For most of us, eating unhealthy foods is the norm. We are surrounded by food choices that are stuffed with empty calories which leaves us under nourished and over weight. Eating healthy isn’t something that we can just will ourselves into. The environment we live in does not support it. Food manufacturers, including companies that [...]

I’m a big believer in mixing things up.  That’s one of the things I like about P90X – Tony Horton does incorporate a schedule that changes from time to time and that helps keep your muscles confused and progress moving. But even P90X as great as it is has some limitations.  I’d do some things [...]

This last January, I was pretty pleased with the way I looked.  I was into my 2nd round of P90X and was enjoying my new physique.  But I figured there was more I could do so Chris and I kept at it.  Now I look at my body now compared to then and continue to [...]

I’ve been getting a few requests to show where my bod is at now.  I was going to wait until I finished one whole year but since I’m getting asked, I’ll do them a bit early. I did a few sample shots this morning just to see how I looked.  I need to tan in [...]

Hi Everyone, I get a lot of questions about diet. How many calories should I (you) eat? Why the 40/40/20  ratio of carb/protein/fat for calories? Can I (you) change the 40/40/20 ratio to something else? Do I (you) have to measure & count everything? Do you have sample menus? How much or what can I [...]

The only thing I hate more than recovery week is starting back on our intense routine after taking it super easy the week before.  This morning Chris and I did Legs & Back and boy oh boy was it hard! Now having said that, I do have to admit that I upped my weight on [...]

Too often I get comments from women stating that they are not losing enough weight. And almost as often, when I ask, they admit that their clothes are fitting much better and/or that they have lost inches. And that always makes me wonder why we women tend to obsess about what the scale says. I [...]

I decided to write about this because today I’ve been paying for ‘doing it wrong’.  You see any of us at any time can ‘get it wrong’.  And for me it was pushing too hard.  I have been so excited lately about how much my 51 year old body can do, I forgot that when [...]

I have a love/hate relationship with the P90X Chest & Back workout.  I love it because it’s simple and effective.  I hate it because it’s hard. When I first started P90X I did all my push ups from my knees and I could not do even 1 pull up.  I thought about this today when [...]

I was asked today over in Facebook how I achieved such a great transformation.  I replied that it was due to consistency, drive and focus.  And it was.  But I realized upon reflection that I overlooked one very key element.  And that is I had a really good blueprint to follow. P90X was the blueprint [...]
