An Extreme Lifestyle

Now that I've started couponing (somewhat extreme?), my husband and I decided we needed to add another extreme thing to our lives: P90x.  Doesn't working out hardcore 6 days a week for an hour plus each day sound exciting?

I have heard great things about the workout program and started looking into it.  Back in the day I played sports in high school, so I'm hoping my way out-of-shape body will remember at least a little bit.  (haha, "back in the day" - I thought that would be funny bc I'm still young, but then it has been 7 years!)  We started on Saturday and did a chest and back workout, plus abs.  This is basically a million push-ups and pull-ups.  I have a weak wrist so I'm hoping by doing some modifications it will get better.  Sunday (yes after our Easter family cookout) we did plyometrics, which is basically a whole lot of jumping for an hour.  This evening we will be doing arms and shoulders, along with abs again.  We are definitely sore, but it feels good in a crazy way.  It feels a lot like sports in high school, and the workouts mimic a lot of the drills we used to do (at least yesterday's did).  We will see how gung-ho I am after the newness wears off.  Anybody out there crazy like us and doing P90x?  Only 88 days to go...
