p90x

I am determined to get into shape.  I want to be in better shape than I was pre-Jude.  I have done many things to try and get into shape- diet changes, ran a marathon.. nothing has worked so far.  Sean dropped off P90x which is a crazy 12 disc 90 day workout routine designed to confuse your muscles so that you  never platue.  One day you are doing a million chin-ups and push-ups the next you are jumping and squatting.  It is crazy intense. I sweat like a pig and smell like a skunk by the time I am done.  You can tell that many people complained about the main motivator is a complete douche canoe because you can actually mute him out.  All he does is constantly talk.  I personally don't have a problem with his rambling but I can see how it could get old after watching the video over and over.  So far I am on week 2 and I have lost 4lbs.  I am trying to set small goals for myself that will add up to my larger goal.  My current goal is to weight 200lbs and after that we will do 15 lb increments until I get to 160 lbs. 

I am starting a new job!!!  It starts on the 17th and I am super excited.  Sadly I will be getting less $ but the amount that we will save on childcare evens it out.  The bummer is that I have to get all new clothes.  I have been wearing a uniform for the last 3 years and I no longer fit into the clothes I had pre-baby.  I weight the same but my body has completely changed.

As for the little man.  He is getting the hang of grabbing things and sticking them in his mouth.  The blue wand in his hand is made to stimulate baby gums.  We have to be super vigulent about washing our hands because he is constantly grabbing fingers and stick them in his mouth.

We went on our first family road trip this past weekend.  Jude got to see Nick play in a band for the first time, he got to meet Simon (Simon is a month older than Jude and belongs to Joe Short and his wife Leah) for the first time and got to see a lake for the first time.

It was Short's Brewery's 6 year anniversary and they specifically requested Nick's former band to come and play.  Jude was amazing Friday night.  He stayed up until 11pm and listen to the music without a fuss.  Saturday night it was quite a bit busier and louder which Jude did not like quite as much.  I ended up leaving early with  him and he passed out 20minutes after getting to where we were staying.  He slept for 12 hours with just a few feeding times that he barely opened his eyes for.

It was incredibly windy at Torch Lake but Jude seemed to be really interested in both the wind and the water.

Below is Jude looking at himself in the mirror.  I was putting on my make-up in front of the mirror and he suddenly took interest in what he was seeing in the mirror.  It was adorable!
