P90X Update

We are on day 55...Almost 2 months into this workout.

Only 35 days left!

We HATE it...but we LOVE it...really and truly.


I have yet to do a pull-up...just ONE lousy pull-up...that's all I want...But, I haven't thrown in the towel...yet. As I stare at that bar in my doorway day after day after day, I know ONE OF THESE DAYS (hopefully in the very near future) I will get up there! Don't worry - ALL OF YOU will know when I get my chin above that so-very-far-off-the-ground bar! I can't wait for that day.....


We are seeing changes:

Cam looks more and more like a CHISELED ROCK every day...

Cam's pull-up/push-up range has INCREASED and continues to do so. (IMPRESSIVE - but it makes my blood BOIL...)

Cam is less tired during the day...His teachers are now seeing more of his beautiful eyeballs instead of his eyelids.



Okay, okay...I am also seeing some changes:
I can now hold myself up in those CRAZY Yoga twists and stances...well, most of them...

I look more and more like a chiseled piece of play-dough every day...

I ran two miles the other day...and it wasn't very hard...
My heart wears a BIG smile! (For those of you who run 12 to 29 miles a day...I envy you.....YES I DO!)

Really, we are benefiting from daily exercise.

And the best part, like I've said before, is doing this with my very impressive, rock-chisely, effortless push-up/pull-up doer, HOTT Man of mine...

(Look how his whole upper body takes up the entire picture....)



Brayden and Aydrie also participate...always doing their part:
Aydrie laughing as her mom hangs helplessly from the pull-up bar...


Chiseled Rock and Itty-bitty Chiseled Rock Jr.
(Brayden joins in many of our work-outs)



See that large bulge popping out of my arm? That's called a BICEP...Want one? A lot of hard work and chocolate will get you a BICEP!



Once again, these are our BICEPS that we are trying to show off....a little difficult if you can't reach them.

I've been waiting for a P90X update from you. I am very impressed by your dedication! How fun that you and Cam are able to do it together in the comforts of your own home. That makes it lots of fun! You are so cute and I hope someday to get a bicep like yours.
Cute family!

BreAnn, you are such a hilarious writer! I never knew! I love reading your posts. You've inspired me to get one of these.

Okay... I don't understand what the p90x is. You know we live in Sterling and things are really slow getting here. PLEASE come to my house...... There are many toys calling your name.

I think cam needs to take his shirt off so we can see those bulging muscles.

Ha ha! I love it! You are so funny and I miss you!!! I quit P90X once we found out we had a little one coming, but Scottie still goes at it....I will have you as a roll model once the baby comes and I can get back on the P90X horse, so keep it up so I can hang a picture of you on my fridge to inspire me :)

I know exactly how you feel with the pull up thing. It is so hard....I need to be good like you and exercise everyday.
