasn’t helped by my aching body, thanks in Day 1 of P90X….yeah I hurt..

The most miserable day of the year

Posted by Ub3rG33k on Jan 5, 2009 in Brain Dump, Fitness

Today is apparently the most miserable day today, everyone (most) are back at work, it’s cold, it’s windy, and snowing.

Just to add to the pain and suffering, I’ve just finished the first of 90 days worth of workout from the p90x.

Today was core synergistic…it hurt !, I can’t believe how unfit I’ve become in the last 2 1/2 months……and this is probably going to be my shortest blog, as my arms are shaking and I’m finding it hard to type…it’s kinda, type, type, delete, type, type delete, as I keep hitting the wrong keys….

The Mission…

Posted by Ub3rG33k on Jan 4, 2009 in Fitness

..if I choose to accept it…

Well to be honest, I don’t think I have choice. Just to give you a small amount of history. I’ve never really been a sporty person, kinda a lazy person if I’m to be honest, but until a couple of years ago, I’ve gotten away with eating and drinking practically as much as I want without adding any weight.

Late 20′s came, and suddenly, i became a fat bastard, lol. This time last year, I though, I know what I’ll do, I’ll buy a push iron (bicycle), and cycle  to work, thinking this will do the trick.

In about June, realised that cycling alone wasn’t going to fix it, so decided to take more extreme approach. I bought the P90x 13 DVD collection, which claims that you can have a beach body in 90 day…this I had to see….as myself and C were due to go abroad in September.

The workout was at least an hour a night, for at least 5 days a week, and it was a hard, painful, sweaty workout, but sure enough approx 90 days later I had a body that I didn’t mind getting out on the beach, with not having to fear anybody trying to shoot me with a harpoon dart, or trying to push me back in the water, thinking I was a beached whale !

Anyway, when we got back from our hols, we decided to workout maybe 2 or 3 times a week just to keep in shape……the problem is, I’m lazy, didn’t do any exercise, and have managed to pile on 2 stone…

Anyway, the point of the history, is that this year myself and C already have 3 weddings to goto, so plan to be back down to my idea weight by the 21st April, taking into consideration, that if we do the hardcore P90x this should be possible, however just the thought of it is making me ache.

Wish me luck !
