Peoples of the Blogosphere!!!
Greetings from the Town of the Cow, lovely little Fort Worth, Texas, USA!!
Well, things did not go exactly according to plan today, but more got accomplished than occurred in the past few days. Feel as though I really am coming out of some funk, so that can only be good!!
Just finished up with P90X Shoulders and Arms - not spectacular, but a very steady, workmanlike effort, and I got 'er dun!!!!
I do abs on cardio days now, so I'll catch that tomorrow with the Stairmaster. Also have another little Physical Therapy session in the AM (for my achilles). Other than bloating me up like a balloon (okay, not quite that bad, but close!), the steroids didn't do much lasting good, so the PT is going to have to do the trick. I think it will. They do a routine of heating it up, ultrasounding it, massaging it, then stretching it like a big dog. It's all good up to the stretching part - that's when it be hurtin' me!!
Okay then, so that's about it from this end. If there is anything I can do to help you get rolling with your workouts, get started, improve, motivate, encourage, etc., please don't hesitate to give me a shout out! I'm having to practically start from scratch again, so maybe we're in the same boat!! I know what it's like to be in TERRIBLE shape and turn that completely around, and now I know what it's like to have a disappointing setback and have to have a do-over! So let me help if I can!
Okay then, peace out people, and peace IN too!! Jim B.

Cardio Burn
Accountability for my workout: Did an hour on the Stairmaster for a cool 800 calorie wipeout! Had a physical therapy session before the workout and I'm hopeful that I'll eventually get back to tougher cardio workouts like Plyometrics and Core Synergistics and such. But I'm grateful for what I CAN do right now. P90X Shoulders and Arms and Ab Ripper X are on tap for tomorrow!
What I've got is a relatively mild situation with my surgery, because there are people out there who have a lot worse problems. I'm amazed at what people can do if they put their mind to it. How about you, friend? Maybe you have a hardship or maybe you don't. Maybe there is a physical problem or perhaps just some mental blocks. Maybe you don't know where or how to start. Ultimately the decisions will be made by you, but if you are struggling, I encourage you to get started somehow, some way. I will be glad to help you in any way I can, so don't hesitate to ask.
That's about it for tonight. I'm eventually going to get some articles, videos, and such on here, so I hope you'll hang with me, participate a little or a lot, and keep coming back to look for new stuff.
Until then, peace and blessings to ya! Jim B.

P90X, New Round, Week 1
Hello blogosphere!
Just wanted to pop in here and report accountability. Knocked out the first week of my new round of X, and did a fairly good job with all the workouts. Nutrition was good in some places, not so good in others. Ready for some knuckle down buckle down this week, and really the rest of the month. I have a goal to reach by December 31, and I am determined to meet it!! What is the goal, you might ask? I intend to weigh 205 lbs on New Year's Eve (weight today was 225). I know that seems like a lot, but it has not been unusual for me to lose weight in a hurry. I will be eating good food, hydrating well, getting vitamins, etc., but I will also be BRINGING IT in my workouts. Let's see what happens!
If there is any way I can help you with workouts, either by actual instruction/advice or by encouragement, support, and motivation, please feel free to contact me! Let's make something happen for you!!
Peace and blessings! Jim B.
