Another week down!

Completion of week 2 is complete!!

We just finished our last workout of week 2 together. It was KenpoX! It is an hour of crazy boxing, tae-bo, kickboxing moves and such. It is my favorite, and chris hates it. (go figure right?) It takes a little getting used to and practice because the moves can be confusing.

I think we each have lost about another pound this week. We are happy with that, especially since our goal is to tone and we are definitely starting to see those results!

To all of you doing the program with us, KEEP IT UP! Its tough really counting calories and not eating before bed, but it is SO worth it. Creating good habits now will get our bodies used to it for the future.

For now, we are excited to have the rest of the weekend off, and go to our friends Jonathan and Sarah's wedding tonight! (buffet style reception = limiting our trips and portions!) I have a feeling we wont be much fun out on the dance floor after our hardcore leg workout yesterday :/
haha

Yall have a great weekend and we will keep you updated!

1 week down, 3 pounds lighter

Chris and I finished our first week today! The workout yesterday, legs and back, has left us very sore. Today we had KenpoX which is like kickboxing/karate. I thought it was fun, but its hard to learn the moves at first, so I dont know if Chris is a big fan yet. We both thought it would be nice to get on the scales today and see what the scales said. Each of us shed about 3 pounds! That said, we arent really in this thing for "weight loss," although I'm sure it's inevitable with all the toning and training! Tomorrow is our day off and we are going out to eat Mexican. We will still watch our calories, but a little more loosely for the day ;)

Please keep us in your prayers and continue to encourage us! This will be a long journey, but one we really want to finish as strong as we started! Love you all!

Just finished day 4! Today was YOGA X for 1.5 hours! the first part was hard, all the poses...my body just DOESNT move that way! But the stretching aspects were really nice. Chris and I have been following our calorie max every day, and actually not even meeting the maximum, which is good right now, as we can drop some fat while we build muscle. I think the hardest part for both of us is definitely not eating the last 3 hours before bed. Its weird to go to sleep on an empty stomach, but I know its a good thing...and what better time to be hungry besides when you are asleep right?? I have been drinking at least 2L of water a day...which is 68 ounces...so I have become "that girl" that always has to pee! The good thing is, it keeps me feeling full and makes my skin look great! Hopefully Chris will have something to post later after his experience with Yoga tonight! Keep looking for an update :)

Day 1. Success!

I am typing again tonight since Chris' first day was an all arms workout! He can barely move his fingers :) He is keeping track of all the repetitions he does of the push-ups and pull-ups, and looks forward to improving each week! I did well today, it was a a core work-out called "core synergistics". I have done it before, so I am not too sore yet, but lets just wait until the next fews days are piled on!!

Our calorie counting plan is going well too. I think the hardest thing will be to QUIT eating 3 hours before bedtime! That is really challenging even the first day, but I think after a few days, it will become a new habit! :)

Keep you all updated!

Embarking on a new adventure!

Chris and I are starting the 90 workout program "P90X" tomorrow, March 1st. We have done these workouts before, but never to the 6-day-a week, calorie counting extent we will be starting. We know first hand how hard the workouts will be, but are excited to see the results! We are starting a blog to keep everyone updated on the process, and to hold ourselves accountable to finish what we begin! We will try to update the blog a few times weekly to fill you in on our progress. At some point, we will be posting pictures of our progress along the way! We hope this blog inspires you!! :)

We love you all!
