Do any of you ever feel completely overwhelmed? Like, all of the responsibility of life is yours. How do you handle it?!

For me, I feel this way all the time and it just builds and builds and builds until I just want to cry with frustration. My husband lost his job a while ago, so financial responsibility for us is completely and 100% mine. I am the one that has to figure out how to pay the bills and how to make ends meet. Even if Hubby were working, I would still be the one doing this, there just would be extra income to play with.

So, I've been on birth control since I was 17 and am now 25. There have been a few periods for various reasons and lengths (anywhere from one month to 6 months), that I was unable to take the "pill". A few of the times I was actively sexually involved with whoever my partner was at the time. I've not always been "great" at taking the pill either. I usually always take it everyday, but the times tend to vary quite a bit sometimes.

I just got the P90X in the mail yesterday and I am SUPER excited to start it. I really only want to lose about 10-15 pounds and tone myself up a little bit, so I am doing the "lean" version of it.

Have any of you tried this workout program before? I know its going to be intense (and I am excited about it!)

I'm going to try to follow the nutrition program as well. That will be the hardest part, I think. You only get 1 carb a day for 30 days (the first 30 days...ie: phase 1...is called the "fat shredder" phase.
