This week I started Jillian Michael’s Body Revolution DVD set—ish. I say “ish” because the DVD set I bought is missing a disk. I got it at the bookstore I work at, so I go a super awesome discount. The Body Revolution is a 12-week DVD set that comes with a workout schedule and meal guide. Because I’m still doing the AdvoCare One80 I’m not following the meal guide, but I am following the workout schedule. The disk I am missing is for Phase One so I’m only missing something for week one and week two but soon I’ll be whole hog. Phase One Week One is three DVDs (one of which I am missing)- two weights oriented and one cardio. The schedule gives you Sunday off and you do each of the DVD workouts twice for the week for six total workouts. I managed four workouts this week- two weight DVDs, one cardio DVD, and one walk outside instead of the cardio DVD. The first day I did Phase 1 workout 1 using 5 lb. weights. And damn did 5lbs feel like a ton after 30 minutes of working my shou...

It is finally here, well, a third of it is here. Stargate Origins has dropped on Stargate Command and so far, it’s…. meh. Granted all I’ve really seen is the first act of a movie’s worth of material. Origins is being released as 10 separate 10-minute episodes of a web series. The story is set between the prologue of the original Stargate movie and the scene when Catherine Langford recruits Daniel Jackson to Project Giza. Young adult Catherine is going on an adventure Tomb Raider style. It’s a different set up than I’m used to watching so the short bursts of the movie are taking some getting used to. Sure, I’ve watched The Guild (love it!), Dr. Horrible (brilliant!) and ConMan (hilarious!) but I didn’t watch them as webseries-es. I watched The Guild on Netflix as basically a movie per season, I watched Dr. Horrible as a movie, and ConMan I got to see now that SyFy has it and airs it as a TV series. The only web series I’ve watched as a web series was he Lizzie Bennet Diaries (so ...

I'm still going strong on my AdvoCare One80. I've entered "Phase 2" and am starting to get a little bored with it. See, phase two stops the fiber (which I loved) and moves into meal replacement shakes. It's not that the shakes taste bad, or aren't filling, or anything like that. It's just that I get bored with the same thing over and over. When I signed up for the One80 I did the pre-order option where you didn't get to pick flavors. The Spark (which I love) flavors they sent in phase one was Fruit Punch (tastes like Hawaiian Punch) and Mango Strawberry (tastes like a mild strawberry lemonade IMHO). I am cool with both of those flavors and since you only drink them once a day it's a nice break from my usual water. -Side note: with drinking one serving of Spark every morning I've let go of coffee. I didn't go into this wanting to break my coffee habit, it just sort of happened.- It's the shakes I'm bored with. With the pr...
