We have names!
Monday, September 28, 2009
"Ti-ti" and Uncle "Dosh" finally have names! I thought I would just give it a whirl and see if Andrew would copy me and say our names and he did. The amazing thing about this is that he doesn't only know our names, but he knows us. My sister handed Andrew a picture of us four (Me, Josh, Ann-Marie, and Andrew), and he pointed to everyone of us saying our names. I know, he is 19 months, so he should be able to do this stuff at this point, but now that he is actually doing it, it's impressive. I can remember his actual birth day like it was yesterday, now to look at who he has become warms my heart. It's amazing to see the way God has given this child habits, a personality, and an attitude . . . he's uniquely Andrew and I love it. It's really cool to see the changes that occur and how easy it is to teach him new things.

Yes, it's true. I have . . .

Okay, I'm not going to lie, I have "cankles." Go ahead, laugh. :-] I hate my ankles, or lack thereof. When I logged onto the computer today, MSN had an article about cankles and ways to get rid of them (yeah, right!). It had a bunch of links and pictures. Talk about an ego booster! I don't have cankles as bad as most of these people do, but I must admit, I do have them. It's something that I've struggled with accepting and I hate wearing shorts because of them. But hey, I'm working on the calves, so maybe they'll begin to "disappear." Haha! I feel so weird for talking about this, but it's me . . . I don't want to portray something I'm not, so you're going to get the Ashley that I am, cankles and all!
I have noticed that my last like 40 blogs I have not posted any pictures. I am sorry about that. Most of the time, I am writing blogs from work or trying to write them quickly from home, so I have not had the chance to post pictures. I promise I will have pictures up soon, though.

The scale broke
Thursday, September 24, 2009
So, as you all know, I have been doing P90X . . . very faithfully. I don't know if I mentioned it previously, but I am no longer doing the meal plan. It is too inconvenient with me being at work and school and having no time to actually cook something or pack a lunch or dinner for every place I go. For those that aren't familiar with P90X, it is a 90 day (very intense) workout plan. I am now on day 31! You are supposed to weigh yourself and take pictures every 30 days and it guarantees results. It's no lie. But . . .
I made the mistake with starting the plan during my heaviest time of the month, if you know what I mean. So, when I weighed myself yesterday, day 30, I actually weighed more. How does that happen?! I understand that muscle weighs more than fat, but sheesh! I am definitely bloated and heavier right now, but I look and feel better. But, my body fat percentage is up, too. Maybe from water weight? Who knows. My argument is that the scale is broken. What I do know though is that my stomach, legs, arms, everything is tightening up (and shrinking); there is a big difference and it's only day 30! I love this workout!
I have done very well. I would say that the hardest part for me is actually waking up extra early for school and getting the workout in. I want to just lay in bed and get that extra hour and a half of sleep. Sometimes I do and I'm forced to do the workout at night after work (which stinks!).
I would definitely recommend this workout to anyone that is looking for some high-intensity work out plan that promises results.
