Motivation

I have found myself tonight looking at every video that I've posted onto my youtube account and reading every journal entry that I've posted onto this blog......why?

Because I need motivation! LOL

I'm at the point now where I just want to quit. I'm on day 24 and day 60 seems so far off. I try to remind myself that I've made it 24 days thus far and that is an accomplishment but mentally and physically I'm tired. I have never known a feeling like this...what happened to all of the energy that I had when I first began the program???? I' find myself back to plenty of sleepless nights..........not because I'm up with so much to do but because after my workouts my muscles throb and hurt so much that I find myself laying in bed, in pain, in tears waiting to drift off to sleep. That usually happens at around 11 or 12 and thus I wake up at 6 or 7 in a bad mood, mad at the world, mad at me, and ready to give up.

I will pat myself on the back for the following reason...I havent given up yet! But I cant say that its been easy. Even as I type this my eyes fill up with tears. THIS IS HARD!

If I couldn't count being a mother, I'd easily say this is the hardest thing that I've ever had to do. :0( And because of all of the feelings that I've been experiencing somehow someway I've lost track of "why" I started this plan to begin with. I've lost focus....its become solely about the weight loss and I never wanted it to be that way. This was suppose to be a full journey....it was suppose to be FUN! What happened?

I'm trying to stay focused on the goal at hand....36 more days! I can do this. Right? Right? Somebody please tell me I can do this lol

Recommendations

Ok so while I have been on the Flat Belly Diet I have discovered so many tasty things! Who said dieting had to be disgusting? I have eaten delicious food....no matter how gross they sound at the time lol



1. Bran Flakes---I have bran flakes daily for breakfast without sugar and they are delicious! The first time I had them I thought they would be disgusting....NO SUGAR SON???



but it is very delicious. I highly recommend it and on the TMI level--it keeps your colon working ;)

2. Lactose free skim milk--I highly doubt that when these 60 days are done that I'll go back to drinking regular cow's milk. Before I started this I would only drink fat free cow's milk....the lactose free milk is without lactose....duhhhh lol Lactose is the sugar that is in milk. The lactose free milk has a fresher taste and its really not as expensive as some people think. I buy the Walmart brand and 1 cart costs 2.98..not bad at all.



3. Veggie meatballs----oh my god! These things are sooooooo delicious! You cant even tell you're not eating meat! I had them with pasta and Newman's own marinara sauce and then wrapped in a pita with marinara sauce. Both times it was delicious!

4. Organic chicken---its smaller and tastes better! A lot of people complain about the price however I purchased organic chicken thighs and they are only 3.25 at Walmart.....thats cheaper than buying drumsticks or chicken breasts that are not organic. I think people in general hear the term "organic" and instantly think expensive....do your research. You'd be surprised!



5. Fat free Italian dressing----very flavorful and only contains 50 calories per 2 Tablespoons. I love to place it on a bed of organic mixed greens, carrots and mushrooms.

Another Fit Test

Ok so today was the day that I was suppose to take another fit test! YES, its been 2 weeks already. I cant believe it. I took the first fit test 14 days ago and here were my results:
52 kicks
20 Power jacks
30 Power Knees
12 Power jumps
2 Globe jumps
0 suicide jumps/pushup jacks



LOL I KNEW that I was going to do improvements based on how my workouts have been going but I was a little scared because I was battling a hangover and seriously considering putting off the fit test. I continued with it because I'm on a schedule and the schedule says fit test today! Well here were my results:

70 kicks
30 power jacks
45 power knees
13 power jumps
4 globe jumps
0 suicide jumps/pushup jacks



Soooooooooooooooooooo as you can see my numbers went up! I still have not worked my way up to the suicide jumps/pushup jacks as you can see....I need to learn how to do a regular pushup first LOL! But I am proud of me! My family members were very cooperative! I cant wait to see what the others have done on their fit test today!

Day 14 down!

What Day Is It Again????

My days are running into each other LOL! Thankfully I have a personal journal that I am keeping with the FBD so I am able to see. Lets see I started Insanity last Monday so I am 9 days into my journey! Woop Woop! Things are going so well. I want to cry whenever I think about how far I've come. Its truly miraculous. I cant believe how much my body has improved in only 9 days!!! All of that heavy breathing???? GONE! All of that complaining and stopping???? GONE! I did my workout tonight and was able to do each interval for the entire amount of time. WOOP-WOOP! I did rest but it was not due to being tired....I rested because my legs hurt lol But I worked through the pain and it eventually went away! I am so proud of me and am soooo looking forward to the fit test that I shall be taking on Monday.

I said in the video that I would do a video for certain people....I wont call them out but their initials are LG and VW! LOL They comment on my facebook page about the "yucky" food that I eat. However I am TIRED beyond TIRED tonight so I shall...I promise I promise I promise....I shall do it tomorrow. My son also took pictures of me so that I can show off my new figure in roughly 51 days(wow!!! Only 51 days to go!!!) and can see a difference. I will post those tomorrow too. Oh well, here is my blog. I'm ready for my dinner---organic chicken thighs, brown rice and black beans. YUMMM! lol

Day 9 of insanity
Day 8 of FBD
