WE DID IT!!
Saturday May 29th, we completed the 90th day of P90x, finishing with my favorite workout KenpoX. Chris had come into town (in High Point, NC) late the night before, so we didnt get started until around 2pm (a late workout on Sat. for us!). My mother and brother Henderson decided to join us, so the four of us squished in the master bedroom of my parent's house for the last hoorah! We were all pretty tired and sweaty afterwards, but hugged and high-fived, then celebrated with a cookout that night at a friend's house! We are proud of ourselves and so thankful for the support and encouragement of those around us.
We dont know our next endeavor yet. Right now I want to take the extra time that P90x did to work on studying for my board exam and applying for jobs, but will be maintaining a 3-4 day workout regimen as outlined for P90x grads!
Im thinking about taking an endeavor and doing INSANITY next, but more on this at a later time :)
Please dont hesitate to ask questions about the workout or food guide we followed! We would love to encourage you all now too. We hope to have our pics up soon!

P90X in NC
So, if you havent heard, Im in NC for 5 weeks on a rotation in general surgery while Chris had to stay behind for work! This is the LAST week of the 90 day program and Ive been doing well since being away from Chris. Its not easy to stay accountable away from each other though!
My mom did yoga with me last week and was SO sore afterwards. My sister did Cardio with me and was like "this is HARD!" Haha I guess that feels good to know Im not crazy when I feel its kicking my butt! It also reinforces how far I have come since I complete them now!
I will write when we are finished on Saturday! Please pray for us as we are apart :(

Vacation and Detour (of sorts)!
On Sat. May 9th we packed up and headed south early in the am. We arrived in Destin beach by mid afternoon and first thing did our P90X kenpo workout! Yes, we packed up our mats and bands for our 4 workouts that would be required during our va-cay!
We had a WONDERFUL vacation: getting tans, reading, swimming, sleeping, people watching, and EATING. Ah, theres the rub. Although we did complete all our workouts while there, we ate lots more than what our usual calorie intake is on P90x. (including continental breakfasts, a night at an all you can eat sushi/hibachi restaurant, and Shakes frozen custard [which should be a sin its so good haha]), but all in all we are proud of ourselves. We started this program knowing that we wanted to do the full 90 days and commit our best to it. We felt that for the money we were paying to go to the beach and how little vacations we get, it was a good compromise to our commitment to take a little "diet detour". (especially since food is what I tend to enjoy most in new places)
We came back to Nashville yesterday and now are at HOME SWEET HOME. We are getting back on track today with the diet plan, and although we are doing yoga tonight as our workout. I completed 45 minutes of plyometrics (the most intense cardio) workout this morning since I am still on break and felt like my body needed that kick start after all that food :)
Hope this post finds all the readers well. I felt that to share with you life's detours and realities is a good part of coming to terms with listening to your own body's health as well as its desire for a little "R&R" :) during the P90x process.
If you have and questions or comments, or are wondering about doing the program yourself, please feel free to reply!
Love you all, God bless,

Week 10 and almost BEACH BODY ready!
Today we just started our 1oth week! I have taken pictures at the 0,30, and 60 day mark. Let me tell you...results are REAL, and I know that neither Chris nor I was so big to begin with but there is definitely a difference! We have been slack on our diet more lately in the sense that we have had more events and dinners where we have eaten out without knowing the exact caloric content. On the otherhand, I think we are both much more conscious of our choices (I think Chris especially feels this way!). Thanks to all those that have been encouraging. It really does help!!
We will be going to Destin this weekend for my spring break and get to show off the bods! (so maybe you will see a glimpse on facebook pictures later on... :)
I am already thinking about my next endeavor. Maybe Insanity??? Its a 60 day program even CRAZIER than P90x...sounds ridiculous I know but its great to see what the body is capable of and Im actually enjoying it!!
On a more somber note, please keep Nashvillians and Middle Tennesseans in your prayers! There is a lot of devastated families from lost history, homes, pets, friends, and jobs. I myself will not have a job for a little bit which puts a little more strain on the hubby, so be thinking of us, although this is minor compared to the tragedy of many!
