If you really want to transform your body, get Power 90 and follow the instruction right down to taking the before, 45 day and after pics. Your before and after pics will shock you. I would post mine if my before was not so embarrassing. BTW, the food choices are as critical as the workout. Good Luck!

I'm starting this program tomorrow (yes the day before the fourth of July blow out) but now I'm concerned.....Will I wind up looking like Bobby J? :yikes:I mean you're a good looking guy and all but I really kind of like being a girl.

A note to tourists with friends who live at the beach:

If you think it is difficult to get the "vacation pounds" off the belt, please remember that we live here year round, and typically have friends visiting every other week, all who want to go out and eat and drink like tourists every day. It's delicious and fun, but please don't try to twist our arms if we decline. We are not on vacation, and our bodies cannot afford to dine and party as though we ARE on vacation.

We have actually had to send out calendars to our friends so they can reserve their slot at our house. We are booked up in July and most of August. Some of them will go out for a run or a bike ride with me but then we consume enough to totally negate any of the aforementioned activity.

You should see my wife. She is lean, mean fighting machine! After she did the 90 days she is in the best shape I have ever known her to be. Remember, what you put in is critical but do not ever let yourself be hungry.
Good luck and keep us posted. Just shut up and push play! :D

I just don't want to wind up with facial hair! :rotfl:
I had a serious ankle injury/surgery not long before I moved here. Since the move down here I stopped training on my mountain bike and being serious about running. If I can get into the shape I was in before moving to VactionLand, I'll be very happy.
My goal is to finish the Coosa River Challenge in 3.5 hours or less in October so this workout is only part of my riding/paddling/running training. Three years ago I did it in that time. Last year I was pushing it to finish in 6. :bang:

I hope your wife see this - man, what a wonderful compliment!!

A eating habit that works for me is Hara Hachi Bu - translated it means stop eating when 80% full. Now this might now work on vacation ;-) but in day to day life it works for me.

I don't do the Hara Hachi Bu, but I do the "mid-meal pause" to allow my "full tummy" sensors to catch up w/ my fork.

Ok, we held off starting until today. ChefEd wanted a good, clean beginning of the week start point. What a bonding experience for a couple, crying together on the deck with the sweat pouring down.
It was actually a good workout. I was able to do more pushups than I thought I would but fewer than required. My arms are rubber now. The squats and lunges felt great though.
Can't wait for tomorrow's cardio. I test drove that video Friday and it kicked my butt half way through.
Life is good.
