Little Creations

I mentioned in my last post that this blog is going to mainly be about my two favorite things and today I am going to blog about my scrapbooking journey. I have really been in the mood lately to scrapbook and I think it is because of the rain. ( in fact as soon as I am done with this I am loading the kids up and taking a trip to Hobby Lobby) Anywho I have some new designs and I need some input ladies. I am new to the blogging scene and I think it will be a great place for feedback. These designs will be going onto my website next week for sale, but if you like them and let me know now I will email them to you for free. Yes I said for free!!!! One more thing, I am needing all the help I can get so if any of you more experienced bloggers could give me any advice I will be very willing to accept it. I wouldn't mention names or anything but (Sandy and Chris, and many more.) I have seen and read some great blogs.LOL!!! Ok I have to go now and go buy paper and I might try the new glimme...

Ok so I really suck at posting for P90x, Yes we are still doing it, We did have to stop for about two weeks while the family went through a terrible stomach flu. I will continue to post about P90x, but just at a monthly basis. I am now redirecting by blog to more family things and of course my favorite hobbies in the world. One of them is the Lord God almighty. This is where I will express what the Lord is speaking to me at the time and then the other is no other than scrapbooking. So please come and check back often you never know what you are going to get. Thanks

Week 2 of P90x...Legs and Back Ahh..yes the dreaded legs and back routine. This is our second time doing this and last time we could only do 30 mins of this hour long workout. This is an hour of pull-ups, squats, lunges, and anything else that will make your legs feel like they are on fire. For example we at one point have to put our backs up against the wall and have our legs at a 90 degree angle for 30 second intervals. Talk about your muscles burning!!! I will post afterwards how we did and if we were able to make it for the whole hour. I am praying so, we already feel stronger this week!!!

Getting started with P90x ( the first week) W ell, first of all let me just say that this aint no sissy girl workout, I don't even think this is the girl's that could kick everyone's butt in the eighth grade workout. Talk about being sore. Kevin and I both ached all over during this week. Who knew that I would be more sore from Yoga than from any of the other workouts. So here is our schedule for the next 3 weeks. Chest and back, plyometrics, shoulders and arms, YogaX, Legs and back, KenpoX and you have to do ab ripper x three times a week I will try to keep everyone posted on our progress and we might try to get some before pics up pretty soon. When we finish we will post our before and after measurements. Kevin and I can both say that even though it has only been a week we both feel stronger!!! 1 week down and 11 weeks to go.

Why P90x? I have been on alittle bit of a fitness kick for about a year and a half now. First let me define that for you. In January of 2008 I weighed 174 pounds. For those of you that know me you know that 174 lbs is not good for me. I should weigh around 135 or so. But as always my God came through and blessed me with a very intelligent and caring woman named Carmen Zarkowski. Carmen as I know her is a wonderful woman who homeschools her children and also ventures in the educational side of nutrition and fitness. In a nut shell she really knows what she is doing. She sat with me and showed me how to eat and how to work out. I was very disciplined for about six months and in that time I lost 24lbs. I went from a tight 14 to a snug but wearable 10. Yey Me!!! Of course the busyness of life set in and I slowly but surely walked away from my great new eating habits. Not completely but I was breaking just about every rule there was. Well now I want to lose the 15-20 lbs I have left and ...
