Day 89 – Power 90

One more day left (well, really two since it’s still early morning) and I am very pleased. I’ve been on antibiotics for the last three days, stemming from that bout of illness I mentioned awhile ago, and despite the illness and the drugs and all, I’ve still managed to hit every workout and even added a couple extra sessions on the bike. I’d tell you my weight now (which I’m pretty dang happy about), except that tomorrow is Day 90 when we’re supposed to weigh in and take pictures, etc…

We’re thinking of weighing on Day 90, and on Day 91 as we weigh in the morning, and we won’t get an accurate reading after the last workout on Day 90, and reporting the better number (which would hopefully be the Day 91 number).

We’ve also concluded that, while Jillian Michaels from The Biggest Loser may have it over Tony Horton in the fame category, he’s got a big lead over her in the “keeps me pressing play” category. He’s just more fun to work out with. If I had to keep watching Jillian over and over again, it’s all work and staying on task with her, I’d have to switch out videos a lot sooner than it took us to want to switch out Tony.

I’m not much of a web designer, and certainly not much of an artist, and it’s obvious when you look at IndieGameDev.com.

For the moment, it’s just placeholder stuff. Some links to some sites I frequent. In the future, I may add a forum, and maybe some other resources, but I got tired of having the domain point to nothing.

One Week Left

One week left until Day 90, and I can’t wait to get to it so I can start Power 90 Masters series and get rid of the next 30 pounds. As of this weekend, I hit 31 pounds lost, and I bought a new belt that will hopefully take me through the end of P90M.

In other news, Infinte Suns is seeing some progress again, though in a different form from the original MMO. It will be single player, and for the moment, will be essentially just a game where you fly your ship from station to station, trading or doing simple missions to gain money to buy new ships and weapons. Eventually, probably in IS2, it will have RPG elements like player stats and a skill tree, an optional storyline, more complicated missions, NPC’s that talk to you, etc… The goal, however, for the first iteration of Infinite Suns is just getting the basic game mechanics done and polished.

Day 77

There are two weeks left to go, and as of today, my weight loss stands at 29 pounds. I’m going to try to really push it and see if I can’t get that number up by doing an extra workout in the morning, probably just some light cardio (like bike riding) or something.

It’s hard to believe that the end of this program is so close. On Day 1, Day 90 seemed so very far away, almost like forever, but now that we’re down to it, it’s easy to see that 90 days really isn’t that much time. It doesn’t seem quick when you’re first starting out, but by the end you wonder where the time went, especially if you stick with it every day.

And that’s the key. Don’t slack off. Just do your workout every day, eat as clean as you can, and in no time, you’ll see results. But you have to work at it every day if you want to be fit and healthy. You can’t just lose a bunch of weight and then go back to your old habits or you will become the old you. It has to be a total lifestyle change.

After Day 90, we’re going to take a “break” from the heavy workouts for a week or so before getting into the Power 90 Masters series, which is on it’s way. I’m sooo looking forward to some new workouts. If there’s one unfortunate thing about power 90, it’s that there’s not enough variation in the routines to last 90 days without some amount of boredom toward the end. In fact, this last week, we substituted some other cardio workouts for the Sweat 3-4. For the last couple weeks, I think we’re going to rotate the three cardio workouts (Sweat 3-4, Power 90 Fat Burning Express, and Jillian Michaels Banish Fat Boost Metabolism). JM’s workout really kicked our butts because it was so different from what we’d been doing. Sweat poured off us in buckets.
