p90x

John and I finally started it! We are now committed to 90 days of grueling hard work outs! We finished day 3 yesterday (we have been doing it after I get home from work). MY BODY HURTS ALL OVER! Muscles that I didnt know could hurt- hurt. I have tried many different workouts over the years and so far this tops them all. It's extremely intense.

Doing those kind of work out videos at home always seems silly to me and I feel silly doing them. So I wasnt thrilled that John was going to watch me and I know he felt the same way, but I told him I had to have a work out partner for accountability, so he agreed. After day 1 neither of us cared what we looked like because we were so sore! haha. I am SO glad that he is doing it with me because there are some days that I know I will just want to skip it. So thanks babe!

I have been on and off diets for as long as I can remember. If I just stuck to one for a while I would go ahead and lose the weight I want in a few months and then not have to worry about the weight loss, but just maintaining. So, I feel like now that I have made a 90 day commitment at least, that HOPEFULLY I will actually lose the weight I want in a few months finally! We shall see. John and I weighed ourselves before we started p90x to see how much we lose over the 90 days. My ultimate goal is to lose 45lbs (not in the 90 days! that wouldnt be healthy!) but overall. So I will keep you posted on that progress :D

Here's to day 4 and hoping my body stops hurting or I come across some pain killers ;D

PS. I have to share a cute story about Carter. We have two doors in our apartment- one to the living room (regular door) and one to the kitchen (swinging door) that we can shut to close off the back of our apartment from the front. Well if we shut all the doors in the back of the apartment, Carter has the hall and kitchen he can roam in and none of it has carpet. Well we started to put him there and close him in that space when we were only going to be gone for a little bit. For example- when we go and eat in the dining hall or go and grab food somewhere else that wont take too long. Well, John and I went to lunch with some of our friends and were gone for about an hour. We decided we would put him in that space because it was too hot on the patio and we didnt want to put him in his crate. We gave him a few toys and left. When we got back, we walked in through the patio and there sat Carter on our couch, in one of his favorite spots!!! LOL. John and I just looked at each other like "what in the world"! Carter just looked at us like ha ha, I figured out the swinging door AND figured out how to jump up on the couch. We couldnt help but laugh. We have never seen him try to push the swinging door or even seen him attempt to jump up on the couch (he will put his paws up, but has never jumped). Anyway, we freaked out a little and searched for what he ruined. We looked around and besides a nice surprise of dog poop, he didnt chew on anything or ruin anything! We did find that he put his mouth on John's controller, but he didnt chew it! I'm guessing we were not gone long enough for him to get bored, but I am still super proud that he didnt chew anything up! There goes our little place in the back for him to hang out though! Darn smart dog! haha.
