Minor set back

so....

We didnt get to start the P90X this week...

Because I have caught the plague of colds going around.  I had to take yesterday off work and spend the whole day in bed downing dose after dose of Nyquil.  It was a GREAT day ( big rolling of eyes there)

but we WILL start next week!

In the mean time, We have implamented the healthy eatting diet, and I must say it feels great!
Even though I'm sick, I can feel the difference. I just feel so much better eating healthier.

And so with that, I will post my First Recipe:

This one is a fave around here. and its SO simple!
(addmision... This is a Kraft Foods Recipe)

Stepping it up

things has gotten my waist to where it is now... the Mr.'s return home, work and the close proximity of our house to McDonald... After noticing that my clothes were getting a bit tight I tried to put on my "skinny jeans". I have had these jeans since high school and they are super small and from back in the day when I weighed in at 102.  So they are my go to pants when I think my junk food additction is getting the best of me...
and well...THEY DIDN'T FIT!  I don't mean they wouldn't button or were a bit too tight... I mean they wouldn't fit over my thigh!!! omFREAKINGg!  They have gotten snug before, even hinted to the dreaded

. 
  But they have never, ever not fit.  I was, well Devastated is and understatement.

It was that same night that the Mr. mentioned that he was considering purchasing the coveted P90X system.  After many, many, MANY obsessive youtube searches I was SOLD!

I mean look at these before and after shot (I refuse to post my before right now...because its too "Fresh" but I promise to post my own before and after when I hit the 90 day mark)

$310 later, I had purchased it. (yes, the infomercial says three payments of $39.99, but they LIE, lies I tell you!) 

Both the Mr. and I have made the vow to commit to the systems plan for 90 days.  This means getting up at 5am with the Mr. to do the work out and COMPLETELY changing our diets.  I have tossed out ALL the bad "no-no" food... Poor Godiva Chocolate.  I'll also be posting my recipes as we progress through this. Currently I'm in love with the cook book "200  under 200"  *Hint- The southwest egg-rolls are to die for!

We are starting today... ( because of the Mr.'s Schedual we are actually starting the workout tonight) I will be keeping track of my progress on here. Not that I really want to share my dirty wieght laundry with the world, but lets face it, if I have to post it for all to see... it will keep me honest and on track!

SO... here goes!
I wieghed myself last night...124.6
and again this morning...121.8
Hum.. that cant be right...I might need to look in to my scales accuracy...
Tonight we break out the tape to be official and measure everything...  Im scared.

I LOVE this idea. 

Go to  Riding the Roller Coaster And check out her MilSpouse Blog Hop!. I'm number 163! that means that right now there are ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY THREE other blogs to read! I'm so excited to  check them all out!

So, now for my addition to the MilSpouse blog hop...

I'm Jen, I', 25... no 24... maybe 26? Honestly, I forget.  I have been a military spouse for 6 years now. I think I'm just starting  to figure out this crazy life style.  I have been married to my real life G.I. Joe for 6 years as well. Its been an amazing 6 years, full of travel, deployments, lessons and friendships.  All of which has left us with very little family building time... we hope to get to that next year..

We are stuck on the bayous, where the Army has left us for 5 years... We hope to be leaving early next summer  (YEA).  Time here has been very good for us.  I have been able to finish my  BA's  and get a foot hold in  my chosen career.

( shameless plug, check out my other blog...  life from the stacks)

In the fall I will be starting Grad School. Very exciting and totally scary at the same time.
