Bonjour

I know I have not posted much this month at all but I have good reason. I did a study abroad in Europe. It was an absolutely amazing experience that I will never forget. We went to London, Paris, Normandy, Amsterdam, and Bayeux. For the first few days we stayed in London and Amsterdam where they spoke English so it was pretty easy to get directions, ride the "tube", and order food at a restaurant. It was not until we crossed into France that it truly felt like like we were in another country. I will never forget having to go to the bathroom for the first time in France. I was so shocked that you had to PAY for the bathroom, even in restaurants! Ordering food was always an adventure. My strategy was simply order what I could say. That always kept dinner interesting. This was the second time I have been to Paris but the first time I can really remember. What a beautiful city it was. This defiantly will not be my last time!

Number Two... Completed

I have completed P90X whoo hoo!!! I feel amazing. I can do things that were unthinkable three months ago. Push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups and even that crazy weird under the fence swooshing motion (anyone whose done it knows what in talking about!) Since i first started i have gotten much more toned but I do not want to deceive anyone reading this. I do have to confess that I was not the most strict on the diet part of it, but hey i did more than a lot of other people! Now I by no means am saying that I was eating french fries and ice creameveryday at all I just did not follow the diet to the T. None the less I am extremely excited to have completed it and to my great surprise working out is strangely addicting. I am in the best shape of my short 18 year life. I think I would dare say even better than when I tested for my black belt. So with that said I have decided to either do P90X again starting in may or join lifetime fitness's Run Club. Sadly I was the only one of all the people I started with to complete it so I am hoping they might try again.

To anyone who wants to get into great shape I highly recommend P90X. I am amazed at what it has done for me in just three months. But do not miss understand me, it is no walk in the park... but its worth it.

Not only am i excited to have finished P90X but I am also really happy to be able to cross that off of my new years resolutions and its only April, I still have eight more months left!

Till next time,
