  • Day 1 down, 89 to go! You can do it! I can't believe it's day 27 for us already but man-o-man we've got a long way to go.

  • I have to admit, I was really laughing out loud at your post!:laugh: I know how sore I was when I started and I can't imagine having to play volleyball like that. I could barely get off the couch! Keep it up!

  • "...and I can't imagine taking a break tomorrow..." THAT IS SO AWESOME!! Doesn't it feel great? You've made a decision to get healthy & fit and you're really doing it! I'm proud of you because I know how hard it is. My husband and I do protein smoothies in the morning and they are yummy... maybe give those a try. Keep up…

  • Oh don't get him started talking about grilling. The man thinks he's Bobby Flay! He is phenomenal on the grill though I have to admit. We did Kenpo last night and we're both feeling it today. Glad to hear your wife is getting on board with you. Isn't it fun working out together?

  • That's awesome that you've decided to give P90X another go. I know this time you'll see it all the way through! I totally agree that ARX is a killer... I feel like I'm going to die every time I do it! Good luck in your journey!

  • Just checking in to see how everyone is doing. Stretch day for me... yippee! Feeling a bit sore today so the stretching will feel great. It is such a cold, snowy/icy day here. Normally on a day like this I would make a big pot of chicken and noodles, some mashed potatoes and rolls. I can almost taste it!! But no, Jeremy…

  • I miss soooo much... all the usual suspects, pizza, Mexican food, beer, wine... we've been really strict. I miss just eating out! We've only eaten out once in 24 days. But, the one thing that really killed me was when we went to the movies and I had to sit there and watch the movie without my popcorn and M&M's!!! TORTURE…
  • So glad you're enjoying the blogs... Jeremy is the computer hog at home so he always posts sooner than I do! Ha! I'll definitely give him your thanks and I'll check out your blog as soon as I can! You were cracking me up when you wrote "it's amazing what you can do when your significant other is watching!" The other day…

  • B-R-U-T-A-L. :sick: That's all I have to say about Core Synergistics. Did it for the first time today and man-o-man it was tough. We made it through but we struggled. I'm glad they didn't have that in the beginning of the classic program. There is no way I could have done it 3 weeks ago. Not looking forward to the soreness…

  • 10 minutes!!! Holy Cow!!! I remember doing them back in my 'ol HS basketball days but I don't think we ever went that long! You're a monster! :wink:

  • I haven't been on the computer all day so I just read this. I'm so happy that you were motivated to push through!!! I mean it, you absolutely made my day! I've learned while doing this that the small victories count in a big way. Now if I could just conquer some of those Yoga poses! Balancing is not my strong suit. Anyway,…

  • I know several women who had great success with Curves but that was years ago. It's worth a shot!
  • I don't know of anything but that sounds like a great idea! I just wanted to bump your post so maybe someone would see this and have a suggestion. :smile:
  • My husband are doing the program together and while it was a bit awkward at first, we love it now!!! It's funny because when our schedules are all screwed up, I'll suggest that we split up and do it on our own and he won't even hear of it! He says we're doing this together and we'll figure out a time to do it together!…

  • Man, I know how it feels to be stuck. All I can do is offer you encouragement to keep doing what you're doing and it will DEFINITELY pay off in the end. Don't give up! You're breakthrough is not far away I just know it.:flowerforyou:
  • Thanks for checking out our blogs... not many do, I don't think, but that's ok. We are just trying to keep track of our days to give us some perspective when we go back and read them. Glad you liked the scripture... we could have left all that off but that's who we are and we're not ashamed! Have a great day!

  • Happy to hear you've recovered from knee surgery and you're back on track to a healthier you! Welcome back and good luck!
  • Thanks for posting this. I've been stressed big time about not seeing my scale budge :grumble: so I think I'll get one of those skin calipers to measure my body fat. Congrats on finishing P90X! I'm on day 19 and I can't wait to say I've made it all the way through!

  • I think it depends on how bad your skin stretched and how well it bounces back even with stretch marks. There's a chance it will be completely flat or there's a chance your stomach muscles will be tone but you'll still have sagging skin. Ugh! It's a high price to pay isn't it? Well worth it though when we look at our…
  • Thank you so much for the support :smile: and I did not order a pizza for lunch! Ha! I had a nice healthy salad with my husband. I know I'm wanting results too fast but that's probably just human nature. I'm in it for the long haul and I've never been a quitter and I'm not gonna start now. Congrats on your inches lost.…

  • The first step is to take responsibility for your life and it sounds like you have. Stick with it, have faith in yourself, and reach out to others just as you've done here. Good luck to you and stay strong!
