If you have read my previous posts then you already know I have been struggling to lose weight and now I have taken on P90X. Today is my Day 4 and it was the Yoga X day. Wow! That was a workout! I have totally underestimated the power of Yoga. I pretty just thought it was a bit weird with all the funky poses and weird meditation exercises but I actually think it is going to be a great weekly workout for me to help relieve some of the stress I am feeling and the stress is still burning as more fuel gets tossed to the flame with each week.
I feel really good though. My body feels good, my head feels clean and clear and even my own bedroom (where I work at my desk) feels bright and positive! I would encourage anyone that does internet marketing to get some sort of daily exercise. If not something intense like P90X, I would recommend at least 1 day of yoga. It doesn’t have to be a class, you could pick up inexpensive yoga workout dvds at Target. Trust me, it will renew your mind, spirit and help with your business performance.
Yesterday was a great adsense day. It hit $29.16. Almost at the $30 mark.
So I feel I have not been all that productive this week because the first few days have just been filled with errands and I had a friend come over and assemble and install my pull up bar one day as well. On Tuesday I wrote some articles to back link and also pinged articles that got approved over the weekend and then yesterday I worked on some forum profile work. But I am still working on just a few sites at a time. I am working on back linking 7 sites with the articles and now I will do forum profiles on them as well.

Glad to see you pushing through! Missed seeing your blog posts this past week but very excited to hear that your adsense is on the rise. Good luck with P90X – I have some Wii excercise games that I need to dust off – heck I actually need to open the package!

My adsense does have days of improvement but it is not stable. One day it will be around $17 and the next a $20+ day. Today is looking pretty low so I am not getting my hopes up that I will even surpass $15 for the day. But I am not letting it discourage me. Just truckin’ along back linking and writing articles.
Ah – nice AdSense, Sara. Glad it’s turned around! I’m personally needing the P90X or something like it. Sitting down isn’t burning a ton of calories – I know a quad friend of mine who gets more exercise.
Seriously.

Yea, I definitely noticed a difference when I was getting some sort of daily exercise everyday and when I did not. The days I did not made my spine feel like mush and I would end the day with an aching back. The days I worked out, I have a lot more energy and didn’t notice any discomfort.
Oh that’s great Sara! I think I needed you to tell me that it’d be great to get some exercise. I’m ashamed to say I got this new Wii Pilates and Yoga game for my birthday (a present which I asked for!) and haven’t even opened the box yet! I love doing yoga, I just seem to get lazy and stop doing it. Plus my yoga DVD I was using wasn’t very active but I heard this DVD gives a good workout. Hmmm, maybe time to get it out! I don’t know about you, but when I do yoga for an hour in the morning I find my posture is so much better when sat at the computer all say.

Ooo pilates and yoga for the wii sounds like fun. My sister has a wii fit board and the last time I got on it, it said I had dropped a few pounds but I hate that my mii looks so fat. lol
P90X’s Yoda, aka my personal hell, is perhaps the hardest workout in that whole series. I definitely need to strengthen my core. The first couple of times I did it my spine was actually sore the next day
I have a close friend who lost 50 pounds with it and she looks great. I have lost 10 pounds and I only do the workouts every other day. Keep pushing play and you will do fine!

Dusty do you use a recovery drink? I’ve been using one since my Day one of P90x and honestly I would say that on a scale of 1-10 for soreness each day, I am only at a 2. I feel great and I only bought the particular product that I am using because I read several reviews on the bodybuilding.com forum and it was unanimous that every person that did a review for it said they do not even notice any soreness. It also tastes amazing! The one I use is Optimum Nutrition 2-1-1 Recovery in Colossal Chocolate.
That’s great your friend dropped 50lbs with it. I am hoping to drop 30-40 with it. So far I find the workouts to be intense but I feel so accomplished and proud of myself after I finish them.
Remind me what you mean by pinging articles. I know what it means but how do you do this, with a program?
Hi Fabian,
I ping my articles using BMD. I open up BMD and go to the tab that says “Ping Servers” you will see a button that says “Add Ping Servers” and there you will need to create a list of pinging sites like:
http://www.blogoole.com/ping/
http://www.blogoon.net/ping/
http://www.blogshares.com/rpc.php
http://www.blogsnow.com/ping
http://xping.pubsub.com/ping/
http://coreblog.org/ping/
http://rpc.newsgator.com/
http://rpc.pingomatic.com
and then while still under the “Ping Servers” you will click on the button that says “Add URLs to Queue” and this is when you copy and paste the URLs for your articles or any webpage you wish to ping. Next, click on the “Ping” tab and then click the start button and your webpages will get pinged to by those pingsites you already listed previously.
Sara, while we’re on the topic of BMD, do you know how to bulk edit site entries to add categories, or even specify categories for sites when you add them so that they can be submitted to pligg sites?
Been reading your blog, looks like we’re quite close, I’m over in Alameda.
I am far too lazy to actually go in and change the categories etc but you can do this by two different ways.
1.) Create a new project which you then would edit which bookmarking sites you only want to submit to and at this point select/add only pligg sites then go to the “My Webpages” tab and enter the URL to crawl. Next go to the ” bookmarking” tab and click the “add my webpages to queue” and after it has added the webpages you can then scroll down the list in the window and highlight the webpage you wish to edit the category for. Now on the right hand side you will see the current category (if any) that your webpage will be posted to and form there you can then change the category to which ever one you prefer.
2.) Skip the part about making a new project and selecting only certain pligg sites and just follow the same steps for adding pages to the queue and change the category. This just becomes a longer process because you will have to sift through the entire list to locate the pligg submissions.
But is there a way to change the category on multiple sites at once?
I don’t get all these workout programs, Go out and prepare for a 5k 10k race. You will have something to strive for and you will get a great buzz at the end of it. I just finished my 3rd triathlon today and damn it felt good, people cheering me all the way and patting me on the back at the end. half ironman next year and maybe the big one after that!!
I do agree running is great for some but its not my thing. I already have trouble with 1 knee so usually the longest I can run is for 20 minutes. I used to love doing HIIT training by running but now I would much rather workout on the spinning bike or elliptical. The elliptical is easier on the knees.
I can no longer read your blog.
I’m feeling like Jabba the Butt’s older, fatter brother. I need some chocolate…

*waves her hand like a Jedi* You do not need chocolate. You want some mango instead.
OMG please keep us updated on your progress with p90x! Ive been wanting to try that for a while but no time. Hope it goes well for you! Seems like a great program
@Ross – I do not think there is a way to change the category on multiple sites but honestly I haven’t looked into it that hard to find out.
