My Transformation Challenge (P90X) results (numbers only) so far… Day 28

10:19 pm in New Year's Resolutions, P90X, cross training, energy, goal setting, self improvement by Will

This is a repost from my Lifestream blog WillLam.ca.  I decided to do P90X (again) because I never followed through on the entire program, only finishing up to Phase 2 as you can see in my previous posts.  When I reflect back on my previous attempts at P90X, they were misguided and done haphazardly without much thought or research besides “doing everything by the book”.  This time I’m taking my nutrition plan and putting that to the forefront of everything else as it accounts for more than 50% of the results you achieve.

Below is a embedded Google Document of my results so far, up until yesterday, January 24, 2010. Read the rest of this entry →

Are you an unconscious dabbler or do you strive for mastery?

3:20 pm in P90X, goal setting, public speaking, purpose, self improvement by Will

New Year’s Resolutions versus Dedications

4:18 pm in New Year's Resolutions, goal setting, self improvement by Will

Besides completing the Tony Robbins Personal Power II program which has brought in a world of massive change, it will be an extension or prelude to the Traditional New Year’s resolution. It’s not just your typical, “I’m going to start working out at the gym every day” or “I am going to quit smoking” sort of resolution. Rather, I’m using the Personal Power II program as a catalyst in place of the Traditional New Year’s Resolution, in order to bring forth all of the driving forces in my life follow through on all these massive changes and goals that I have set out for myself for the next year, 3, 5, 10 and 20 years. Yes, that far ahead. Read the rest of this entry →

It arrived!

12:41 am in confidence, self improvement by Will

After an excruciatingly long wait while constantly checking the delivery status on the Fedex website, the Tony Robbins’ flagship product Personal Power II has finally arrived! Some of you have said to me, “why don’t you download it for free instead of buying it?!” I’ve been there, and done that. Although I’ve learned a hell of a lot from Tony’s other programs such as Get The Edge and The Time of Your Life, I’ve decided to put my money where my mouth is after vouching for the effectiveness of Tony’s products.
