30 by 30: 2 down, 4 to go

I was supposed to do this update on Saturday but I forgot, started this post on Sunday but didn't get finished and then went out of town early Monday morning...ooops!  I got so excited about the holidays and starting things out, that I completely forgot.  By the way, Saturday night went really well.  We made cookies and Stan read the Christmas story.  Afterward Stan asked the boys questions and Kirby was telling it right back to him!  That was really exciting.  I can't wait to see how he learns from the Jesse Tree.

So now that I am two months into this 30 by 30 goal and the holidays are here I'm trying to get more and more focused.  A few days before Thanksgiving I hit my pre-Judah weight, which puts me 15 lbs (and HALF WAY!) to my goal.  I was so encouraged.  Of course after the eat fest of Thanksgiving and the way I fluctuate weight each day anyway I haven't hit that low again but I didn't go crazy--seriously I only ate one plate of food at lunch on Thursday, don't know how I did it--so I think once I get right back into my routine of working out and such I will be back down.

This also marks one month until I will start the P90X challenge.  I've checked the calendar and if I start on December 28th it will take me right up until my birthday.  I have to tell you, I've watched a few of the videos and it looks painful.  I'm scared.  I mean maybe it will be a good thing to start out each day with a good cry, who knows.  I need some words of advice from those who have done it.  Please leave a comment.  I am determined to do it, I just need to know I will survive.  I'm trying to convince Stan to do it the days he's here too.  He doesn't seem to excited about it though.

I'm excited about my progress and hope that healthy eating and exercising will not end after this 6 months.  Really 30 lbs isn't the end of what I want to lose but it will be a beginning!
