Is it ok that on Week 3 I was still a bit out of breath an hour after we where done working out?!
Oh man... as I'm typing I can feel my calf muscles cramp a little bit... Private Pearson says if it hurts it means that we are doing a good workout... then I think I was doing Pretty Darn Excelent Today!!!
Jokes aside I can honeslty say that my improvement level has gone up reasonably. I do have to say thank you to my class mates for helping me out when I needed it, as much as I try to make de classes a little bit more fun, ie "Private: Don't give up, think of your happy place", "Carlos: McDonald's!", "Class: GIGGLE/LAUGH!"; the time just deels like it slows down while you are doing SOF. That Hour feels like 2 Hours, and when you are told you only have 30 seconds left on a single exercise, those 30 seconds are the longest 30 seconds of your life!.
Even though we had a couple of cassualties today, Zack couldn't make it because he is sick and Khazma (Promotions/Marketing Manager) had a Last Minute Management Meeting, our team was still holding strong and poshing to their limits to make sure that we all completed the drills and that no one was left behind.
The team strenght that we've develop in the last 5 clases is amazing, we hardly know each other in a personal level and yet we are still willing to go the distance for one another no matter the weather condition or if we had a crappy day at the office. You can always count that the SOF Team will be there to help you in anyway that they can.
It's hard to belive that we are almost this months workout... I just hope I look good once I get into my tux for my wedding...

Soldiers Of Fitness - WOW Week 2!
I can't believe we are already working on day 1, week 2. As I sit to enjoy a nice lunch, I think about how do I feel about today's performance.
Yeah, I'm in a little bit of pain, but its considerably less pain compared to day 1, week 1. I actually think that my body is starting to adapt to this life style again. How do I feel you still ask your self? Let's put it this way, I was pretty impressed with my overall performance during today's workout session. I manage to run non-stop 2 out of 3 warm up laps and complete 75% of the exercises successfully (the way they where meant to be done). Compared this to last week... I think the difference is overwhelming. I feel better, like I have more energy and like my efforts are actually starting to show, more on my resistance and on my state of mind and on the way I actually feel before we go to SoF, I get excited the night before just to think I have to go workout. I doubt I would've even feel anything close to that last week.
It still takes me a lot to look past the mental block that wants me to stop, that wants me to quit in the middle of, but that's where the magic of SoF comes in, we all come together as a unit to help, encourage, and push each other out. My team, its really there to push me when ever my mental block wants me to stop.
Thanks again... Talk to you guys next week...
And if you are wondering what am I having for lunch... Salad, Chicken and cottage cheese. I'm ready for the SoF Blitz Hour Challenge.
Are you ready for the SoF challenge?

Soldiers Of Fitness - Blitz Hour - Day One
Oh, my!
I would've never guessed that after not doing SOF for 6 months I was going to be soooo out of shape. Going in on Day 1, Today, I was excited but nevious at the same time. I really wanted to get it going, but 15 minutes in to the workout I just wanted it to end, I don't know why. I've done it before and I've known since before we even started that this wasn't going to be an easy task. I do want to get fit for my wedding and I do think that Soldiers Of Fitness is the way for me to do so. I've tried working out at gym's and I never really felt the encouragement to go back and keep on working out.
I love SoF because if I'm doing something I want to make sure I do it the right way or I might as well just stay at home and watch some TV.
I think that having someone to guide you, telling you if you need to lower your back, to keep doing push-ups with your knees down if you can't do them on your toes, to never quit, helps out to get to our main goal the right way. without injuring our selfs, and it also teaches us, to never quit on selfs. We set our own limits and the only way we can get better at doing something to to raise our own bar each an every time we are trying to do anything, running, doing ranger kicks, push-ups.
Yes, today was a bit hard, but, I know that right now, I'm on the right track to feeling great and looking even better on my wedding day, and also, nobody said loosing weight and getting back into shape was going to be easy, but the guys from SoF are going to make sure we, all of our Blitz Hour Class, make the right choices, and that we help each other, to get to the same goal and that we tell our selfs all the time to never quit on our self or our Class.
I'm really proud of the guys at the Radio Station, I'm sure just two of us knew what we where getting our selfs into, the other 3?, not really sure if they knew how much effort it actually took... I'm also thank full and impressed with our listeners that decided to come and join us in this crusade, I'm sure all your efforts from today are going to pay sooner than you think. It might seem a little hard but, trust me, it gets easier... at the end of this week, you'll notice that your stamina, your endurance, and your willingness to keep on going and pushing the envelope will increase and you'll even be surprise...
Let's keep on going, let's keep on pushing and let's make sure we achieve everything that we want to out of this... HUA!

Soldiers Of Fitness - Blitz Hour!
Yesterday we made the announcement with Zack... I'm starting Soldiers Of Fitness again for one hour during the lunch hour next week... it's only going to be twice a week, but I know that I have to start doing something in order for me to get ready for my wedding... It's coming really fast and, let's be honest here, since the last time I did SoF I haven't really paid any attention to my health... I'm kinda excited again to start this life style again because I know what does it require mentally, emotionally and physically and I don't want to let people on my team down...
I decided that this time around I will take some video shots and maybe make some "short films" after every workout day... just for you guys to see and listen, rather than read, what's going on during the workouts... I think it would make it a bit more fun and you will get to see our improvement twice a week...
Excitement, and anxiety would be the better way to explain how I'm feeling right now... but the thrill of it it's what is going to get me going... and July 25th (my wedding date) is my goal to look and feel as best as possible in this Short Notice... but SoF will help out a lot...
If you decide that there is an event that you might want to loose a few pounds for and you need tat motivation, go to www.energy1015.com and click on the SoF Blitz Hour Logo
and read the information there and then just send us an email to contests@energy1015.com with your name and phone number, and you and a friend or maybe 2 or 3 want to join us to get on the right path to your goals... it's that simple...
Well soldiers... See you in a few days when we report for duty...

WARNING - Adult Content - Jamie Foxx/Miley Cyrus
This morning on the News I heard for the very first time something that made me feel sooo bad that I couldn't understand why would someone do something like this...
First of all, I just found out this Morning that Jamie Foxx had a show on Sirius radio, apparently anyone can get a show on satellite radio now on days... How could someone say that about anyone... Specially about someone under 18... She is only 16! At least he had to nerves to apologize...
Not Cool Jamie Foxx... Not cool...

Up For Rent - This Week in Movies
I rented this last weekend a bunch of Movies Doubt, Slumdog Millionarie and Yes, Man.
First in my list of movies to watch was Yes, Man. I loved the fact that Jim Carey is still making funny movies. I needed a good laugh over this long weekend. The only down part was that after watching that movie I realized how much I was missing out in live. so I decided it was a great idea to take my fiancé out that night for a Road Trip out to Banff, oh yeah, it was 11.30 pm when I decided to go out and drive One hour out to a town in the middle of the mountains. Don't get me wrong, it was Fun and I had an awesome time, but once we got there everything was already closing, and they have very little street lights available so most of our pictures turned out with a black backgroung. I blame the Movie :)
Then I watched Doubt, I've never hated someone in my life. Meryl Streep did an amazing Job. She made me Hate her character soooo much thoughout the movie, and at the very I understod her pain where she was coming from. That weekend (easter weekend) I went to mass and paid extra attention to everythign that happends while the actual mass takes place.
Last but not least... I really procrastinated a lot to watch Slumdog millionaire, I was under the impression that his was a Musical. Then after talking with a few friends and all of them telling me that it wasn't, I decided to give it a try... Oh, My God! it was 2 am on a Sunday and I didn't want to go to bed just cus I was laughing and so in to the movie, I do have to agree that it was a great choice for the Oscars, but I still wish that Mickey Rourke would've taken the Besst Actor award.. I love Mickey Rourke.
Can't wait for Friday so I can go a rent a whole bunch more of movies... 'till next week...
