P90X.....Are we ready for this?

One of the New Year's Resolutions that Barrett and I decided to tackle together is getting in good physical shape. We are both down to healthy weights so we decided that a little exercise cannot hurt anything only improve the quality of our lives. As some of you know, moma and daddy gave us all a cruise for Christmas. The cruise falls in April. This was just the motivation we needed to get our gears moving and set up a fitness routine. We checked around and decided that although hard (probably one of the most brutal out there right now) the P90X was the one we would try. We can't do a gym together. We have 2 kids and cannot pawn them off on someone for a couple hours each night and we wanted something we could do together to motivate each other. So our P90X came in just over a week ago. We got it in on a Friday and started it on a Friday. We were motivated and ready to do this. I'm not going to lie to anyone or sugar coat anything...this was hard. But it felt soooo good the next day. The muscles that hadn't been used in so long were finally awoken. We continued for the entire first week exercising at night after the kids went to bed. This seemed to be very time consuming. Most of the routines run between an hour to an hour and a half. This didn't give us any down time in our day. So when our week started over, we changed things up. We started yesterday morning working out in the morning. We get up between 4:30 and 5 now....do our exercise, get ready for work/school, then when we get home in the afternoon we've got down time together once the kids go to bed. It's only been 2 days like this but it seems to be working. I'm loving the extra energy throughout the day. Hopefully we can stick with this. As we progress, I will try to keep everyone posted. AND, if I get brave enough, at the end of our 90 days, I may post before and after pics. Wish us luck....we are definitely going to need it!!!
