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!

Open window, chuck out computer!!

So yesterday was the first day of our core conversion update on all our systems. New systems, new tickets, and new questions! By lunch time i wanted to pull my hair out! Ahh!! We had so many phone calls that i lost count. It was always the same question too...."i can't get into my online banking, blah..blah...blah....Ugh! Anyway today is my day off. So when i should be doing dishes and laundry and many other things, i continue to sit on my butt humming Bruno Mars' song "The Lazy Song" ( http://youtu.be/fLexgOxsZu0 ) , my theme for the day:)

You just weight.........

Why do i wait so long to post? I guess i lack the time for the most part. I am too busy not wanting to do the laundry, dishes, dust and many other things:)

I wish spring would get here already. While i do enjoy the winter, i have to say that i have defiantly had my fill of it this year.

I bought the insanity videos last week. Can't wait to get them. I am so ready to do this! I am a little bummed that many people around me are telling me that i can't do it! I guess that just gives me more drive! Tell me i can't and i will show you that not only can i do it, but i can do it better than you ever could! I am so miserable with the way i am feeling lately. No energy, i feel terrible, look terrible...blah, blah, blah......I am also fast approching the BIG 30! AHHHH!!!!! I wanna be one of those people who says "im in better shape at 30, than i was in highschool! :)

I am hoping to track my weight loss process on here and facebook. As soon as i get the videos i will start:) I guess i must get back to the fifth load of laundry for the day....ugh........
