I don't hate blogging and posting things on friends' "walls", but I'm just lazy. So here you go. New post. No ones probably going to read this.

]]>P90X Day 2.5http://www.thevisualnoise.com/home/2010/3/3/p90x-day-25.htmlAdrian2010-03-04T07:33:13ZAhh, the joys of working out. Sore muscles, not being able to do all the things I like to do: sitting comfortably, walking comfortably... wait a minute. Ugh! My body is so sore! So I'm taking a break today. I was at church for like 11 hours, got home, and then knew that I just needed a break. I'll start back up tomorrow. It's nice to know that I can do that.

But yesterday was day 2. It was my first time trying Cardio X. And it's really cool. It's a mix of plyometrics, core synergistics, yoga x, and kenpo x. It was fun, went by fast, but was still a tough workout. I missed working out. Not because I love how I feel after... 'cause to tell you the truth I'm hurting. But what a good feeling it is to finish a workout and know that you're making progress.

That's all I got. If you haven't tried it, you should.

]]>Guess Who's Back? P90X Day 1 again.http://www.thevisualnoise.com/home/2010/3/1/guess-whos-back-p90x-day-1-again.htmlAdrian2010-03-02T07:55:44ZSo where have I been? Well I found out that I had a HUGE kidney stone. So large that it was impossible to pass and too large to remove by normal means. I had surgery to have it removed and was out of commission for a few weeks. So now I'm back and have decided to start p90X Lean. It is a slightly different program that emphasizes on trimming down and not as much resistance training.

So day 1 was a little hard. After not working out for so long it takes a bit to get back into the swing of things. Core Synergistics was today. Lots of different stuff but it's nice because of the variety. And let me tell you one of the coolest things. So in the time I haven't been working out and, to be honest, not eating as well, I've still stayed around the same weight. I think part of it is because my metabolism has grown and also because my eating habits are a bit better than before. It's an encouraging effect of this great program.

So if you're reading this and you've been on the fence... do it! You won't regret it. As long as you want to make changes and have the drive, you will see amazing results. I have. Alright, until next time.

]]>P90X Days 64&65http://www.thevisualnoise.com/home/2010/1/9/p90x-days-6465.htmlAdrian2010-01-09T21:47:48Z

When you're sitting and watching TV and know you have to workout and you just feel like eating and laying there... just push play. Once again it happened today. I sleep in a bit, wake up tired, am hungry, watching TV, and know that Legs & Back are looming. I could just lay there but I put on my shorts, dry-fit shirt, socks and shoes, and then my brain clicks. It says, "You're dressed like that already you dummy. Just go workout!" I listened and I am glad. It's not that I love the way it feels to expose my body to that kind of pain, but it sure does feel good to know that I'm done and I don't have to think about (a) doing it later when I get back from church and dinner or (b) skipping it altogether and feeling bad about myself. Ah the relief. If you're in the same situation remember to: Just Push Play.

]]>P90X Day 63... Hardest Day Ever!http://www.thevisualnoise.com/home/2010/1/7/p90x-day-63-hardest-day-ever.htmlAdrian2010-01-07T08:09:50ZP90X

This week has been super tough. After a small hiatus my body is in shock as I get back in the groove of things. And after a long day at work and getting home around 10:15, I had a choice: Either I plop down and watch something on TV or play Call of Duty or I just get changed and work out and push through. Obviously I worked out, but man it was hard. Arms and Shoulders weren't too bad, but then AB Ripper X ripped me apart! My abs were already so sore and then during AB Ripper they were like, "Are you kidding me? You think this hurts, wait until tomorrow morning stupid!" Whatever. I just pushed play and got through it. To all those who started keep it up, you won't be sorry... sort of. Here's to a good night's rest.

]]>P90X Day 62... ouchhttp://www.thevisualnoise.com/home/2010/1/6/p90x-day-62-ouch.htmlAdrian2010-01-06T06:27:24ZP90X

Plyometrics. Wow, what a bear. After not working out for a bit it was really hard to keep up. But it's done. I just found out some more of my friends have started P90X for the new year. Keep at it everyone. It'll be over before you know it. Yeah!!

]]>P90X Update... I'm backhttp://www.thevisualnoise.com/home/2010/1/5/p90x-update-im-back.htmlAdrian2010-01-05T06:57:22ZLife P90X

After a short hiatus I'm back. 2 crazy weeks at the end of December and the flu kept me down, but I'm back. Rough day though. Getting back into it after a few weeks of consistent working out is painful. But some cool news... I upped all my reps by a lot on today's workout. It's working, and oh yeah, I've lost a total of 30 pounds in a little over two months. good luck to my friends who are starting the X this week. Keep pushing play and you won't be sorry.

]]>P90X Week 7 Done... barely!http://www.thevisualnoise.com/home/2009/12/22/p90x-week-7-done-barely.htmlAdrian2009-12-23T07:41:22ZSo last week was a tough week. I work at a church and we have 10 Christmas Concerts in four days and rehearsals and the whole nine. So I was getting home super late and was super tired in the mornings. I only missed two workouts. Not too bad. And I still lost some weight. This week is hard too. Christmas Eve services and rehearsals. I think I might just miss one workout. But I'm still going and nothing's gonna stop me now, oh no, I got to keep on movin'!

]]>P90X Week 7.5... Missed my first workout!!!http://www.thevisualnoise.com/home/2009/12/16/p90x-week-75-missed-my-first-workout.htmlAdrian2009-12-16T18:47:06ZA bit of a bummer to miss my first workout. Yesterday was a little too hectic. I should have waken up earlier. So I made sure it happened today. Biceps and Back. Tough workout but is a real rewarding one. Oh, and one of my biggest accomplishments is that I did 40 Mason Twists!!!! OMG so hard!!!

Another thing happening this week that is a challenge for P90X is Christmas performances at church this week. 10 concerts in 4 days. If you are in the Bay area come by Twin Lakes Church. Alright, halfway done. Talk to you in a bit.
