Blog Revisited....

OK. I'm here, I'm feeling healthy, and I'm an ass for not blogging much. Now for the rest of the story.....I've resumed training. I worked out on P90X over the winter and now I have started cycling and running again. P90X was the way to go. I started the year in much better shape than I did when I just used the treadmill, and rollers during the winter months. I feel much more strong and lean. I will be riding in my 5th MS150 ride next Saturday and I'm really looking forward to it.

It is a great event, and I get to spend time with my best friends.

My kids are doing well also. My oldest was a freshman in high school this year, and he earned two varsity letters, was the VP of his class this year, was a scholar athlete, and was just voted to be the president of his class next year. Not a bad year huh? My younger sons, Matt and Will are both moving on in school and are growing too darn fast. They are constantly beating each other up, but they are at a very fun age.

Somehow, my facebook page showed that I was doing an Ironman this year...no, not this year, but it did motivate me to get back at some harder training. I cannot forget that dream. I don't know if it will ever happen, but I have to try.

Anyway, I had better get back to work....Have a great day everyone!!!

Still here....

I know, I KNOW!! I'm a terrible blogger. You all should stone me in the town square. LOL I think about all of you often, and I will get my act together and blog again.

P90X...It works...

Here is proof. I am now a coach, trying to spread the word, and get more people involved with BeachBody products. I am a true believer!! Check out my site. www.beachbodycoach.com/jahowie

I Know What I Would Say....

I just can't say it here.

P90X...Halfway There!!

Today is day 45!! I'm halfway through P90X. I am feeling great!! Last night I kicked Plyometrics out. It is getting easier and I am getting some serious air on some of the moves. I'm noticing differences in my physique and overall fitness. I used to die during Plyo, but now I'm pacing around the room waiting for the next move to start so that I can bring it!! Tonight will be Biceps, and Back, finishing up with my good friend Ab Ripper X. When I first saw the infomercial I never thought that I would be able to do the Mason Twists at the end of the Ab Ripper workout, but now I am doing 60 plus!! I still have a little bit of side chub that I need to knock off, but it's coming along. I'll try to get on my computer at home during lunch and post some pics. I'll try to get on my blog more often too. I haven't had much free time lately. Sorry about that. :-)

P90X Continues....

Julie and I started week 5, Phase 2, yesterday and it was a very intense workout. We did Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps finishing with Ab Ripper X, and I felt like I was going to throw up. I brought it as hard as I could, and I had a very good pump going. When we finished the 56 minute workout and moved into the abs, my arms were shaking so bad that I wasn't sure if I would make it through the ab workout, but I did with a lot of grunting and groaning. I am still really digging this workout, and I will probably buy the P90X Plus once I finish the 90 days. I want to continue to push myself, and be in the best shape that I can be. Tonight is Plyometrics again, and I am ready to jump, spin, and lunge my way around the living room again. Julie and I are both seeing improvements in our physique and our overall fitness. I'm hoping that the weather will improve soon so that I can get out and combine some running with this. I am planning to run the Dexter/Ann Arbor Half Marathon again this year and I will need to get some running in. I hope that everyone is doing well. I'll report again soon on my progress. Sorry...still no pics....I took some, but I'm typing this at work. Soon....I promise. :-)

Week 4 P90X....

Still working my tail off on the P90X. I haven't missed a workout and I am seeing results. Anyone who has watched the infomercial and thought about trying it should do it!! I am in my fourth week, and I can see not only strength improvements, but I am getting a lot more flexible which is huge for me. I hope to write a full report with pictures soon.
