Bye Bye Fast Food

Isnt that picture disgusting? Doesnt it make you just wanna puke? Well thats how I felt when I discovered what was actually in fast food. I was minding my business on facebook one day when I came across a site called FoodFacts-Whats actually in your food. While this is the day that saved me I often joke that I wish I would have just put my phone down. My curiosity got the best of me that day and I clicked like. My life has not been the same since. When I discovered what was actually IN alot of the fast food that ate I was sick to my stomach. I havent touched the stuff since.

I'm no different then most of you. I work 8 hours a day in a very stressful field and I have a 9 year old son who happens to be autistic. Sometimes the LAST thing that I want to do after working all day is come home and cook. Wendys, Chick Fila, Pollo Tropical and Burger King were staples in our household. Dunkin Donuts and McDonalds for breakfast were an every day occurence. Pizza on Mondays, wings on Wednesdays.....sometimes I went a full two weeks without ever touching my stove :/ I dont type those things with pride....I type them to show you just how reckless I was living. I cant take back the last year....I cant take back the damage that endless trips to various fast food restaurants have done to my body but I could change.

They say the worst thing that anyone could ever do is to quit a habit cold turkey. Its true lol I gave up fast food cold turkey. No more Burger King, no more Pizza Hut......no more Dunkin Donuts. Shoot! And I was just starting to get addicted to coffee again :) At first it was easy....I simply thought about everything that I had read on foodfacts.com and that knowledge alone was enough to turn me away. However it got to be a lil difficult when I started taking road trips and/or being away from home for long periods of times. Difficult but still doable. I am happy to announce that I have been without fast food for a month. I dont miss it. Yesterday a guy next to me was eating a Popeyes meal .... it smelled delicious and my mouth watered but when I thought about what exactly was IN that meal, my saliva quickly dried up lol

So I happily say, bye bye fast food! It was good while it lasted but like so many other unhealthy relationships in my life, ours has come to an end :)

Hello ..... its me, Kimberly

Its been a year since I last blogged on here. Its been a year since I even thought about working out. Its been a year since I was focused on becoming a "different me". What a year it has been? Emotionally, physically, professionally, and spiritually it has been a very difficult year. At one point I sat back, looked in the mirror and believe it or not, I didnt even recognize the person staring back. I gained ALL of my Insanity weight back and was almost pushing 200 lbs. I hated my job....I hated my career. And I was angry. Angry at the world and angry at myself and the bad thing is I have NO clue WHY I was so angry. I decided that I was going to do some things differently.....take a lil time to find me again and I have to say that I have been LOVING the journey.

So YES I am back to doing "a different me" but I'm doing it on MY terms. I've been doing it for a few weeks and I already see major differences. I cant wait to see the end results. Welcome back to my journey :)

Day 1 down, Day 2 down...88 days to go

I have not blogged in so long. I think the same vacation that I took towards exercising and eating right is the same vacation that I took towards blogging lol. I ended my 60 days of Insanity and literally went INSANE! I went on vacation and vowed that I would eat whatever I wanted, not exercise and just be free. I loved every minute of it and I didnt go as crazy as I thought I would. I only gained 2 lbs. Not bad, not bad at all. However I knew that once I returned from vacation that I would begin p90.

Honestly I was scared and really not looking forward to it. Why? Because Insanity totally turned me against any other beach body program. I flat out hated Insanity. I loved the results but hated the program. Prior to beginning p90 I watched all of the videos to see what I would be getting myself in to. It didnt seem too bad so I was ready to begin.

I did my first workout on Sunday and loved it. I woke up on Monday morning with so much energy. I had energy all day and literally could not sit still. I did the second workout yesterday and loved it. I woke up this morning and my legs were sore but my energy level is still pretty high.

So I have 88 days left.......................I cant wait to see how I'll look after my 90 days are up :0)

44 days down!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So tonight's post is brief. I finished my Insanity workout earlier. Lots of huffing and puffing. *rolls eyes* I had to work myself up and get a little motivation from those who were around me. There is always a bright light at the end of the tunnel and mine is that I only have 16 days of Insanity left. Woop Woop! I'm so happy. I can do this right????

No video tonight! Thanks for the support

Update.................Day 37

So today makes day 37 on the Challenge...hooray *insert sarcasm*

I am so sick and tired of this challenge LOL Not the spirituality part.....I'm loving that. I have found myself having hour long prayer sessions and when I'm done my eyes are beat red because I've been crying the entire time. I enjoy going to church and I enjoy overall, attempting to be a better person then the one that I was on the previous day. The lord has blessed me with so much within these past 37 days that its not even funny and even if I had a 1000 tongues I would not be able to say thank you enough.

BUT the physical part.....................in particular this damn Insanity workout program is getting on my last nerve. I'm sick and tired of it. I'm tired of the pain and while one would think that it wouldve gotten better since I am a month in, it hasnt. Its only gotten "different"

Once upon a time when I worked out my lower legs and calves would ache and ache, hurt and hurt. Well 37 days in, that no longer happens...the pain has moved up. My heels, lower legs and calves have adjusted and now my thighs are the ones that ache, hurt and that are sore. I guess that's a good thing considering my thighs are slimming down but dang it man! I'm just ready for the Insanity program to be over and done with. I have heard from several people, online and in person, that the p90 is easier so I look forward to starting that for 90 days. The one thing I will give Insanity props for this one thing....my body looks and feels a helluva lot better. :0

I have pics....I will post later....I'm exhausted and 300 is on so Leonidas gets allll of my attention

Thanks for your support
