Just finished my workout. It was weight day. Was feeling a little sore today but that didn’t stop me. You can keep up with My Power 90 Journey by clicking on that link there.

I just got a call from my Mother about an hour ago. It seems my father was feeling dizzy and then got sick. My brother and mother took him to the hospital. All reports say he is doing fine now and is doing some tests and the doctors are treating the symptoms. When they know more, I’ll know more. It should be an interesting evening.

It was a rough start today but I started working out again. completed day 1 of Power 90. I created a separate blog for this and will be updating it daily. just go to http://workout.ormonster.com. The link will also be  on the right. Here’s hoping I can keep this going this time.

I have been in a bit of a funk lately and I don’t know why. Nothing in my life has changed, no great upheavals, I’m still working at a job I kind of like, My family loves me and keeps in touch, My financial situation isn’t great but if I work at it, it won’t pwn me. I want to start working out again and I try but I can’t keep the motivation going beyond a day. The other day I did some weights and then went for a mostly walk/run along Wollaston Beach, the next day… nothing. So that’s my current tale of woe.. I’m in a funk.. let’s move on.

I have been fighting with my comcast dvr for a long time now. I set up a series recording to record only new episodes and it decides to record every episode. Now I have to go and manually delete all the extra crap it recorded. I finally had enough and went out and got another Tivo. Unlike my first Tivo, which I got back in 2003, this one has a dual tuner and can record 2 shows at once.. Yay! Another feature of having two Tivo’s is the ability to transfer your recordings  from one to the other. I may throw a tv back in my bedroom.

Now that I am on the subject of TV.. let’s talk a bit about my newest show obsession.. Big Brother. It is currently season 11. I have never watched this before and I am obsessed with the live feeds. I can’t stop watching or reading updates, I have to know what is going on at all times. Right now my favorite is Jeff with Jordan a close second and Michelle third. Everybody else except maybe Kevin can leave at any time as far as I’m concerned. Poor Michelle was thrown under the bus by the village idiot Ronnie since just about day 1 and she’s been getting ripped on ever since. I was getting frustrated because the house guests I liked were starting to be picked off 1 by 1. Here’s hoping Jeff gets rid of Jessie this week.. I’m willing to put up with Chima’s voice if that happens. I seem to be picking winners lately or at least people I liked are winning. Janine won on So You Think You Can Dance, Cathy won on I Survived a Japanese Gameshow, Kris won on American Idol (Ok.. I was rooting for anyone but Adam so I count that as a win), Tammy and Victor won the Amazing race and Melissa won The Next Food Network Star. So here is hoping Jeff takes it for Big Brother and keeps the streak alive.

My incredibly boring life is still just that so I will end this update here. Ciao

Ever since I got back from my last cruise, I went into a complete downward spiral. I stopped working out and stopped watching what I eat and while I haven’t stepped on a scale I’m pretty sure I gained back everything I lost. I even wrote a whole I’m depressed rant yesterday which I have made private out of embarrasment. Needless to say, I have been happier. I do think, that I am getting close to jumping back on the horse. I know I say this all the time but I really want to keep this blog updated, It’s just tough when I don’t do anything or see anybody or go anywhere. I need to get out more.

Anyhoo.. That’s what is going on right now. If anybody has questions or comments please leave one, it get’s lonely here sometimes.

Peace!

Only 5 more days until I hit the 30 day mark. That would be 1/3rd of the way through the program. It’s hard to believe I have been sticking to this by working out every day and eating healthy. This is definitly uncharted territory for me.

My friends on Facebook have certainly been with me every day as I’v been updating after my workouts. I have started drinking Shakeology for breakfast in the morning because that is usually the hardest meal of the day for me. What is Shakeology? It’s a health drink that comes in 2 flavors, chocolate and berry. I have the chocolate. It’s full of goodness from around the world and tastes pretty good too. Click on the link if you want more information on it. I basically blend 1 cup of light soy milk, half a frozen banana, a spoon full of organic peanut butter and a scoop of the shakeology. I’ve also mixed it with water, ice and a whole banana. I’m going to get some frozen strawberries this week and give that a try. I’m also drinking the P90X® Results and Recovery Formula after every workout.

I made a little video blog this morning after my workout.. here it is. I’ll be back on Friday with my day 30 results and pictures.
