Ok, so since our wedding (almost a year ago...ahh!), Ja and I have been extremely busy and happy. Therefore, we have both gained weight. It is not an obsession for either of us and we're both happy with who we are, but we both knew we could stand to lose some pounds, mostly for health reasons. We did a great job before the wedding of really getting serious and eating well and going to the gym. We both dropped a good few pounds and felt great. Well it's time to get serious again. We owe it to ourselves to live as long and as healthy as we can.
So last Saturday, we started P90X. If you haven't heard of it, it is SERIOUS business. It is 90 days of hell. But it kicks your ass in a good way. You do a different work out every day and for the first 3 weeks you do the same weekly routine and then you have a lighter week and then you have a different 3 week routine and then on and on until you get to 13 weeks.
Today we completed day 3 and I really do feel good. I am in pain from my head to my toes, but hopefully when we keep working, all the pain will work itself out!!
In order to make this interesting, we have set ourselves up a little wager.
*If Ja is the only one to make it to 90 days, he'll get a shed he wants for the backyard and his manly yard tools.
*If I'm the only one that makes it to 90 days, I get a Visa Card of equal value to the shed that I can use for a shopping spree.
*If we both make it to 90 days, we are buying ourselves a flat screen TV or a cruise - depends on how comfortable we are with ourselves when we get to the end!
*The first one to bail has to clean up all the dog crap we have in the backyard, and folks, sadly enough, it's been a while!
So, I'll keep you posted with the progress. We have put the scale away and instead we're just using our clothes to help gauge how well we're doing. I have a pair of khakis that caused a break down and the beginning of our last weight loss adventure about a year and a half ago, so my plan is to work until I'm able to fit back into those khakis comfortably! Bring it on!
