You'll notice I ate out today, and that's fine. Because if you know what P90x is, you know that I couldn't have eaten enough food today. 

This thing is crazy and I'm straight stupid for attempting this video, especially considering yesterday it felt like my thigh was attempting to divorce my hips. After it was over I wasn't sure what world I was in, but I knew it wasn't planet earth. I'd somehow hitchhiked to Orion Nexus 5 where waves upon waves of infectious muscle spasm monsters insisted on greeting me with hugs. 

I hate those guys. I mean they're nice guys, I just like keeping my personal space personal.  

So I hurt, and it's one of those hurts I'm sure personal trainers get all starry eyed over, but I'm in legitimate pain. Somewhere out there a person whose actually IN shape is responding to that statement in some way that makes me want to beat them to a bloody pulp with the hard plastic handles of a jump rope. Just so that person knows, I'm showing a lot of restraint, and my body wont move, so you're safe for now.  

Lets be clear, I'm not into workout videos. I prefer the natural method of working out...treadmills with the tv on. But a friend of mine happened to have it, and I've heard from multiple sources that it actually works. Of course I won't be spending 90 days straight on the program, I do plan on completing all the videos, just in between some of my other workouts. 

It's an addition to my 131 day "Hot for Con" program. If I write a book or do my own exercise video or something lame like that, I may even give P90x a nod for "inspiration". But here's something I refuse to do. DIAMOND PUSHUPS. The day I can do 1 complete rep of DIAMOND PUSHUPS without feeling like my brain is evacuating through my elbows, is the day I turn off the TV and park my fine ass in a couch and say "i'm ready for con."

One more item of note. I'm putting together some videos for Episode 2 of Hot for Con, and I need your help. I need a video of you (can be webcam'd) and I need you defining Mojo, and how one goes about obtaining it. Mojo is the subject of Episode 2, and I'd like a variety of opinions on it. Have fun, be truthful, or completely dick around with it...I don't care. Just submit the damn thing to iamstiver@gmail.com , length can be whatever, as I'll be editing it to go along with everyone else's 

Remember, Stiver loves you. Like platonically, so don't get all weird about it.
