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 →

I recently did a bi-annual review of the “General State of Things” in my life and concluded (like the majority of people) that I wasn’t entirely happy with the way things are.

Perhaps it’s the high standards that I have set for myself and consciously decide to adhere to. In anything I’m highly interested where I choose to devote my time and energy, I dive into it and go as deep as possible. By my diving into a particular interest I may have (say public speaking), I aim for not only competency but mastery. Read the rest of this entry →

 

P90X Phase 2 Front

Okay, so it’s been QUITE some time since I wrote my last Fitness Update, but it doesn’t mean that I haven’t been hitting the gym as often as I could.

I finished Phase 2 fresh off the heels of Phase 1, and to be honest, I didn’t really follow through with the “recovery” week. I did maybe Core Synergistics and Plyometrics just to stay consistent with the cardio portion of the program. I also indulged in an order of filthy/greasy wings and two pints of Keith’s to wash them down … I earned it! Read the rest of this entry →

Well folks, it’s been one hell of a ride this year!  Reflecting over this last year, there were lots of victories and just as there were many failures I’ve experienced over the past year.

Before I continue, I will selfishly say that I’m writing this for me and only me to keep me accountable for what I’m mapping out for myself over the next year.   This will be for me to reflect upon for years to come, so this is warning in advance that this will be a LONG post, but if you want to check out what’s happened in my life over the last year you’re more than welcome to take a peek. Oh yeah, read on for a major announcement as well Read the rest of this entry →

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 →
