Embarrassing, yet Inspiring.

Hello Friends! This is my newest progress photo! I can't update pounds lost, because, as you can see, I have lost more inches than pounds, and that's due to being built like a body builder! Hope this inspires you and I will keep posting, I am NOT giving up this round and I should be done by the end of May and back in better shape and health!

Thank you for all the support!

Good news/ Bad news

So if you are confused by the photo above, I will explain... THUMBS UP for completing the Insanity workout Pure Cardio with little breaks and THUMBS DOWN for the very obvious large amount of boobs I have, no matter how much weight I lose they don't want to disappear. Boo for boobs!

Here is the main reason for this blog post- I have lost two pounds! That may not be much to you, but for only doing 6 days of the Insanity program so far I think it rocks! I really need to start measuring my inches lost because I think I am doing great in that department aside from the BUST area :(

Now if you follow me on facebook, I promised this post would be on the comical and here goes,

The hilarious but true stages of Insanity for fat girls...
This is down to the minute feelings when you are a big girl going into an intense workout.
9am- Waking up, already DREADING working out and it is still 4 hours away.

10am- Still dreading it, but very much needing a workout as I am looking at the NOT to healthy options for breakfast, lucky charms, pop tarts and waffles... BUT alas I go for a Naked smoothie drink, OH to be thin again, it is a long tough road ahead!

11:30am- Feeding the punky lunch and trying to find literally ANYTHING that I can use as an excuse to not do my workout... "I had a bad morning", "I don't Look to fat today", "Punky gives me enough of a workout" "I wish I could just poop and then lose weight", "Maybe I should just consider stomach stapling", "If I want to get pregnant someday why even bother getting in shape?" "I WILL JUST SKIP LUNCH!"
Yes, the last one was a REAL consideration!

12pm- OH NO ONLY ONE HOUR UNTIL INSANITY TIME AND IT'S Pure Cardio day! :(

1pm- I put Punky down for a nap, and it is time, literally the ONLY break I get for the day, I use to sweat my ass off and kiss my carpeted floor. BUT Let's do this, I am sick and tired of being so damn fat!

Alright Here goes nothing... Workout begins!
First 10 Minutes (warm-up) Consists of jogging, jumping jacks, butt kicks and more- "Holy Boobs are out of CONTROL! Can I quit now? I already feel the burn?"

Next 5 Minutes (stretch)- Now since I am a dancer and still pretty flexible even with my weight, it was pretty easy, but it is false hope because it only lasts 5 minutes so my thoughts are "Wish it was like this the entire time, I could be so in shape!"

Here is where is gets CRAZY! Next 15-20 minutes- "OMG OMG OMG I AM SO FAT OMG OMG PLEASE MAKE IT STOP! I AM WAAAAAYYYYYY TO FAT FOR THIS!!!"

Last 7 Minutes- "I can do it, I can do it, OMG I did it, OMG my fat ass did it! Lets do it again!"

Cool down- "UHG, I have to do this again tomorrow and the next 4 weeks. Wish losing weight was magic."

After I am done and laying on the floor dying-" Man I really wish I could record my thoughts during these workouts, it would make for a HILARIOUS book. I completed day 7 and I CAN keep going, No Matter WHAT workout I do, I am ALWAYS doing more than lazy and stationary people, so nananana boo boo stick your head in doo doo. Yes I just went there ;)"


So the moral of this story is- GET UP GET MOVING, you burn more calories standing up than seated and everyone, yes everyone is capable of getting in shape!

Get moving and stay FABULOUS!

Insanity Day 1 and 2!

Soooooo, hello friends! On January 4th, I spent some time in the gym tanning bed, and looking in the mirror with only the bed lights on, it reveals just how HORRIBLE you look. I came to the realization that "Kind of" watching what I eat, and going to the gym once a day and doing 3 miles on the elliptical wasn't making the difference I wanted. If you know me personally, or read my first blog post, you know I used to be in shape, like top athlete, could kick your ass shape and now standing here at 189 pounds, in size 14 jeans I just feel like a failure of epic proportions I am failing myself, I am failing as a good healthy role model for my daughter, and I am failing my husband (because he has only me to look at till death do we part).
      This brings me to the decision I made that night. In April of last year I started the Insanity program and got through three weeks of it losing about 14 pounds. NO I did not quit, after the third week I had to pack and move an entire household into storage while taking care of a one year old alone. I started this program up again yesterday, and yes I started over, because since the last time I did it I gained ALL the weight back plus a few more. Day one was difficult, but invigorating, seeing that I am fatter but much more in shape this time around. I was able to complete more of the workout and do more correct push ups.
     Now, on to Day Two... I woke up this morning so INCREDIBLY SORE. I made EVERY excuse in the world not to do this workout, BUT looking at myself in the mirror changed my mind very quickly, so when Funky Punks went down for a nap I got my ass up and did it! After the 10 minute warm up the soreness let up, a LITTLE, the rest I just pushed through!
  HILARIOUS THOUGHTS THAT WENT THROUGH MY HEAD DURING THE WORKOUT-
"Man if I didn't have such giant boobs I could jump higher"
"Why the hell do I even need boobs!"
"I am the most in shape fat person I know"
"Keep jumping or your pants are never going to fit"
"This is what you get for loving food so much!"
"Wish I was flat chested."
So, a lot of the thoughts were about my giant boobs, and they are no joke GIANT, about 30 pounds of weight and cause me a LOT of back pain, even on normal, no workout days.

So friends, my words of wisdom of the day are, NEVER QUIT, there is never any excuse not to be healthy, you only have one life, do it right.

If you are keeping up with me each blog post, you will be seeing me struggle, but also hopefully, in the end, I will reach my goals to being a healthier me, and all the while I Hope I do you proud and MOTIVATE you as well! Please leave comments! I love knowing people are following and I am not just talking to myself! If I wanted to do that I would just talk to my husband! ;)

Now to pass out! :)
Peace, love and health!
