p90x

shmokes:
I went ahead and threw p90x into bittorrent.  I have no idea what it is, but I guess I'll take a look at it.  I still doubt very much that I'll use it cos I just don't have the time for that.  I can go to the gym at school and work out while listening to bankruptcy or evidence supplements on my iPod. 

BTW, I jumped on the scale and I'm closer to 15%.  It got me at 15.1% fat the first time and 14.7 the second.  About 5 years ago I was 8%! so while I'm not overweight by any stretch of the imagination, that's a pretty big shift.

FAT!

I actually prefer drinking breakfast, such as a slimfast or just a tall glass of milk. Lunch, not so much. Dinner is always with the family, so replacing it is out of the question.

I tell you what, with a smoothie breakfast I don't yawn during the day. The extra energy is very nice.

Breakfast is a feast or famine meal for me. It either has to be tons of meat, carbs, & sugar or nothing at all. Eating big breakfasts or simply bad breakfasts (2 donuts and a milk or McD's), are a major part of my problem. Simply replacing breakfast with a drink has allowed me to maintain my weight, no matter how bad I eat during lunch or dinner.

Oh and Dartful, would it help you out if I just lied to you and gave you 'ripped from the web' updates on p90x? Figured I'd offer that up since you off-hand blamed me for your failures.  :cheers:

I'm not much of a breakfast person.  If I'm in training for something I'll put down some oatmeal and juice but if I'm not I usually just get a cup of coffee and wait until lunch.  My major problem is usually waking up in the middle of the night and eating - sometimes I'm barely aware I even did it until that morning.  It is somehow related to the apnea and I haven't ever worked out how.

In the end it doesn't matter whether you measure on normal or athlete so long as you use the same setting the whole time

This is the scale I use:
Ironman Glass InnerScan
It sends an electrical current through your body to see how dense you mass is.  It knows the difference between flesh bone, and water.

The problem is on week 1 I'm a fat slob, by week 3 I'm an average "athlete". At first my fat% drops, then it started to go up.  I was pist I thought the diet/workout wasn't working.  I did a Google search and found that a combination of fat and solid muscle confused the scale.

I had a solid chest and arms, but I was still soft in the middle.

Since I'm both "obese" and an "athlete" the scale errors on the fat side.

I read the pull-up post after I wrote the above.

I bought the pull-up bar a few months ago it was 100 bucks on their website.  I saw the door gym infomercial for 25 bucks a week ago and said to myself "that figures".

All and all, if I can keep working out, it’d still be worth $100.

I agree with you about having to much equipment.  I have a free weight universal set that's taking up to much room.  If I'm not using it after I complete the 90 days I'll sell it.
