Week 2, Do you're best and leave the rest!

I started week two this week. I'm only a few days into the week to but it's going very well so far. Core synergistics kicked my butt as usual, but i managed to get 50mins into it which is a 10 min improvement from last week, and cardio x i was again able to get the whole dvd done. I am only a week in but i am already starting to feel better and i have dropped a couple pounds which has made some of my clothes fit a little more comfortably. I can actually throw my jeans in the dryer again without fear that i won't be able to button them. I am hoping by May that all my jeans fit again and i don't have muffin top anymore. I am realistic about my goals and i know i won't be able to go down another size in jeans because I'm almost 30 and I've had 2 kids. Even if i lost every single ounce of fat on my body my hips aren't going anywhere. The inner tube around my belly id more than welcome to take a hike though! I'm not following the meal plan exactly, but i using it as a guide as far as portions go and % go. It's really hard for me to not reach for my fav carb snacks and i have had the occasional hand full of skittles here and there but i also know that if i don't allow myself a bite or two of the things i love i will end up wanting them more and more and end up pigging out on a pound of skittles and 10 servings of french fries which is way worse than taking a bite when i get the craving and it won't go away.
My husband also started this week, it's his week one and he started on Monday so he is a day ahead of me as far as workouts go. I'm not sure what his overall goal is, but i know he also wants his inner tube to go away (and I'm not gonna lie I'm looking forward to that day). Men tend to lose weight quicker than women do on P90X so it's gonna be tougher for him to stick with it till then end once he gets that drop in weight. For me it's gonna be hard for me to stick with it when Jeremy starts dropping pounds quicker than i do, but i have to remind myself that i won't get the full effect unless to give it the full 90 days. I've also read online that women who do it for 180 days see the BEST results, so after 90 days i might just keep going! Only time will tell.
In other Non workout news today is my Grandma's birthday! She would kill me if i put her age on the internet so i won't be i wanted to send a quick HAPPY BIRTHDAY shout out to my grandma. She will be getting the Happy Birthday phone call from my kids later this afternoon.
