Our New Challenge...

Spring is in the air! Pretty soon it's going to be summer, and we all know what that means.....time to put on those bathing suits!! Last summer I had just barely given birth to Kohen, so I had a pretty good excuse....but not this year! It's definately time to get back in shape and HOPEFULLY look good enough to dare wear a swim suit out in public! I always whine and complain about how I don't look good anymore, and how I need to get back into shape...so Dustin and I have decided that it was time to get off our butts and actually do something about it! We ordered "P90X" from the internet and got to work! It's suppossed to get you ripped and in excellent shape in 90 days. It uses a technique called "Muscle Confusion" so that your body will never plateau, meaning your body will never get used to the workouts. The hardest part for me is the food...you can only have certain things to eat every day. I only get to eat one serving of carbs!! It's so hard because I LOVE bread and pasta! But I am trying to find ways to make it work. I can't say that I haven't slipped up at all, but my philosophy is that if you don't allow yourself anything, one day you are just going to freak out and eat everything in sight :)!!

I am now 18 days into it....72 more days to go!!! The workouts are hard, and sometimes I feel like it's impossible to find time in my day to do them, but so far I have done pretty well! Dustin on the other only lasted about a week or so....what a wuss! Hopefully he will start back up again at the beginning of next week! I will be keeping a journal entry on the sidebar of our blog...hopefully I can last 90 days! And if it actually works, I might even put a "Before & After" picture (I say "might" because no one really wants to look at a picture of the chubby girl in her bikini :)!!

Blast From the Past Tag

I know I've been tagged quite a bit lately, so sorry to all of those tags that I never did....This one looks like a lot of fun!!

Most embarrassing moment your friends will never let die? Probably when Holly Scott kicked me in the head when we were both doing a tumbling pass at our "Hello" assembly our Sophomore year.....I was mortified!!

What adult did you have a crush on when you were little? Once again, it was Jesse from "Full House".
What habit or personality trait do you have of your mother or father? I used to make fun of the words my parents used to come up with instead of swearing....well I have noticed that especially after having Ko, I do the same thing! I guess it's better than swearing, right?!

And what did you try and make the test result outcome be? A nurse I think.
What made you laugh harder than you have ever laughed before? Something that really sticks out in my mind was when Tam & Laura made up thier own moves to "Let the Beat Control Your Body" in cheer our Sophomore year....I'm pretty sure I just about peed my pants when they showed it to us!!
Favorite memories of hanging out with your best friends? Trying to kiss as many boys as possible our senior year, getting together to watch FRIENDS, breaking into certain people's houses ( Angi, you know what I'm talking about), sharing the # 2 meal at McDonalds with an EXTRA LARGE Root Beer, and also all those wonderful times we had in cheer!
What's the most trouble you have ever got in with your parents? Probably when they found out that I was dating my future husband :) ....we weren't suppossed to have any serious relationships in high school. Oops!
What was your 5 year plan when you had to write it out in high school? Graduate from nursing school, not get married until I was at least 21 ( I don't remember my reasoning for that one), and have 2 or 3 kids.
