P90X and Landscaping

Shew, y'all. For real. I'm so exhausted and it's only Tuesday! Spring Break went too quickly and I got really stressed out today looking at my to-do list. There are 26 school days left until summer. Can I get a hallelujah?! It will be a long (and possibly emotional 26 days-more on that later).

So P90X. The only update I'll give to you is that yoga with a man is hilarious. Seriously. I laughed. Hard. :)

This last Saturday and Sunday Matt & I landscaped. When we bought this home, the realtor who owned it had made a lot of improvements inside, like new flooring and appliances and painting. The landscaping was horrible, though! We got a big part of it finished and have a wish list now that we have spent some time out there. I'll just let the pictures do the talking. :)















I hope that you all have had a great week so far!! About halfway there!! I'll be having my very first bridal shower on Saturday thanks to Candice and Nikki. I'm pretty excited to see everyone that is coming!! :)

P90X Day 2

What the heck did I get myself into?? I'd better see results. Soon.

I kid, I kid. Kinda. My chest was so sore today and trying on clothes while shopping with the girls proved to be quite difficult. But I pushed through it and actually found quite a bit of cute spring clothes. I did not, however, buy this little number.


Back to P90X, though. Today was Plyometrics, also known as jump training. There was a lot of squatting and jumping. My thighs are on fire and my legs were shaking. But...it does feel good in a strange way. Tomorrow is shoulders, arms and ab ripper. Yeesh!

This little lady made it kinda hard to find room. We had to run her off.


Fingers crossed that this little flat top feller comes on board to Kentucky. He makes his announcement soon!


Commeeee ooonnnn!!! You know you wanna!!!

P90X Day 1

I want to have awesome arms in my wedding dress in June and I want to look good for our honeymoon. Both of my brothers had previously done P90X and talked about how much they loved it. I thought I would give it a try and was happy when Matt agreed to do it with me. So far the hardest part was deciding when we wanted our off day to be. The program works with 6 days on and 1 day off. After a lot of discussion, Matt & I decided that we wanted our off day to be Monday. It will give us the first day of the work week off. Plus, Matt plays in a dodgeball league on Mondays.

Before we started we took some "before pictures". I am embarrassingly going to share mine, but I am going to take more in a couple of weeks to share with you, to compare progress.







Once the photography session was over, we popped in the DVD and got started. We did a warm-up, then got started with push-ups and pull-ups galore! My word. I thought, "I can't do anymore!!" and then he would make us do MORE push-ups. I can honestly say that I didn't really enjoy yesterday. Today is Plyometrics. We had to google it to see what it is all about. It sounds kinda fun, actually. A lot of squats and jumping...from what Wikipedia says.

After we finished yesterday, I was already sore. I was really dreading today and what I would feel like, but it's not all that bad. I can hardly lift my arms above my head...no biggie. Who needs to do that, anyway??

More progress to follow. Happy Wednesday!!

Wedding Planning Update and MORE

So far you know about the location and the maid of honor...I think that's about it. Whoops. Guess I really dropped the ball on that whole "Wedding Wednesday" idea...


Since I last wrote, we have sent out invitations, I've bought my dress! EEEEEE Wish I could show you a picture, but SORRY! We bought our wedding bands last week and I am in love with mine. Again, no spoilers. ;) I have started on my bouquet, also. Here is some of the inspiration for my bouquet...courtesy of pinterest, duh.

In the pictures on my bouquet, I will have a picture of Rhonda, Matt's Mom and both sets of my grandparents. I sure wish they could all be there with us.


So, have you guys heard of or read the book 50 Shades of Grey?? Oh my. Seriously. Oh. My. I can't wait to read the next two and I'm not quite sure what that says about me...

On Tuesday I am starting P90X. Girl's gotta look gooood for da honeymoon and beach wedding!! Both of my brothers, Matt and I are doing it together...a support group of some kind, I guess you could say. I have heard that I need to drink some protein drinks and shakes. I guess I could consult my dear friend, Bre to give me some advice...We need to Skype soon, anyway!!

Some Lifetime movie with Jennifer Love Hewitt just came on...there goes any chance of me going to bed any time soon!

Hope y'all enjoyed your Easter! (AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SARAH!!!)
