All the World's a stage, and All the Men and Women merely players.

-Shakespeare.

I wish I could go back in time and inquire about his comment. What happened to him that made him think this? Was he going through the same things Jen and I have come across in the past few weeks?

Wouldn't it be cool if I could pick his mind and post the Q & A here on my blog?
Only I'm sure there would be a lot lost in translation throughout time. The difference in the English dialects would be confusing and probably end up similar to this:

Me: So.... Shakey.... what's up with Romeo and Juliet?

W.Shakespeare: Comprehend your meaning, I cannot. (sorry, he talks like Yoda in my imagination)

Me: Riiiggghhhttt..... Nice tights.


Hopeless.
Anyway, back on track now.
Does anyone else out there feel like nothing is under their control?
I feel like I'm just a pawn in some giant game of chess. And right now, my team seems to be losing..Maybe we're playing Bobby Fischer.

Jen And I have been through some major life changes lately. Is either of us doing the right thing with the choices we've made? Do we continue on our current path, or should we accept defeat?

Too many questions. Not enough answers.
I hope one day the answers will be given to me.

Back from Hiatus

P90X Week One : HELL WEEK!

We finished basic training.

HAha, it felt kinda like boot camp.

But we made it.

We did our best to keep up with the people in the videos, but seeing as we were beginners, it was pretty much impossible.

However, I'm beginning to see improvement. As a result, I've just about made it to a smaller rung on the belt. Which is really impressive considering its had only been 7 days. I've been eating better also, and all in all I've slept better and felt better. I would really recommend this to anyone. However start small. Do the beginner program first.

See our week one conclusion interview below:

P90X Day One

I've been slacking on getting my videos posted on the progress of our P90X workout. Its tough to keep up on stuff like this when you have a full time job, workout for at least an hour following work, then have to make dinner when you get home.
I'm pretty much worthless in the evenings after all that.
Especially after doing my P90X.
See below, and ENJOY. \m/

Life of the Party

So apparently Jen and I are the life of the party.

Wherever we go, the party goes.

And even at a Random Piano bar in Tulsa, the performer recognized the natural ability. We both got asked up to the stage.

Jen getting the royal treatment:

And me trying to teach some chicks left from right in the hokey pokey:



The video is from my little phone, so its not so great of quality.
But Here is Jen's Song.

And so it begins....

We are still waiting on our P90x program to arrive in the mail.
But I've started us out with a preprogram interview from the both of us.





Enjoy

P90x New Years Resolution

I used to be fit.

Not just fit even, buff.
I wasn't ever the slight framed/petite type of girl.
Even had a four pack, not quite a sixer, but good for a girl.
Had these guns that were really impressive too.

I played soccer for 12 years. And up in High school my coach thought that a soccer player should be all around strong, so twice a week we worked out our entire bodies. Lifting weights, doing crunches. Hell, we were so badass, we even did lunge sprints.
Which is basically racing each other with lunging down the field. The winner only had to lunge the first leg, the losers had to lunge back. It wasn't unheard of for me to walk the last leg back with a gloating heart.

But, getting married, and getting a desk job really hinder the amount of activity one can get. And college didn't help any either, when the best meal one could afford/make time for was usually a pizza at one a.m., in between studying.

It all went downhill from there.

So, Jen and I are doing the P90x workout as a new years resolution.
It is an intense 90 day program to lose weight and get in shape.
The weightloss isn't such a big factor, as the need to get fit is in my opinion.
But I wouldn't mind losing a clothing size or two while I start getting in shape.

We decided that we are going to blog about our transformations.
Starting with a beginning blog with starting photos and perhaps links to videos about our expectations and motivations.

We'll start a countdown when the program gets started, right now we are in the planning stages.

I hope you find this informative, helpful, interesting, and perhaps funny at times.
I have great hopes for what the end of the 90 days will look like.
