WE ARE FED UP!!!

It's official...WE ARE FAT!! I guess it's been happening for quite a while, but we just didn't want to pay any attention or really believe it was true. With school, childbirth, bumps along the road and a whole list of excuses, we have allowed ourselves to become obese people.
We are unhappy, unfit, and fed up with what we have done to our bodies. We have decided NO MORE! It is time to change something and drastically. Esther and I have decided to do a 90 day extreme fitness program called P90X. To those of you who do not know what this is, it is an extreme advanced system that is focused on keeping your body guessing while hitting you from all angle with more pain and exercises. We are scared but ready.
All we ask of each of you is support, encouragement and frequent posts to keep us accountable. We know we can do this and we know we can do it with your help.
We will begin by posting our beginning pictures and weights. Each month we will post another set of pictures as follow up to our progress and after each workout we will post how it went and keep track of our progress.
Thank you for your love and support and we hope to get more things like a nutrition plan as well as fun stuff in the future!

LETS GET IT ON!!

Love Jon and Ess

Day 3!!

Well Day 3!!! After waking up this morning and being unable to move...AT ALL...we almost threw in the towel...NOT! It was definitely a challenge to try and move our arms still from Day 1, let alone prepare ourselves for tonight!
We did Shoulders and Arms tonight. This consisted of about 5 different types of workouts for biceps, shoulders and triceps each! It was definitely the burn out workout. The thing about P90X that is awesome is that it is 1 hr of relentless exercise. Esther was an absolute champ and really did well, I am strongest in my upper body so for me this was a nice rest from Kangaroo training of last night. I did work hard and felt the burn along with a ton of sweat.
We were using resistance bands and though they definitely worked well and gave us a workout, the way they roll up the arm as you move is very annoying and can rip the hair out of your head and arm. We are going to work on funding some free weight dumb bells to give us that edge a bit more! All in all, it was an awesome 3rd day. I will take a few days off now and have Esther do some posting. We appreciate all your comment of encouragement! It is all of you that helps us push on and it is truly liberating to be accountable to everyone! Just kinda sucks showing everyone my fat pictures!
So I will sign off for a few days and turn it over to Ess. We love you all! Thanks again!

    Great job, guys! The first few days are the hardest, and I admire you both for sticking with it! Keep it up.
