P90X MAAAADDNESSSS

So, Justin and I are starting P90X...TODAY. I'm a little scared, but a lot excited! We are both so ready to get in shape! Katie, my sister's friend, has been blogging about her up's and down's of losing weight, and it has been such an inspiration to be motivated about losing weight, even when it's really hard and you think you just. can't. Check Katie's inspiring blog out here. 

I suppose this will be another aspect of our lives that I will be documenting on here! I can't wait to see what our results are after 30 days, not to mention 90! We did plyometrics today....and wow....I nearly died. Or puked. Or both. I think it was the whole eating right before I started...which Mr. Tony mentioned at the very beginning. He instructed us slaves to not eat for at least an hour before doing the work out. Oops. Wish I would have known that!

Anyways, I am hoping to post our progress each week on here! Here's to losing at least 2 lbs this week!

Impatience

Wow! It has been entirely too long since we (I) last posted!

I am still trying to get Justin to come around to the idea of really getting into this whole blog thing.

I am also still trying to get myself disciplined enough to actually do this blog thing.

I am too forgetful of a person! That is my excuse and I am sticking to it.

Justin is currently at work and won't be home until about midnight. : ( It's really a bummer how opposite our schedules are. Not necessarily right now, but when we are both in school we barely see each other throughout the week. I'm eager to see how this semester differs from last semester. My field times are in the afternoon as opposed to 9 am, so at least we will be able to sleep in a little together!

This brings me to the point behind this specific blog, so cleverly titled "Impatience". I am so beyond impatient to be finished with school! Justin and I both are. A conversation about just stopping and moving back home right now takes place probably at least a few times a week. Obviously, that isn't what we would actually do. We haven't invested tens of thousands of dollars and 5 years to not actually graduate....but, somehow, it is still tempting to just quit.

I think most of it has to do with the fact that we are both so ready to transition to the next stage in our lives. I will probably regret saying/feeling this, but we just want to have regular jobs, buy our first home, and start fixing it up!

I know that I just need to trust God and know that I chose to change my degree because it was the best decision and what I believe God has chosen for me to do. And I realize that I have been so blessed in life, so for me to really complain about being in school a while longer is pretty silly, provided things could be much, much worse.

Justin and I have been discussing joining a church and pursuing a closer relationship with God recently, and I really think this will help us feel more at peace with things. Maybe we will use this blog as an update of how we are coming along with that. Hmm....there's an idea. Now, if we (I) could just remember to get on here mroe often...

Fin.
