Day 22 - Struggling . . .

Today was the hardest its ever been to make myself work out. I had no motivation and I felt icky and all sorts of not good. I forced myself to do Pure Cardio but I started so late that I didn't have time to do Cardio Abs before quiet hours set in. I managed to get myself to exercise and work hard tonight, but only after a lot of pushing from friends. I will have to do Cardio Abs tomorrow with Cardio Power and Resistance. It might work better that way anyways since I don't have class tomorrow.

I've been slacking at keeping track of my eating these last two days, too. I'm determined to get that back on track tomorrow.

Day 20 - Stalemate

Me and the scale have been staring each other down all week. The scale has not yet budged. I'm getting impatient with that one pound - it just needs to tip from 150 to 149. I want to say good bye to the 150s forever, but Mr. Scale has not been agreeing with me!

I'm actually a little bummed I haven't lost anything in the last week. I have been exactly 150.8 for the last six days. I'm so excited to go to 149 that I keep checking, which I know I shouldn't do, but damnit I'm impatient!

Above is my eating for this week, I did pretty good, I managed about 90-95% clean eating. Last night being one of my exceptions - I couldn't resist the pizza! I think pms is starting to rear its ugly head. Also today, I had the hardest time working out. My workouts have gotten worse and worse this week. I am feeling like I have no energy and no motivation. I don't know if its pms or if I'm starting to really fall into a slump. I need to find a way to pull myself out of it soon. I'm afraid of month two of Insanity . . .

Oh well, I'm going to sleep on it and just do homework today. Tomorrow is my day off - woo hoo!

Day 19 - Team LeeAnn and Alexa!

Today I got my friend Alexa to work out with me and that was a lot of fun. She agreed its a pretty insane workout! I had someone to lie on the floor with and gasp for air :)

Tomorrow is the last day of week three with Plymetric Cardio Ciruit - possibly my least favorite. But the Pure Cardio with the Cardio Abs comes pretty close . . . Its hard to believe that I've been doing this for three weeks now. I'm gonna need to gain my second wind soon, I'm starting to drag a little bit in these workouts. hopefully the recovery week after this next one has me ready for more.

The scale has been set at 150.8 for a half a week now . . . I keep wanting it to drop to 149 so bad! I'm ready to say goodbye to those 150s and go into the 140s! I am going to keep my diet in check to make sure that I can give myself the push I need for this to work. I'm sure I'm gaining some muscle too, which could be part of why the scale isn't dropping as fast as I would like, but oh well. We'll see.

Day 18 - up and down . . .

Today was a roller coaster of a day for me. I was up and down all day. I need to get my mind back in the game of eating right and working out . . . I haven't messed up today, but at the same time, I really really want to! Aunt Flo is around the corner and she's coming with a vengeance! May the force be with me as to not undo everything I've done so far.

I'm thinking I may treat myself and hike up to Whole foods, grab some groceries and a pre-made dinner. Soup sounds delicious. I think that may be a safe alternative.

I also really need to get out of the house, I want to drop in Borders, my favorite store, I just wish I had someone to go with. Most of my friends are out of town for the summer and the ones that are here now are all busy and scattered about . . . :/ oh well.

Today I did Cardio Recovery and it was hard for me to muscle through - I felt like I had no energy today. Aunt Flo is being a bitch. But oh well, I did it and now I'm moving on.

Tomorrow is Cardio Power and Resistance, I need to get my butt back in gear before then! Hopefully a good night's sleep will do it!

Day 17 - Bummed . . .

Well, today I realized just how much being bummed can mess up your workout. I'm having family problems and while I worked out I couldn't concentrate at all. I just kept thinking about the issues. I did do it, but I'm looking forward to an easier day tomorrow - Cardio Recovery. I need to get my mind back on track.

Today I decided it would be my "free food night" because its my friend's birthday, so I ate cake batter. Other than that, though, I've been pretty good with the eating. I'm back on track tomorrow.

Day 16 - Turbo fire?

Today I weighed myself and was once again at 150.8! So that's good news and has me pretty excited!

Today I did Plyometric Cardio Circuit and put my all into it. I worked my ass off! I felt so tired after the workout that I laid on the floor for probably 10-15 min before moving! I'm really trying to push myself and dig deeper! I want to be ready for next month! The Max workouts look so intense that they frighten me a little bit. And they're right around the corner! Its hard to believe that I've only got a little less than two more weeks of month one and then I'll be moving on to month two! Go me! I feel very accomplished! I can't wait for my shirt!

I'm so into this that I don't want to stop just when Insanity is over - I need something to keep going and working towards. So I was looking around at new workouts and saw that there's Turbo Fire that just came out by Chalean Johnson - she does the Chalean Extreme series that I did for a while. I'm considering getting back into those or do the P90x when I graduate from Insanity.

Turbo Fire looks really fun. It looks like Insanity but with more dancing. I'm considering giving it a try when I get done, it reminds me a bit of DDR, and we all know how much I love DDR! I just know that Chalean can get a little annoying, I didn't like Turbo Jam, so I'm going to have to test the waters before I do anything . . . We'll see. If not that, then I'll do something else. I'm still thinking I might want weights after this. I think Freddie will want some weights, too, for when he works out with me. I'll have to keep his booty on track!

We shall see how it goes!

Free Insanity T-shirt!

Just found this! I'm so going to turn in my pictures for a free shirt! I will have earned it!
