Workout Frenzy

I’m currently downloading the P90X Cardio X video, along with the P90X Ab Ripper X that I already have. 
We bought exercise mats, some weights and two small exercise balls. 
We’ve loaded the house with healthy foods and and 80 bottles of water! 

No more soda (at least not like before. Occasional is okay). 
No more unhealthy microwave meals or things like spaghetti Os. 
We’ve stocked up with healthy crackers, healthy microwave meals, chicken and fresh vegetables and fruits. 

We don’t have an actual exercise routine quite yet, but we’re going to get into the swing of something steady. When we move at the end of July, we’re both joining the gym that is down the street from the new house, too. 

I’m actually really excited about this. Honestly, I think its because this time I actually have a set date and a goal. I wanna wear a bikini when I got on the cruise in January. I think if I stick to this, do it every day, eat right and just be more active than I could manage to drop the weight needed for that goal. I’m currently a size 16-17, I wanna get to a size 10! 
I don’t know if I’ll be able to actually drop down to a size 10 by January. I think in some aspects I have really unrealistic goals for myself but I’m going to try. I am dead set on it this time. It’s actually kind of empowering! 

Other than all the weight stuff, not much is going on. I’m working like crazy, packing stuff up at the house and cleaning. The normal stuff. 
Adam and I have 3 weddings to go to in September and October. Hopefully we can make the trips up to Michigan, but it’s expensive and getting the time off work for those separate weddings is going to be hard. 

Adam’s brother Jon is getting married. I’m happy for them but at the same time I feel really bad for his bride-to-be, Lori. Maybe Jon has shaped up since we last saw him but it’s doubtful that some of the deep rooted bullshit he seems to cling to is still there. I hope they work out, though! 
One of my best friends Cheryn is getting married. I’m not particularly fond of her fiance but if he makes her happy then I’m all for it. 
James and Sarah are also getting married and apparently are expecting a baby! I don’t know how I feel about that one either, but y’know its not really my business to have feelings about their lives so I wish them ALL the best of luck and happiness. 

I hope everyone is doing well.
Oh and P.S. I LOVE YOU TOO KATY! :] :] :]

Good luck to you! Sounds like you are on the right track. I am in the same boat, same size and need to drop some pounds too. I started riding my bike about 5 miles a day, but it’s the eating that I need to get a grip on. Me and my man are horrible at keeping each other on track. That cruise sounds fab! 🙂
