So I was practically forced into doing the P90X program to "support" Kyle - reluctant as I was I cannot believe the results after just 3 full weeks of eating according to the program and the daily workouts! I've lost about 5 pounds - which honestly is alot for my body- but pretty much I feel like I've just lost 5 pounds of pure fat! We all probably know what our operating body weight is- I've been at mine for years, the weight in which I can eat/drink whatever I want (within limits) and moderately work out and still maintain. My body looks different and feels different. I've complained about the eating but really you get used to it. This is our recovery week - alot of yoga and core exercises - and the following week the diet plan changes up a bit. A little less protein for me and one extra carb (yay) a day. Once the 90 days are over, I do think that I will keep some of the diet changes for the long term. I did really eat more carbs than I needed to and could use more protein in my daily diet.
On another note, Jackson and I just returned from a sunny week on Cumberland Island with the McArthur clan. We got to spend quality time with my Dad's side of the family - but most importantly with my nephew Daniel (it was his first beach trip). Summer is in full swing here with pool visits, keeping cool and keeping busy. Jackson had his first private swim lesson today and it was a HUGE success! Amazing what one on one attention can do for some kids. Caroline just spent our Cumberland week with Mimi where she slept every night in a big girl bed. So now, of course, she wants her big girl bed. I'm meeting with Bobbi and Dana at precious cargo tomorrow to start working on the transformation. She is inheriting my old bed that I got when I was 2 years old. It's in need of some sprucing up so that's on the to-do list as well. Who said summer was a time to slow down? We are busier than ever it seems!
