We are almost done with week two of P90X. I AM SO SORE!!! I will say that I have already lost about 7 pounds!!! Craig, of course, has lost more than that...but that's the difference between dudes and chicks. I am actually enjoying eating healthier; I can tell a difference in the way I feel. I'm not going to lie and say that I don't have fits for chocolate like a crack addict in rehab but I get through them.
One of the greatest byproducts of doing this is seeing Hailey want to get involved with our exercising. She gets out mine or Craig's mat and asks us to turn a video on. She does it for a good ten minutes and she's ready to move on. The idea of being a parent and leaving a legacy with my children has motivated me more than weight loss. I want eating right and exercise to be a normal part of daily life in our household. I want to raise healthy kids who become healthy adults. I want it to feel odd to them to be couch potatoes because that's just not how they were raised. This is all within reason, mind you...we don't want to be total health and exercise "freaks" to the point of absurdity. We just want to create a healthy lifestyle for our family.
The other awesome byproduct is my time sharing something with Craig. We make jokes during the exercises and make fun of the similarities between the instructor and someone we know. We enjoy the time spent together; working toward a goal together. It makes sharing the success that much more rewarding.
It's only week two and it feels like month two...I can't wait to see the results when we actually get to month two!!!
