Good Morning CGs!
Ahhhhh...the end of January. I'm excited. Seemed like an extremely long month. I can now look forward to almost warmer months. Of course we are supposed to get a massive cold snowstorm to celebrate the event. Oh well. It's also payday which is good...I think I'm still paying off holiday bills, but not sure. Looking forward to getting all the tax stuff in order. Of course, you are always happy to do your taxes when you get money back...not so much when you have to pay  Hope everyone else can beat up the taxman this year, too. If not, have a few more babies like I did.Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew |

Good Morning
I'm doing my best to start on a happy note today. I'm gonna have a nice day today if it friggin kills me. The rodeo yesterday was not as good as some of the ones they had in years past. The kids had a good time though. We had 4 little ones with our group. You have to keep them mentally stimulated with different types of activities but I'm sure you young bucks already know that. Prepping the boat and fishing gear today for a possible fishing trip tomorrow. Hope the weather cooperates. I have two open offers to go fishing in the Keys when I have a day to play. The cars are all asking me if they can go for a ride. The wife has plans for me for the rest of the week from Wednesday on. Guess I can say there is no shortage of things for me to do. That's before I even talk about my chore list. Mama-Mia I better start getting busy ...... |

The couch won yesterday, I accomplished - Zero.
Today I'm going to strive for more than - Zero. But I can't do much this morning cause I have to wait for the Maytag repairman. |

Greetings! The roads were extra greasy this morning, with a nice coat of slick, fresh snow - made for a delightful commute. While I'm waiting for the coffee to kick in, I'm keeping an eye on CNN to see if Mubarak walks like an Egyptian.
Have a good day, all! |

Back to the grind this morning. Oh well!
I did get some work done on the car yesterday. Still cleaning stuff up. I started to clean the driveshaft and got carried away. It's now the most shiney object on my car! Now I need to make the half shafts and batwing look like that. Yeah right! The bottom of the car is getting cleaner and the engine compartment is almost ready to sit the motor back in. I still have some paint touch up to do on the firewall, heat shielding to apply, and replace a few connectors. I'm resisting the urge to remove perfectly good calipers and rotors to simply clean them up better. More later... I'd like to see that Beer show.... maybe it will re-run. |

Morning gents! Snowy cold gray but I feel goooood! Just did my P90X workout so I got that oxygen debt high going. Actually for me it was a P30X. Do your best forget the rest! The whole family has bought in and the hardest part is the food prep and staying on target there.
Ultraboy has put on 25 or more lbs since he broke his arm and a lot of it is fat. He is working out but not enough aerobics so to get him to do the P90 we all had to agree to do it. We eat not so good some times because we don't want to take time to fix something so it's down to the fast food joints to stock up on fat. We like the system because it is all laid out with the excercise and meal plans each day. We took before pics and we will see what we look like in 90. I don't think I will post them on the Guru. Let's start the week off by kicking some ass and getting some work done. Have a good day! |

My choices of unusual dietary selections continue. Yesterday I enjoyed fried conch, a funnel cake dusted with powdered sugar and a dinner at the local Chinese buffet. Today, nothing like a roll of DoSiDo Girl Scout cookies and a few cups of coffee for breakfast. Maybe I should write a diet book. Sort of an Eat This Not That.

Hi Guru's 30 minutes to go and another day in the wood shop is over. Kids are bustin their asses today. School projects are all over the place, school corp projects are in various stages of completion.
Northern Indiana is expecting a blizzard warning for later tonight and Tuesday. This is getting old! Started all the vehicles Sunday let them warm up and checked for mice nests, Even though I put Sta-Bil in all the tanks the 55 Chevy smelled like stale, old gas, Maybe float bowls are full of gunk.... really ran rich. Well guys its time to dump the dust collector and clean this pit of a shop up for the day.. Talk to ya later. |

Afternoon guys...it has been an extremely busy day. This is the part I hate about missing a day of teaching, it takes three times the time to catch up what you had the kids do when you were gone. On top of that my principal called this morning and wanted to come in and evaluate me.....O KAY. So it has been busy, busy.
Marcus, P90X is much harder, much more intense, than the old P90 that I do. My daughter told me this past weekend that I could have her copy of P90X. Nah, I think I'll stick with my version. But Matt is right eating right make a big difference. Tommy's funnel cakes aren't on the diet... We have started getting the weather here. We are under a winter storm watch, the wind is blowing and instead of snow, we are getting some freezing drizzle, making things slick. The snow is supposed to start later, although snow alone isn't the problem, but wind and wind chills in the -15 to -20. Don, glad to hear you are making progress on the cleaning of the car before you get the engine and trans back. The effort will all be worth it when you are all done. |

Tom, I think the 90X is just double what the P90 does. Do you go for an hour or 1/2 hour? On most days they will go through the excercises and then do them all again. I do ok on the first half hour but it gets real sloppy on the last half. Ya sometimes I just lay there like a slug.
It gets worse, they have a program now called Insanity, where you are supposed to get ripped in 60 days. No old guys in those ads. |

Surely mini-donuts are on the P90X menu - they're half air, after all ;-)

Marcus.......about a half hour is all mine is. 40 minutes one day and 26 (or so) the next.Insanity is the reason my daughter offered me the 90X, she has moved to "Insanity". I watched her do one workout, crap, that one would literally kill me. Matt, I don't think mini-donuts are on there either.... Tommy, I'm pretty sure that not the case. |

Strangly enough, they showed up on Ultraboys menu along with stuffed crust pizzas and crab rangoons. After I got my reading glasses on I saw that he had tried to print real neatly under the shrimp stir fry and butternut squash soup. |

We're getting a snow storm tomorrow, and everyone is freaking out. The bad thing is it has been raining off and on with freezing temps. In town is fine. On my way home I hit a patch of black ice. It was not fun, but everything is alright. I had no control over anything. I think if I would have hit the brakes I would of been in the ditch. Then I slid sideways down my driveway (its a sideways slope).

P90X is totally different than Power 90. You will see Tony doing some similar techniques and exercises with the weightlifting stuff, but other than that it's a different program. Power 90 is broken down into two segements "sculpt" and "sweat" - basically lifting/resistance and cardio. I think it came with a diet plan, but I didn't get it since I bought some DVDs used. Videos are shorter, around a half an hour each. P90x has about 10 different videos...half are different muscle groups of strength training, the others are cardio, plyometrics, kempo, power yoga, stretching, and maybe one more. It also has the comprehensive eating plan. Videos range from around 50 minutes to an hour and a half. I have never done Insanity. From what I have read, Insanity is just a killer cardio and core workout for an extended period of time. It doesn't focus on weightlifting at all. If your only goal is to lose weight and get some definition but not real upper body strength, this would be good, although hard. http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitn ... s/p90x.do?tnt=P90X_MSC_C1 http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/power90.do http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/insanity.do As with anything, you get out what you put in. I vary my workout plans all the time. I'm feeling (and looking) better now than ever, so I guess it says something. Let me know if you have any questions. Matthew |
