Week one

Day's 1-6:

This an account of how my first week with Insanity is going...I started Insanity a few months back but life got in the way and I had to stop for a while...Now I'm back on track. I decided to keep a journal for every day I workout and I figured I'd share with the world wide web in case there was anyone out there in need of a push or some encouragement.

I am also now a Team Beachbody coach!! Which just means I have a license to scream at you! No, joking...I will never scream...too loud so anyone hears it...no serious, I am doing this as a way to help motivate. I had that same help and I want to be able to share it with anyone and everyone who want's to change their life for the better...so with a daily routine, goals in place, my shakeology in hand and God on my side, let the journey begin!

I will post the week's journals but after this it will be a daily thing so as not to create this LARGE super looooooong post that will take you 20 minutes to scroll through (mine will only be 19 minutes). Enjoy and by all means JOIN ME on the the journey down the road less traveled by; a slower, realistic approach to weight loss not these get fit quick schemes you see during your nightly stroll with the remote control through numerous info-mercials.

Day one: Aug 16th 2010, Monday

Fit test today...WOW. I think I did better than the last time I did the fit test, but still it killed me. I wobbled to the bus stop to take my kids to school this morning. I feel so accomplished though. I refuse to give up this time. Had my morning fruit smoothie to hold me over...Can't wait for Amy to call so I can tell her about my 1st day...b4 pictures were enough to remind me that UGH, I need to whip it into shape NOW, how gross, and my measurements were horrible too, can't wait for the 2nd fit test just to see how much I improved!!

Day two: August 17th 2010, Tuesday

Started out good but cramps were too strong to continue, disappointed that I didn't get to finish but I will hit it hard tomorrow! Ate well today, made a nice veggie sauté. I am starting to get hungry all the time again, so went to get some healthy snacks and veggies. Looking forward to tomorrow, I'm sore and I LOVE it!

Day three: August 18th 2010, Wednesday

OMG I want to throw up. Y do I punish myself so?! Because I want to look good and I enjoy the fact that I am working for it and not taking short cuts. I made it through the entire workout with a few breaks but I did it, I saw the end and it was good!! I feel accomplished...my day can begin and I am still burning calories!! I feel so weak...I'm eager to get beyond this point! Had my youngest take some images of me working out just so I could see how ridiculous I looked, but to my surprise I'm doing it right, hence the burn I feel all over my body! And it burns so good! Pictures to come in another post.

Day four: August 19th 2010, Thursday

Recovery Thursday...My FAV part of Insanity! I'm hurting bad and I LOVE IT! I'm pushing and digging deeper!!! I signed up to be a beachbody coach yesterday and I am SO excited about that as well! It's just another push and step in the right direction...Now I HAVE to stay on top of this because I'm going to be an example to many. I'm on fire now wanting to sign everyone, wanting everyone to want to be as healthy as I do, as fit, and as toned, Can't wait to take after pictures!!

Day five: August 20th 2010, Friday

Pure cardio...."AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" that's all that came out of me today. It is most definitely not my favorite workout of the series but still it has to be done!! Nuff said!

Day six: August 21st 2010, Saturday

Gloomy day here but I busted my butt on Plyometric Cardio Circuit, CRAZY!! And in the middle of the video I actually felt like crying...from pain, from monthly hormones :-/, and because of the way Shaun T got down on the floor and was in Alicia's face and she turns to him sweating, panting and smiling...I just got so inspired by that. I'm just happy to be on my way to feeling and looking great. Week one is over and I could have spent this whole week doing nothing but sitting at my desk working or watching TV or lounging around hating myself and regretting that I didn't start but I DID, I am one week into it and 54 days closer to my goal!

LET'S GO!!!!! DIG DEEPER!

On a happy note my shakeology is on it's way!!!
