One thing I am really excited about is P90X!!!
Russ and I started this program last week. Today is our 7th day. Let's just say I am FEELING the burn and I LOVE IT!
This program is a big deal for me. If you've been reading you know that in the past couple of years I started taking nutrition very seriously. My whole family went gluten free and cut out a lot of nasty things found in food like, corn syrup, food dye, antiobiotics, hormones, etc...
This changed our health in a MAJOR way. My immunity sky rocketed, my energy level went way up, my thyroid- which had been malfunctioning so badly I was on meds- corrected and went into the normal zone, and a bunch of aches and pains just vanished.
In the two years that my family has gone to "healthy eating" my kids and I have not been sick for more than 24 hours at a time. Even that is very rare. We have not made a sickness related Dr's visit since we changed our diets.
What I'm trying to tell you is that I am THRILLED with what our change of diet has done. However, I have continued to struggle with my weight despite this change. I have tried going to the gym or doing different things but being a homeschool mom of 3 keeps me really busy.
I also have very little patience with feeling like I am doing something "random." If I am going to invest in something I want to know why it makes sense and go at it full force.
Basically, I researched workout programs big time because I am desperate. I know my thyroid teeters on the edge and is only fully functional when I'm in great shape. That makes it VITAL that I NOT sit around getting fat... which is what has been happening little by little.
I want to spend my time being a dynamic wife, raising Godly and wise children, helping run RLC, traveling the world, helping the least of these... What I'm realizing is that will slip away from me if I continue to let myself get tired and old and out of shape.
I'm making a big change. I'm taking the time everyday to do this thing. I am PRAYING that this is what my body needs to get healthy and strong.
Since I am so excited about it I will share some videos below to explain what we are doing. I will keep you updated for sure. :0) Angel
