Now I Am Really Excited!

2012-01-11T18:58:00.002-05:00

Hey Gang, As the title says, I am really excited because as you can see our Les Mills Pump program arrived today. Can't wait to get home and start reading the material and assemble the equipment. The fact that it is actually in my possession, really has me fired up. Back when the program was released Allie and I talked about doing the program, but we had to wait for her to get medical

So Far So Good

Hey Gang, I started changing the way I eat on Tuesday January 3rd, 2012 (changed it back to the way it used to be, the way it should be). I weighed myself Sunday morning and was pleasantly surprised by the number I saw on the scale. During my first week back on the healthy eating wagon I lost 3 pounds, with no exercise at all (unless you count a few games of Just Dance 2 on wii and rough

Hey Guys, Duh, of course it's hard right??? It is really is amazing that for the last few years more often then not I ate the right way, but a few months of not caring what I ate totally screwed everything up. I know I just posted yesterday (even though it say January 3rd) about what I was going through. So to get rid of any confusion, Allie and I went back to making healthy choices about what

I've really had a tough time getting my thoughts out onto any medium (paper included), so please don't take offense to my lack of posting. Since everyone keeps telling me that what I am going through is nothing to be ashamed of and that a lot of people actually suffer from it and

Hey Gang, I just looked at my blog today and realized it has been almost a month since a last posted. Shame on me! So much has been going on and I have not been sharing it with you. So where to begin? Well lets start with the fact that I am doing a new exercise program. Last we spoke I had gotten clearance from the doctor to start exercising again, unfortunately I couldn't do the program I

HAND STRENGTH: What Is It and Why Do YOU Need It? by Dave Whitley, Master RKC

2011-10-04T11:11:00.001-04:00

Why are strong hands important? Because your hands are the portal to your strength, the thing that connects you to your kettlebell, barbell, golf club, tennis racket, opponent or bag of groceries. Without your hands you cannot express your strength in the majority of sports. Even in a sport like soccer, which is hands-off, the athlete must have a connection to a barbell or similar implement to

Knowing that I had my doctor appointment this past Friday, I decided to do The Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse on Wednesday. Deep down inside I knew that he would give me the clearance to begin exercising again (he also challenged me

2011-09-14T18:26:00.002-04:00

Hey Gang, Saying I'm sorry is not something I do very easily (just ask Allie), but after listening to yesterday's National Coach Call I believe that an apology is in order. It seems that I may have lost sight as to why I originally became a Team Beachbody Coach. Now, I'll be honest I did originally join to get the 25% discount on P90X. At that time I was tired of going to the gym and needed a

Hey Gang, As you can probably tell I am pretty frustrated these days. There I was trucking along on with Convict Conditioning and Couch to 5k. Oh yeah I guess I should fill you in about what I was doing before I get to my confusion. I know it has been a long time since the last time I posted, so let me catch you up to date. On August 7th, 2011 my amazing wife not only took part in, but did

Part 2OK, so now it is February of 2008 and I have basically given up going to the gym. This happened for several reasons. First, I get bored very easy. As I mentioned in Part 1 I was no longer working with a trainer. Now before my sessions expired he did put me on a plan to try and steer me in the right direction. However I can only do the same work out for so long, before I get bored and

2011-05-25T12:40:00.002-04:00

Hey Gang,So during the time that I have had to take off and from my success/failure at the 5k a few weekends ago, I've come to a few realizations. First things is the weekends are my undoing it. They always start with a cheat meal (usually pizza) and then the next thing I know said cheat meal turns into cheat day, then cheat weekend. Thus wiping out all of my hard work during the previous week

What's Going On?

2011-05-23T21:26:00.004-04:00

Hey Gang,What's going on? Well 20 days ago I posted my Insanity Fit Test Results, and then proceeded to start Round 2 the very next day (remember Day 1 is just the Fit Test). Week 1 went really well and I was excited about the progress I was going to make during this round. Well as has been the story of my life sometimes things don't go as they are planned. Day 1 of Week 2, still on program.

Insanity Round 2, Day 1: The Fit Test

2011-05-03T11:49:00.003-04:00

Hey Gang,Well it has begun again. I have decided that I wanted to do another round of Insanity. I feel that since this is a high intensity cardio based program it will get me in the best shape possible by May 14th as well as the Triathlon Allie and I are going to attempt in July (Insanity will be completed the week before). Am I making a mistake by not doing any specific running, biking or

Hey Guys,So here is what I have learned. You know the saying it takes 21 days to create a habit? Well that works for both good and bad habits. As you already know I hurt my leg about a month ago and it took roughly 3 weeks for it to start to feel better, or at least good enough that I could attempt to run. So I started The Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse with hopes of restarting my running program

Well let's start off with what is The Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse.The key is to follow the same regimen all three days.Essentials:3 Shakeology shakes per day 2 cups of green tea per day 1 or 2 pieces of fruit per day (optional) 1 salad for dinner—can include

How do I know this, well that is part of the great news. The great news is yesterday Allie not only ran her 5k (benefiting local cervical cancer research), but she also beat the goal time that she set for herself

Hey Gang,So as part of sharing my journey with you people I have always made a point to share both good and bad experiences along the way. Generally there have been more good then bad (I think). Well, yesterday was one of those bad experiences. Last night before dinner I climbed on to my treadmill to get in my run for that day. I had set a little mini goal for myself of running for 6 minutes

Insanity is Insane!

2011-03-16T13:57:00.003-04:00

Hey Gang,So as you can see I changed up the training program a little bit. My runs have been improving on a daily basis, but I still seem to get winded a bit to easily. So with that in mind I decided to add the king of all cardio programs back into the mix. In case you couldn't guess from the title of the post, I'm talking about Insanity. The other reason I decided to make this change is on

She Did It Again!

Hey Gang,Well I am happy to report that Allie once again kicked my ass, she dropped a whopping 5.5 pounds (15 pounds in 2 weeks). Is she on fire or what? Me I didn't lose anything last week, but in my defense I was playing around with my caloric intake. I have been pushing myself really hard these last 2 weeks and I don't think that 1600 calories is enough. So I upped my intake to 1800

2011-03-03T11:45:00.003-05:00

Hey Gang,Well I think it is pretty obvious by now that I've caught a bug. No, I'm not sick. It's the fitness bug and thanks to the support of my amazing wife Allie, my friends and family, I've got it bad. So here is the deal, as I mentioned before I am running in the Mayfair 5k (benefiting the Fallen Heroes Fund) on May 14th, 2011 (my 39th birthday). As of this coming Saturday it is 11 weeks

Pushing Through

2011-03-01T14:03:00.001-05:00

Hey Gang,Let me tell you how tough yesterday's run was. First I think my metabolism is starting to pick up a bit, I was hungry all day yesterday. It didn't matter what I ate or how much water I drank I just couldn't get enough food. So I probably over ate a little at dinner, but I still came in under my calories for the day. However I just didn't feel right and came really close to blowing

How Proud Am I?

2011-02-28T11:34:00.006-05:00

Hey Gang,So as I mentioned in my previous post Allie and I are taking part in a Team Challenge over on MFP. Well I am proud to say she kick my a*s this week (remember we are not on the same team). I lost 6 pounds this week, which is pretty awesome if I do say so myself, but she lost a whopping 9.5 pounds! Those are like Biggest Loser type numbers. I am so proud of all the hard work she is

Now I know in the past I have stated that I am not a big believer in making NYR's, but this year I felt it was necessary to force me out of the month long funk I was in. Before I get into what the resolutions are, I'd like to share what the

Hey Gang,So today's assignment for Chalene's 30 Day Challenge involves creating a list of goals that you would like to see happen over the next 12 months. Now this is something I can sink my teeth, because as they say a dream becomes a goal when you actually write it down. The only problem I had with this assignment is the fact that I have to come up with 10 goals. My brain is not used to

Chalene's 30 Day Challenge: Day 2

2011-01-02T20:23:00.003-05:00

Hey Gang,So remember yesterday when I said I hoped that today's assignment would be easier for me. Wrong! I think part of my struggles with today's assignment came from that fact that my # 1 priority was making it hard to complete the assignment. The other thing that I struggled with is that in order for me to do the assignment I had to do one of the things that I know I shouldn't be doing.

Couch to 5k/P90X Hybrid Days 1-3

2010-11-11T14:04:00.002-05:00

Hey Gang,So far I have done 3 days of the hybrid that I created. I say created, but it's not exactly rocket science here. I am basically switching out all of the cardio days for the running days. As I go through this process I will try to give you a blow by blow of my training and progress. So let's get started.Day 1 was a 5 minute walk, a 2 minute jog and a 5 minute walk. After completing

Fit Test Results and What's Next

2010-11-09T11:00:00.001-05:00

Hey Gang,I know you have been anxiously waiting to here what I plan on doing next, but before I get to that I thought I would share with you my final Fit Test results in comparison to my Day 1 Fit Test results. So here goes....Well as you can see I showed a significant improvement in several of the moves. However, only increasing by 5 with the Switch Kicks kind of has me bummed a bit. I like

My Insanity Review

2010-11-08T13:05:00.001-05:00

Hey Gang,Well it's Monday and I am proud to say I am officially an Insanity grad. So what did I think of the program? I honestly don't think I could speak highly enough about it. Every work out, no matter how many times you do it, pushes you to your very limit. It does the same to the "thin and in shape" people in the videos. It is very reassuring to see people on a work out DVD having to

"Why You Would Be Brain Dead Not to Start a Home-Based Business" by GET FIT WITH BARBIE

Hey Gang,Just thought I would share another gem from the great Barbie Decker. This woman is a true inspiration to many. I am constantly amazed at how willing she is to share what she learns with others. It has been said many time, by many people in many companies, but with Team Beachbody it is 100% true. With Team Beachbody you are in business for yourself, but not by yourself. It doesn't

SELF DISCIPLINE: The mortar in your success in anything that you do in Life by Mike French

SELF DISCIPLINE: Self-discipline is the assertion of willpower over more base desires, and is usually understood to be a synonym of 'self control'. Self-discipline is to some extent a substitute for motivation, when one uses reason to determine a best course of action that opposes one's desires Discipline controls all aspects on your success in your Fitness, Nutrition, & Business.

Insanity: Phase 2 - Week 2 Review

2010-10-27T11:35:00.002-04:00

Hey Gang,Sorry if it seems like I dropped off the face of the earth. It's been quite a busy time in the Janoff household. With three kids and their sports and other after school activities, sometimes posting just doesn't make it to the top of the priority list. The good news is I am still pushing play with Insanity and getting close to completing the program. I'm actually a few days into Week

It's T-Shirt Time!!!!

OK Guys, The women have their little black dress challenge going on for New Years. So I thought what challenge could us guys do for New Years. That's when it hit me. What about T-Shirt Time yes from the TV show Jersey Shore. Unfortunately my wife got me watching that train wreck of a show. It is actually full of classic lines (like dirty little hamster), but one that stuck out to me was prior to

Insanity: Phase 2, Week 1 Review

2010-10-18T12:00:00.000-04:00

Hey Gang,Just thought I would give you update on my progress as I go through Phase 2 of Insanity. As you know I also have been taking my friends advice (whom I am still trying to get to become a Beachbody Coach) about how I should be eating while taking on Phase 2. I have to admit it is working. When I started Phase 2 I weighed 256 pounds and as of this morning I weighed 248 pounds. That's an

Hey Gang,Today's law deals with something I am sure most of you are quite familiar with, I know I am. I know in these tough economic times most people have more on their plate then they would like. I know there are people out there who lie awake at night wondering if they can make it to their next paycheck. This is why I feel today's law is one of the most important of Tony's Laws. Enjoy!
