Well, it’s official. I am now going to fully stop posting here and will solely update the new site. Visit me at www.distincthealth.com! I am still finalizing everything, but the site itself works, looks good and has all of the functionality as this one. More to come!

Soon, we will be moving Distinct’s Ultimate Health & Conditioning to it’s own server, obviously with it’s own domain. The new site is still in development and can be seen here! If you want to be ahead of the game, you can update all of your links, trackbacks, etc. as all of the posts from this blog have been imported into the new one (the permalink structure on the new blog is set as well, so it’s unlikely to change again)… I will notify everyone by posting a static page here when the transfer has fully occured and the site will no longer be updated.
A few updates:
First of all, everything’s going great and I’m adapting really well. I feel more alive and alert all day, and am getting more stuff done than usual and it’s not just because of the extra waking time. I’m going to begin phasing out the alarm clock permanently soon, and will do a ‘test run’ during tonight’s 4.5 hour sleep block to see how that works out.
Also, I found another interesting article on sleep which might interest some of you.
Well, I am surely pleased with my current diet and especially with my exercise. The pic below is a progress pic from September 9th to November 9th. I started doing my current exercise routine in late August, so it’s a pretty good ‘before/after’ comparison. I may still be ’skinny lookin’ to some of you, but I am very impressed with my progress and especially my strength (although not with my crappy posing)… I’ve never before in my life been able to do more than 1 or 2 chin-ups with my palms facing away from me, and now I can do over 20. Shit, soon I’ll be doing muscle-ups as easily as a Marine does pushups!!
Today’s workout was:
21-15-9 reps of:
handstand push-ups
dips
elevated push-ups
Then to finish it all off (almost finished me off!) I added five 400m sprints on the trainer.
I feel awesome, full of energy, and I’m not sore (though I will be tomorrow, most definately). That’s good for today, because I have a lot of outdoor stuff to do such as stacking wood, painting a window on my house and enjoying a lunch of the bread I made last night with some raw vermont cheddar down by this small peaceful river which runs through our woods, something Thoreau would have definately enjoyed.
I found this great site on cheese making, and I’m going to try making yogurt and possibly cottage cheese soon. I’ll add the link to the sidebar and keep you updated on my luck with it all. In the meantime, I’m working on a few articles of various subjects.
