Equipment has been purchased

The chin-up bar, yoga mat, heart rate monitor, and body fat caliper have been ordered. It should be here within a few days and I can get rolling on the nutrition plan etc.

Why does Amazon ship an order in four boxes when you ask them to combine it into as few shipments as possible? One of life's little mysteries.

And it starts

My jiu-jitsu dojo is doing a club trip to Japan from April 29 - May 20, 2010. Ever since I was a little kid, I have wanted to spend time in Japan, and this is finally my chance. Also, for the past few years I have been telling myself that "this is the year I am going to get in shape." It's time to stop making excuses and make this the trip of a lifetime.

The decision has been made, preperations have begun. I will be buying the required equipment for the P90X over the next couple of weeks, and I will be installing the Rosetta Stone and some spreadsheets/goal tracking software on a dedicated laptop. My daily goal is to complete all of the exercise set out for me in the P90X program and one lesson of the Japanese program. I will be using this blog to track my progress and the day to day adventures of an itinerant west coast boy.
