Ok so here it is! It was longer than 60 days, but I can say I finished it.
Am a little disappointed in myself for not giving it my all 100% of the time.
The nutrition was really hard for me to follow. Not because I didnt know what to eat, but because I let me cravings and lack of discipline take over. And as you can see from the pics I am now paying for my weaknesses.
I went to my docs office to weigh my self this morning( dont laugh) I wanted to make sure the weight was right.
When I started I weighed 133 and as of this morning (Fully clothed, and after breakfast) I weighed 130. So I lost about 3 pounds. I lost 2 inches in my waist,
1 inch in my arms! thats way exciting for me!!
and 1 inch in my hips
I have gone down almost 2 whole pants sizes. I started off in a snug 6 and now in a comfy 4. But it really depends on the brand of clothing.


So all in all I am happy. I am thinking of giving it another round to see if I can get rid of this last tummy roll.
I still need to work on the back of my arms and upper thighs. These are areas that are the hardest I KNOW, but if I can make it through this then anything is possible.I knew it would not be easy and that I would mess up. I was hoping for better results , but I HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT MYSELF.
I hope to have inspired at least one person to make a healthy change or to at least consider working out. This is what these whole journey was about anyway.
MMMMMM...BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT WORKOUT SEEMS TO BE CALLING MY NAME........

4 days left!!!

Ok so its 4days till im done with Insanity. Today i woke up and felt SO VERY LIGHT.
Mt stomach was almost completely flat. Of couse as the day has gone on it has started to pouch a little. I can see a big difference in my middle and back. Finally today the scale dial moved! not only by one pound but by five!! I had bot weighed myself in over a week. Some how some way the weight has just started falling off. I think Im going to keep going another month with Samson and hopefully that will get me to my desired look.
Well Come Saturday morning are my final pics! I am a little nervous, but have to do it. Tonight I am going to pick it up another notch!! dig deeper!!

week 3 of month 2

Well eleven workouts left! cant believe it. Today was hard. Ate way too much yummy food at our Easter celebration. Woke up with a full stomach feeling.
Made myself workout this morning, eventhough It was the last thing I wanted to do.
Not sure why, but this month has been a struggle for me.
Its a mental thing. Just knowing that every workout is almost an hour long and is by no means easy. Pushing start has been the hardest part. Within 10 minutes doing the workout, im feeling great. Motivated and focused. But then the last 10 minutes are almost impossible for me to muster thru. Well enough complaining.
Tomorrow is Plyo- I really dislike plyo. Hope there is a difference in my 2 month before and after pics. Getting nervous!
On another note, My husband is starting his 2nd week of insanity and ALREADY is seeing a difference. REALLY?!!!! He is going to reach his goal by the end of the month. Way to go Samson! So proud of you.

week 2 of month 2

well today felt like a monday! it was hard and I struggled to get through it, but did it. Today was cardio. Not as long, but way hard. NO breaks and nonstop moving.
Today Samson started his insanity! Cant wait to see his results. It warms my heart to know that I inspired him and others to start this amazingly Hard program. It works. Im living proof. I hope to have amazing resluts in these next few weeks. Keep your fingers crossed.
My Back fat is almost gone! my arms are tighter. My thighs feel smoother, not much smaller, but smoother. My stomach, just does not want to participate in the transformation.

im not dead or quit

Ok so I had a few set backs and spring break and moving classes and appts.
But Im back and doing good. I started month two over again. I had been doing it, but only when I could. like two or three times a week. And the eating was off. I never realized how easy it is to stay on track if I stay home. But if Im out of my home during meal time, its almost impossible to stay on track.
I am now on the end of my first week of month two. So As of tomorrow I will have 3 full weeks left of INSANITY.

I can honestly say that this had been a hard program mentally.Dont get me wrong it is still hecka hard. But once I get in the zone I am amazed at how strong I am becoming.
I hear that by the end of the second week of month two the weight starts to really fall off. So by this time next week I should be reporting on those rumors.
I did something stupid yesterday, i got on the scale!!
Yep you guessed it, the dang dial had not moved since last weigh in. 130 STILL!!!

YEAH,YEAH, I know muscle weighs more than fat... blah blah blah.
I want to see that dial go DOWN! Yes my clothes are fitting better, Some are to big
but still its a mental thing and I hate it.
Well just updating everyone, incase anyone is still reading this.

before and afters.

Well todays the day that I have been dreading for the past 30 days. I am a little disappointed with the results. I wanted more! But I have to take a step back and remember its only been one month. And that it took a long time to put the weight on. I will admit I see more results in the pics Than when I look in the mirror. Well take a good long look, cause they will be gone come tomorrow morning. And on March 25 the next month will be posted!
Ok so Im new at this whole posting pics nad getting them lined up right. It took me 3 hours just to figure out how to get the pics side by side. After I finished I realized that the pics were not in the right order. Sorry, but I sure hope you can tell which is before and which is after. How embarrassing this is!!!!











So this is the same pose I did on day five. You can see the flexibility improvement in my legs. Crazy! And the definition in my arms. Im thinking I should just pose like this everywhere I go, that way my muscles are on display.

day 30!!! Half way point

WOW! Has it been 30 days already?! Im still going strong and chugging through this program.  Insanity has yet to become easy for me, I dont think it was made to be, you just keep pushing harder and faster and learn to workout like you never have before.

Yesterday I started the 2nd month workout. I was suppose to do the 1 week recovery before starting the second month, but skipped it due to time restrictions.

Month 2 is  crazy! I thought the first month was a challange. This takes it to a whole new level.
I woke up this morning not able to lift my arms or walk down the steps. I am sore just like the first day of insanity.
This mornings plyo was not as bad breathing wise. It was more Balance and strength. But still really difficult.
Im wondering if doing the one week recovery video was supose to get my body ready for month 2? All I know is that Im not sure how Im going to get through this next 29 days torture?!!
