What the french fries?!?!

Month 2 HURTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So why not we make the workouts more challenging AND longer?!? You are already exhausted so let's kick up the exhaustion times a billion yo !

What the french fries Shaun T? Really?

Two days ago I did an hour workout where there were NO rests NONE NADA ZILTCH!!!!!

AND

yesterday I did the recovery workout with the yoga balancing crap and the strength pulsing...puke....barf... LOATHE IT!!

AND AND

today I hurt but I'm expected to do another hour long workout! pfffftttttt!!

I'm not gonna lie I paused the dvd about half way through to give myself a pep talk because I was ready to shut the dang thing off. I kept saying, "You can do this! You got this! Look how far you've made it! You can do all things through Christ! No obstacle is too big for you with God on your side!" I turned the thing back on and pushed! I didn't have much left in me but I got through it and I feel

STRONG!

LOVE IT!

Month 2 Here we go!!!

Well my friends last week was "Recovery" week and I totally recovered. I'm not gonna lie I had things going on in life and I didn't do my dvd every single day but I really feel my body needed that rest I feel so ready to start month 2 let's get started baby!!!!!

Yesterday I tried on the jeans I was wearing last summer at this time and ummmmm WOW!! I use to fill those jeans out and I was to the point where I almost needed a bigger pair. These jeans I am keeping as a reminder of the days I would drop to the floor of my closet and just cry. I was so upset with myself and so very miserable! I absolutely refuse to ever go back!!! Heading North for life peeps FOR LIFE!! I am so excited!!! I feel so so good!

This exhaustion has been so very worth it!!!!







ooh look a sneak peak at my arm! LOL






I'm ready for you INSANITY Month 2 LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!!!

Day 30~ Stinkin' Thinkin'

I truly wish I would've posted on Day 28 which was weigh in day. I was on top of the world happy because I FINALLY reached a total weight loss of 40 lbs!!!!! (actually 41) I looked in the mirror and just thanked God for getting me this far! It's been difficult yet the results are making it so very worth it.

This week however I was hit with awful mood swings that are extremely hard to control. It's more difficult for me to just slap on a smile and fake through it. (use to be pretty good at that) So as I push through the poopy emotions I am pushing through the disappointing fact that it's day 30 and I have only lost 4 lbs with Insanity. It's hard to concentrate on the fact that this was the push I needed to get over my hurdle. That I was working so very hard on my own and lost 35 lbs but then my body finally said I'm done and taking a break. So instead of taking the chance of letting old habits creep back in I bought INSANITY to push through it and not give up! It's hard to concentrate on the fact that I've lost around 2% of my body fat and around 5 inches. I can do walking planks, and push up jacks, and moving push ups when I started I could barely do one. I have worked so so so hard but this week it's hard for me to focus on the positives but guess what I am doing it anyway! I have worked so so hard and I'm stronger and slowly getting leaner I absolutely am not giving up! I want badly to just say "screw it what's the point".  The husband just took a service call and I want badly to just hop in the car and go to McDonalds. You know what I have learned discipline in this journey and to fight emotions and to fight the cravings and I'm not stopping now! I have come to damn far for a stupid french fry to ruin it all!! I'm gonna put my big girl panties on and get through this emotional hurdle and keep pushing on & DIGGING DEEP!


You can do it!!! Push through the emotions..... the stinkin' thinkin' and realize you are AWESOME and made for so much more than a food addiction or laziness or grumpy attitudes whatever it may be. You were made for excellence and to be the best you that you can possibly be!

Don't you dare go around that same mountain because I sure ain't!!

Day 26: 100% INSANITY

Well my little blog readers it took me 26 days and I am almost ashamed to admit it but tonight is the first I can actually say I gave 100% and truly mean it! My flesh wanted to give up but I found that place deep inside and I pushed hard and jogged faster, and jumped higher, and gave it my absolute all!

I even yelled 'hell no you aren't quitting' outloud at the t.v. and it felt awesome!! For the first time since I started this journey I felt really really proud of myself and felt like I could conquer the world! This program has been the best purchase ever and has taught me so much about myself! I have it in me to go beyond what I thought were my limits! Giving up is NOT an option for once in my life!!!

I not only sweat more than I ever sweat before but I was breathing the heaviest yet so far!! I am so freaking proud of myself!! I didn't think it was possible to sweat anymore but I was soaked and I mean clothes soaked...... even my coochie had sweat dripping from it LOL!! (yea sorry tmi)


I was hoping to get a good picture of the sweat but I don't think you can tell but here is a picture of me after the workout my friends! If this girl can do it you absolutely have it in you! Keep striving to be the best YOU that you can be & DIG DEEP!



100% INSANITY




Days 22-25

I'm still hanging in there boys & girls still hanging in.....

Yesterday I slipped on the eating a bit (well actually in reality I ate clean during the day that I still stayed within my plan) ~ went for wing nite and just felt poopy after! Too much salt & grease yet I didn't spend time in the John so that's a plus. This morning I am so thirsty & feel gross. bleh but I peeked on the scale yesterday morning and I should have a good weigh in result Sunday if I don't fall off the wagon completely this weekend. Gotta STAY STRONG!

I've been pushing through the workouts. My least favorite dvd is actually the cardio recovery and I know that's INSANE since it's the least strenuous but I loathe squats and lunges and pulsing and ewwwwww it makes me angry! Grrr!!!!

I apologize ahead of time but I just don't think I will bare my arms after Month 1 so I will push hard in Month 2 because I HAVE to wear t-shirts it would be disappointing not to after all this INSANITY!! AND I would love love love to buy cute dresses too that's my goal even if I don't reach the weight range I'd like to I'd still like to be toned and comfy enough for t-shirts and dresses.

=)

IT WILL BE DONE!!!!!!

Days 20-21

I have lost NO weight or NO inches this week!! I was so frustrated yesterday after I weighed in. I have worked so hard and I'm almost to day 30 and I've lost what maybe 5lbs. BOO HOO!! Yea Yea I have learned to have peace with the scale it's not the number that counts blah blah blah but damnit I want that number to go DOWN DOWN DOWN!! So I took my bratty attitude and I ate and I ate all the wrong crap and I didn't care! Now did that help the situation? Nope! Did I feel better? Nope! (well temporarily until the food went down the pipes and out the bum) So I looked back on last week and guess what? I didn't drink enough water AND I wasn't logging my food so I could've ate too little or ate too much I wouldn't know because I didn't log it! TISK TISK

I soooooo know better so today I worked it HARDCORE! I just pushed the hardest I pushed and my head is soaked and I still have sweat pouring down. It felt good!!

Game on scales Game on!!

Days: 17-19

Well I am super excited to share with you a few things but let's go backward a bit to a few days ago....

Day 17:  The 4th of July I worked it and I wanted to punch Shaun T in the farking face!! It was a hot day & I was soaked and tired! I had no picnics to attend so I ate clean as well. (Ok so I tried making Turkey burgers and I'm not gonna lie the turkey gamy taste just creeped me out not sure I'll do those again)

Day 18: "Rest Day"  Well to be honest I came home and ate almost an entire packet of ritz crackers while dipping them in salsa. Not really sure what got into me~ maybe it was the lack of picnic food I'm not sure so I did do a Brooke Burke workout (not as intense) but I'll still call it my rest day as far as INSANITY goes! ;)

Day 19: Ok are you ready? Que the music!!!! I JUMPED!!! I jumped & I jumped high I was like a ninja warrior princess extraordinaire!!! I don't know what got into me especially since I waited until after work to do INSANITY ?!!?!? BaNaNaS!!!  Actually you know what I do know what got into me.....you ready for this? I had my afternoon dump at work and as I was sitting on el tolieto I looked down at my legs and you'll never guess what!?!?!?

Are you ready?


You sitting down?

My
Legs
Do
NOT
touch

Yup you heard me my legs don't touch when I'm sitting down people!!!!!! Chubby ladies you will understand this!! Now granted it's like a centemeter or whatever the tiniest little gap but it soooooooo counts!!!!!!

THEY DON"T TOUCH!!!!!!


That right there is enough for me to JUMP for joy!

This white girl really CAN jump!

BOOYA

Day 16: Cardio somethin or other

THIS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I have had two glorious days off of work but I still worked out today! I came close to puking up my lunch today but I pushed through & kept yelling CHOCOLATE CAKE CHOCOLATE CAKE! (yesterday I ate a piece of triple layered chocolate cake from Olive Garden) Today's workout motivation was the orgasmic experience of the chocolate ganache touching my taste buds!!!

*bliss*

Day 15: Fit Test

Apparantly today is day 15 and I can't count (suprise suprise). Well today is the first day I feel like vomitting! :( Not cool!! I pushed myself through the fit test and I improved in most exercises & stayed the same for the jumping ones. I have pwoblems jumping what can I say this white girl cannot jump! I have not been promoted to spider monkey just yet. (ninja turtles I have let you down) I could give you every excuse in the book however deep down I know I'm just not pushing hard with the jumps due to fear and it's time to let go!!!


This week is soooooooo on!!!
