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

RIP

I'm going to share something with the world that few people know about me........in fact the only people who I believe actually know about this are my father and best friend. I have a serious problem with grieving. I dont grieve well at all!

I'm the type of person that you see at a funeral and you wonder "Well damn what's wrong with her? Is she going to cry? She's holding up really well" I remember my grandmother dying and my father encouraging me to let it go, to let it out, to cry! I couldn't. I sat for days, even attended the funeral, truly NOT believing that she was gone and boy once I realized it, my life was forever changed. NO ONE knows that...not my sisters, brothers, cousins, aunts, uncles, NO ONE!

I DO grieve, I just do not grieve well. Years have passed since my grandma has passed away and yet I'm still grieving. I cant bear to look at pictures of her. Looking at them instantly causes my eyes to water. I cant bear to even think of her or mention her name because doing so instantly causes my eyes to water. Even as I type this blog entry, I find myself having to wipe tears from my eyes. I dont want to think about the fact that she, a woman that I love so much, is no longer here...even if I know she's not.

This is not the direction that I set out to take when I sat down to write this entry but every burden needs to be released from a heart, every tear duct needs to be emptied, every soul needs peace so its gonna be what its gonna be.

The reason why I wrote this piece was to announce that I just signed up to walk in an epilepsy walk. I'm very excited but moreso I'm proud! I lost a relative last year and he himself suffered with seizures. I would like to think that by doing this I am remembering him. I grieve for him too and believe it or not his death was very hard on me. Its hard to lose a loved one....whether you're close to them or not. Its even harder to lose someone who is younger than you are. It totally puts your life into perspective.

So I look forward to the epilepsy walk........I hope that it not only strengthens me physically but mentally and spiritually as well.

9 lbs!

When I started this process 30 days ago I had hit my biggest....I weighed in at 200 lbs. My entire life I've said that as long as I was one-something I was fine but that I'd nearly faint if I ever reached 2. Well I reached it. I was shocked. Where the hell did all of this weight come from? But I am proud to say that I now weigh 191 lbs! I'm down 9 lbs!!!




Now I know some people *cough*HATERS*cough* lol are going to say that's it? But I wanna share a lesson on pounds that I've learned while on this challenge. 1 pound of body fat is equivalent to 4 sticks of butter. Think about that and go and vomit LOL I surely did! So the fact that I've lost 9 lbs which is equivalent to 36, count em 36 sticks of butter. 36 sticks of butter OFF of my body! I am so happy

I think that I appreciate these 9 lbs because I know that I've worked soooooooo hard to achieve it. I didnt take any pills! I didnt have surgery! I'm not knocking anyone who has done those things but I did this the old fashioned way....with hard work! And say what you wanna say but I'm proud of me! I still had cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory and etc and STILL lost 9 lbs! I have 30 days left and guess what..........I'm looking forward to losing 9 more! Woop Woop!

Thanks for all of your support
