Tell me I'm Powerful! Tell me I'm Amazing!

The line above came from Jorge Gurgel in Season 2 of UFC's The Ultimate Fighter. My friends and I thought it was the funniest thing we've ever seen and heard on TV. 5 years later, we still laugh at this piece of TV gold.

In recent months, this line has meant a little more to me. A few years ago, I was obese, medically speaking. My BMI rating was above 30 and I realized I better do something about it. I tried eating better and exercising and was able to get into overweight status. Although I think BMI is a piece of crap for shorter people, it got me off my butt. I do believe at least I'm healthier now.

In March 2010, I decided to start p90x and was able to complete the entire 90 day plan. I was satisfied with the results but decided I wanted to take it up a notch and do Insanity. After a month of doing that I realized I lost a lot of the few strength gains I got from p90x. So, enter this new blog.

Why Powerful and Amazing?

Why not? I'd read a lot of information on people doing both programs at the same time and was going to look into creating one myself. But now that I've gotten a taste of Insanity, I figure I'll just go ahead and do my hybrid program now (before I turn into a super-weakling).  Cuz doing both will (hopefully) make me powerful and amazing.

So my future posts will be about the hybrid program I strung together and if it will produce the results I'm looking for. Also probably some info on a few races that I'm interested in doing and other stuff that I might feel like sharing.
