Yesterday afternoon I was hit with the sad news that a family friend had passed away suddenly. It was a sad moment and, as I rushed away from work to be with my wife and her family, I was fully prepared to just take a day off from P90X and be the support that I [...]
This morning, the stretch was just what the doctor ordered. I was uber sore from Legs & Back still — which I didn’t mind a bit, but wanted to get a good stretch in, hoping that by tomorrow’s Chest, Shoulders & Triceps I’d be refreshed and ready for action.

This morning’s little ditty is about my progress with P90X, and how it has turned out to be somewhat bittersweet. Don’t get me wrong — the physical transformation I can see is great and what I’m able to see my body do 16 days out in comparison to what I could (or couldn’t) do on day 1 is really quite staggering to think about. So what are those gains exactly?
