Weigh in Wednesday!

So its weigh in day..or should i call it moment of truth day?...ha ha

As i posted Monday i am starting to see a difference in my clothing and in my face. So i know i am still losing.

I stepped on the scale this morning and it said that my current weight is 177.5 and 34% body fat! Woo Hoo! That's only 2 lbs since last time, but its still a loss. I did measure as well. I was too curious to wait it out..he he. Well i am pleased to say that i am also down another 7.25 inches!! So after this i have come to the conclusion that i am an Insanity fanatic for life! I know it works so why waste my time trying to find another exercise.

This week is the final week for phase one! Can't believe its here already. When i started the program the first thirty days seemed so far away...and now here we are. Next week is the recovery week of Core Cardio and Balance, but don't let the word "recovery" fool you, i have watched this video....not easy! But then i guess it wouldn't be Insanity if it was:)

You may not hear from me for a few days. No worries:) Its Memorial Day weekend! YAY! We are going camping at Chain O Lakes campgrounds. I am so excited. First Camping trip of the year. I will still be watching my calories, even though i am on vacation. I will not be doing Insanity on Saturday while we are away, this is the first time since i started that i will miss a work out! I'm a little nervous. I am going to ride my bike and probably go for a run in the morning, just to get my exercise in. I will try and check in here Friday morning before we leave, but no promises:) I may send one over the weekend, if i am not to busy soaking up the sun and playing corn hole with friends:) I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day with family and friends. Remember to thank a soldier for all they do and to remember those who gave their all!

Sorry that i have not updated in a few days. Got a little busy.

We had such a great weekend! We had friends over Friday night for Supper and Corn hole! Then we played a little scum...(can't go with out the scum!)

Saturday we went out to Texas Roadhouse for supper with Kurt and Stephanie:) It was soooooooo yummy! I was so proud of my self! I stayed in the calorie count for the day, even with rolls and ribs:) (and of course a Raspberry Margarita that was...as Steph would say...delish:)) We then went to Cowboy Up in Medon, Mi. For Melissa's birthday:) It is a country western bar. We had so much fun with friends. 

 Then the camera came out and pictures started being taken. Steph and I took a picture and when i turned the camera around to see the picture boy was i shocked! It didn't even look like me.

I knew that i was losing weight and inches, but there is something about seeing a picture of yourself that just makes or breaks it. I was very pleased with the way that i am looking:)

O and by the way here is what i looked like a few months ago.

I can really tell in my face that i have lost:) Can't wait to post one at the 60 day mark!!!!

Coaching me.....

So i officially have a Beach Body Coach!! WOO HOO!!

Her name is Sara Ann Boling and she has taken the same path that i now travel...

She too decided that Insanity was for her, and it has changed her life!

Weigh in Wednesday!

Weigh in day!

So as planned i weighed in today:) I am happy to report that after another week of working hard i am down another 1.1 lbs! So that puts me at 179! I have not weighed that in years! Next stop 170! WOO HOO!!!!!

On a side note....Im so ready for a vacation!

I need to get away, i need time to relax.

This Saturday we are going out with friends to Texas Roadhouse! CHILD FREE!

I can't wait for one of these 

and of course these

I will be saving up all of my calories for this meal:)

Lets see if Insanity measures up!

So today is officially measurement day. Since Stephanie could not work out with me tonight, we measured me on Saturday. I was very anxious to see my results. So at the two week mark here I have the official results! As of 5/16 I have lost 17#s, 2% body fat, and 7 inches over all! I'm pretty stoked about that!

So Saturday was pure Cardio and then ABS. Lets Just say that ABS was less than easy;) I did like the fact that it was only 20 minutes long.

I am slowly starting to see a change in my clothes and in my overall endurance. Today was a little one the lady side, but what can I say, it was a long weekend:) Looking forward to next weekend! Couples night out! Woo hoo!
Till next time:)

Weigh in Wednesday!

Well I am half way through my second week. Still really loving this Insanity! I have decided that it would be best to weigh in on Wednesdays. You know half way through the week thing:) Sunday was not my friend on the scales. I guess the two slices of veggie pizza i had Saturday (which i had been craving, and my husband was so nice to get me for my mothers day meal:))did not like me:) I had gained 4 lbs back! YIKES! Ryan said that he thinks i am weighing in to often. I have to agree that if i continue to weigh every few days i will just stress myself out. That is why i think once a week is going to be plenty:) So look for my official Weigh in Wednesdays:)


So i did weigh in today. I am happy to report that i lost lost 4.5 lbs:) Bye, bye pizza guilt:) I do have to say that Monday and Tuesday's workouts were absolute butt kickers! I am kind of nervous for Saturday's. It is going to be two workouts. Pure Cardio and Cardio abs. Just for the fun of it Stephanie and i watched it to see what it would look like. Lets just say that our abs hurt just watching it! Eeeekk....... On the up side i get a massage on Friday night! Happy Mothers day to me:)


I will let you know how Saturday goes. If you don't hear from me you might want to send an EMT with some icy hot and heating pads!

Happy Mothers day!

Well insanity has kicked my butt this week. It has been hard but well worth it.

I discovered a few this this week while doing Insanity:
1: I am stronger than I give my self credit for.....I have much more will power than I ever though I would. I am loving this new found drive towards a goal!
2: I need to invest in a Really good sports bra! The ladies are doing more jumping than I am!
3: Stephanie and I have a lot in common. We both dislike sea food, neither of us are fans of swimming in lakes or the ocean (we prefer pools, less things jump out and grab you in there:)), and we both enjoy working out.....most days;)

So Friday was weigh in day. I stepped on expecting a pound or two. I got 7#'s! So my new weight is 181. I am starting to really feel a difference in my body. Not so much seeing anything in my clothes yet....we'll give that some time:)

Today is my rest day. It feels odd not to have a workout. Its also mother's day! Happy mother's day to all you hard working moms out there!

Day 4.....Not so insane...

So today was not so bad. For starters i was able to actually make it out of bed...which for me right now is pretty darn good..ha! Got out and got groceries. I did it the non-lazy way. I went to Meijer first and bought what i needed there. When i checked out i used the self check out lane and bagged my own groceries. Go Me! Then i went to Aldi and got the rest of my groceries, and again bagged my own (you don't get the option there:)) After putting away the groceries and getting Troy off the bus, it was time to see what Insanity had in store for me today. I was plesantly surprise to find that today was just Yoga and stretching....It was much needed after the last few days. I'm guessing i wont be so lucky tomorrow since its "Pure Cardio", but can you say fat burner:)

Like someone said on facebook yesterday...i wish we could fast forward 60 days to see what we look like:)

Stop the Insanity!!!!...on second thought i like it!

So i have been terrible about updating this.
Last week my insanity videos arrived
So Exciting!
I started them Monday
They are...well intense is the word that comes to mind!
I am really enjoying them though.
Crazy i know, but they really are awesomely terrible. Haha.....
As promised i am going to be updating this often (more often than i have been, i promise)
I am going to try and weigh in twice a week and measure myself...or have Stephanie measure me...weekly.....
So to update so far....
My weight as of 4/29/11 ,before insanity started, was 197 and 38% body fat! Yikes!
I weighed in again this morning and to my shock the scale was very nice to me:) As of 5/4/11 i have lost 8.8 lbs (down to 188.2!!) and 2% body fat! (down to 36%)
I am well aware that most of this is probably water weight, but that is always the first step!
Just so you know, i am using my Wii Fit board to weigh in. It is the easiest way for me to track it, and in the past has been pretty spot on with my weight.
I am so excited!
I can't wait to start Day 3 tonight with Miss Stephanie Hage!
Love it!
O and did i mention that we are going to Jamaica this fall!!!!! One more reason to slim down!
