urk...

I'm sorry, but for lack of trying, this project has failed.

I do plan to reattempt it, but at a later date... :-(

thanks for reading.

Ugh... I'm so gross... :-P

So hopefully, I'll do this every week or so.

The Journey Begins

Ok, first Blog post on my new project. What am I doing, you may ask? I'm going to get fitter, leaner, and meaner (ok, maybe not that last part). I've acquired a set of the P90X disks at a yard sale. Actually, it's the P90X + Plus... now, does that mean that it's a "plus PLUS" or is the PLUS an acronym for something else?

Anyway, some background. I'm about 289 lbs, 5'9" Filipino male living a sedentary lifestyle, in a high-stress job situation, a community college schedule, and an addiction to taco bell Grilled Stuffed Burritos and Mountain Dew Baja Blast/CocaCola mixtures (yeah, it's really a problem). I've been diagnosed with asthma, so I don't really do the whole activity thing. Thankfully, I'm not super-super fat, owing to the fact that I rarely have time to blink, much less eat.

P90X is promising that in just an hour a day, for 90 days, I will be able to see the abdominals I'm sure exist under this spare tire. BlogSpot is providing an impetus for me to actually keep up with this, since (hopefully) people will be bugging me to... or at least I can document my failure/success...

Now, why is this the Faux90X program? Well, here's the thing-- I'm a cheapskate. Who isn't? So, I'm also hoping to find cheaper alternatives to the P90X/Beachbody nutrition bars, shakes, and supplements. We'll be building some exercise equipment (without hurting ourselves hopefully) and getting creative all around.

So, hopefully, this will be fun and even entertaining (for you if not for me X_x) and let's see how this goes!
