Today was a very cool day. A full day. The coolest thing was that I got to participate in the 100th episode of the Power Blast Podcast with Perry Tinsley. He Tweeted asking people to join him for the pre-recording of his 100th episode and I just could not pass it up. It was a pretty cool episode where Perry went over some of the details about how he got started and then he had some past guests speak about their experience on the show and some of their favorite episodes.

And he even asked me and another fan if we had any comments. The other person was much more eloquent than I was. I kinda choked but pretty much just thanked him for all that he does. He is a very interesting and inspirational person and you should check out the Power Blast Podcast some time.

Today’s workout was KenpoX but I decided to swap it for Kenpo Cardio Plus. I needed a change.

I also shoveled some snow today, to the tune of about 450 calories and then ran for 1/2 an hour. The running was mainly just to “tune up” my heart rate monitor and adjust the Zones it uses to track my heart rate and the calories I burn. I burned a TON of calories today and am starting to get scared that I am overtraining. But one problem. I’m addicted! I can’t stop!

OK, something I have been struggling with lately is the whole calorie/nutrition thing. I want to lose body fat so, from what I read, I need to burn more than I eat. But I also read that in order to put on muscle, which is something else I want to do, I need to eat more than I burn! I am so confuzed!

And I also read that my running may be sabotaging my muscle increase and that interval and strength training are better than long slow runs.

So I got this crazy idea that I would do a P90X/P90X Plus hybrid workout. Maybe P90X in the morning and then in the afternoon, instead of running, I would do a P90X Plus workout. I really miss some of the P90X Plus exercises and this would allow me to work those back in. I have not quite determined which workouts I’ll do in the afternoon but I should know more tomorrow.

So, if you think I’m crazy please let me know. And if you have suggestions please let me know, I’d love to hear them.

Till next time… BRING IT!!!
