"Are you gonna do more exercising?"

That is something our little 3 year old son, Tommy, says as soon as he sees one of us change into our workout clothes or if he sees us rolling out the dumbellls and put in a DVD. I thought it was cute and I couldn't think of a title for this post so there ya go!

So things were a little bit crazy for me this week and a little bit slow. I had a tiny little medical issue that caused me to miss a couple of workouts but I will be back full swing starting tomorrow!! I think my body was actually grateful for the rest and I need to remember that rest is OK. Jeremy was in the same boat actually. Back issues has caused him to take a break but it's funny, he's had some good muscle growth during his time off I think! Crazy!


It's so funny, we were talking to another fellow P90Xer last night and he and a few other guys do the P90X workouts together at a gym. Well, some tough high school guys decided they were gonna join them and see what this P90X was all about. They came in the first time for Legs & Back and one of them puked right afterward. They came in again the next day for Plyo and yep, you guessed it... puked again. Of course, he said he had eaten like 30 minutes before and we all know that Plyo and too much food on the stomach do not do well together! If you wanna blow chunks, then give it a try. LOL!

It's amazing how on fire P90X and Beachbody programs are right now. Jeremy and I counted like 40 people we personally know who are pushing play with P90X. Just this morning at church we heard of another group doing it together. We also have friends doing 10 minute trainer and Slim in 6. Both excellent programs that are working for them. The main thing though is that so many people are wanting to get healthy and change their lives. Jeremy and I are honored to have been a small part of so many people's transformations. We are humbled when someone approaches us to tell us how we inspired them to get healthy or just made them start exercising again because if those Branson's could do it... so can we!! That is so AWESOME!! I can't imagine what it must feel like to be Tony Horton, Mark Briggs, Chalean Johnson, Shaun T, Debbie Seibers, and all of them... I love being able to represent them all so to speak being a BB coach. What an opportunity!!

Ya'll have a very blessed week and remember your mental attitude is everything so stay focused!

HERE WE GO AGAIN

Ok everyone... I'm baaaack! I finally finished up some things that were top priority for me so now I can start my blog again and not rely solely on Jeremy to keep ya'll informed how P90X is going. We have had an amazing time these past 83 days working hard and getting healthy. I remember starting day one full of excitement and anticipation of what the next weeks would bring. Each milestone we hit made us hungry for more because the results we were getting were so worth the effort. There has hardly been a time we've gone out that someone wasn't asking what we had been doing because the way we looked had drastically changed. We talk about P90X like 90% of the time when we're out... no matter where we go. And it's not even us bringing it up!! This program has been life changing and we are going to continue on after these 90 days and keep making improvements. We're sooooo pumped!

As most of you have seen on Jeremy's blog, we decided to become Beachbody coaches (thanks Demi!) because, like I said earlier, we are talking about it ALL the time. Why not try to capitalize on our time? We'll give it a shot and hopefully make something of it and if the Lord leads us in another direction, then by all means we'll follow that path.

Ok so the end of this round is in sight and I just can't believe it. We are actually gonna see this thing through and the amazing part to me is that we've done it together. I think we only missed doing a couple of workouts together when Jeremy had to go out of town on business and that was it. We didn't skip the workouts mind you. Jeremy was a trooper and did them in his dinky hotel room and I did them at home begrudgingly without him. I started this thing not really know what to expect with him as my workout buddy but I am soooooo glad his is!! He is an awesome husband, father, and friend to me... not just a good friend to others but to me and that is something that was strengthened in our marriage during all of this. We have done so many things together and for each other... laughed, sweat, grunted, complained about soreness, encouraged, bragged (on each other), and so on and so on. It's been amazing and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world and now we get to continue on... fantastic.

I was talking to a friend of mine (she's on day 5) the other night at church, and she was so optimistic about it just because she saw the results I had gotten and also the results of my dear friend Amber who is just a couple weeks behind me. I got to give her advice and she was soaking it in. She's so excited to change her life and I remember feeling that same way. But the important thing is... I STILL feel that way! I'm so excited about what the future has in store for me and Jeremy. God has done mighty things on the inside of us and I'm just doing this small thing for myself on the outside but it all goes hand in hand. This isn't something that will overtake our lives and eclipse the love we have for serving, but I think it will just add to the list of things we have to offer others and bring them closer to the Lord.

Yes, I've rambled on forever... I didn't realize how much I missed blogging! Thanks for reading if you've made it this far and I'll be updating regularly again!

Be blessed!
