Day One, April 11, 2010

I can't believe that I am actually sitting here, beginning a blog about MY workout journey! I thought it was great when my husband was doing the P90X, and really I wanted some results too. BUT, TIME???? I have a hard time balancing everything as it is. Josh told me that in the beginning he made all the same sort of excuses and then one day he just did it. It was rough starting out for him, but seeing the complete lifestyle change in him has been amazing. He has always had more self-discipline and consistency than me, so I'm glad he went first!

Josh ordered me the "POWER HALF HOUR" also by Tony Horton, like P90X. It will be a lot easier for me to squeeze in 30 minutes rather than 60 or so. I've had it for a couple weeks and honestly a lot of times just plain forgot that I needed to get started. After talking with Josh about it today, he said he would do it with me today if that would help me get started. We did it at 5pm, with all the kids around. We each had to hold Graden through some of it. Josh eventually just took him in his room to play, while I finished.

It was good. I didn't stop or pause the DVD one time, even though it's been 6 years since I worked out! I began with the thigh one. My legs were like jello when I was done and my head felt a little fuzzy. I did the cool down and the stretches and was OK.

Josh took my "before" pics tonight, and quite frankly, YUCK!!!!!!!!! I am skinny, yes, but OMG my butt is in some rough shape. That flat tummy is long gone too. It's gonna take a lot of work, my friends. I am starting out on 3 days a week. I am glad my husband can keep me accountable. I will post the before pics tomorrow. I still need to weigh in and measure.
