P90X, Week 6, Day 2

Whew! Cardio X was a beast. I put it off until pretty late, and I really didn't want to do it, but I know these workouts are a necessary part of my day. I am excited to announce that I've officially lost 25 pounds!!! I must clarify that I have only lost 8 using P90X thus far; the remaining 17 pounds were lost through diet and other forms of exercise from December until I first started P90X (mid-February). Honestly, I don't LOOK like I've lost that much weight. I can see where I've lost it in my boobs :( and in my middle, but my butt and thighs need a lot more work. Then there's this little circle of fat that surrounds my belly button that I just can't get rid of. I still have 6 weeks, however, so I hope to tone these areas in that amount of time. If not, I will continue to work out until I've reached my fitness goals. I am glad I started this fairly early, as bathing suit season is right around the corner!

Speaking of which, I booked our summer vacation (I may have mentioned that in a previous post) in Hilton Head, SC. I fell in love with Hilton Head when we went last summer.  Unfortunately, our resort is not nearly as luxurious as the previous one, but I will take what I can get. This year's will be much smaller and older, but it's right on the beach.. In case you are wondering, we rent our friend's timeshare (we've done it for the past 2 years) for our family vacations. We have had the best experiences and best vacations this way! Recently, my friend asked if we wanted to buy her timeshare. After praying about it for months, we decided to go for it. She sold it to us for $1,000 which includes the week we will be spending in Hilton Head, NC. It was an amazing deal, as my other friend who just recently purchased a timeshare paid $20,000 for hers, plus pays $1300 in maintenance fees each year. Our maintenance fees will be around $800 per year, which pays for our vacation. If we want to transfer to any other location (anywhere in the WORLD!) we just pay a minimal fee to do so. It's very exciting, and I am looking forward to all of the wonderful memories we can make as a family.

I got really off the subject there... point is, I'm getting ready for bathing suit season! The pool opens soon, we'll get a beach vacation, and then in September, I get to be a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding! Barefoot on the beach :) Super exciting.
