Snap, Crackle, Pop!

Lori: That's the sounds my body was making this morning. So, I introduced P90 to my sisters earlier this year. Told them Tyler (my husband) and I were going to do it together. It lasted about six weeks before one, then both of us caught whatever virus the kids had, and quit. I started again this summer, this time it lasted only four weeks. I'm hoping the accountability my sisters will provide is the motivation I need to stick with it this time! Nothing like good ol' sibling rivalry! So far, I feel really good. As much as I hate to admit it, eating healthy feels really good. It's killing me, because I really would rather run out and grab Taco Bell--any time, breakfast, lunch or dinner...fourth meal anyone? I am a junk food addict, and I think the eating part of this transformation will be the hardest for me. I am incredibly lucky--and grateful, that I am not as big as a house, with the food I have chosen to eat since I was 18, but I have noticed not so subtle changes in my body over the last few years, and I don't like it. I am also concerned for my kids. Even though I don't allow them to eat whatever they want, whenever they want, I am constantly getting requests for candy, soda, chips, etc. I have to model healthy eating, and an active lifestyle for them, and teach them that it is a choice, and why that choice is so important. In addition to all that, I really want to look good in a bikini again. That's it! :)
