35 & loving it!

I haven't posted in forever--but I'm still keeping up with Insanity. I did miss one day last week, when we come home from church to a broken washing machine! But other than that--so far so good.

As usual, I'm frustrated with the weight loss--seven pounds the first week, but nothing since then. But I did have a week long birthday celebration. However, I'm back to a strict Insanity diet--which is pretty easy to follow.

The kids LOVED one of the recipes tonight. Just noodles with shrimp and tomato sauce--it was huge hit. Barry added raisins to the steemed spinach and everyone asked for more. Yeah!

Finished my first week of Insanity (again;-)! Life is good. Getting ready to celebrate my birthday weekend-bittersweet!

I so have been faithful in eating and exercising--all week. Today I even forgot my lunch & snacks. But someone had fruit at work so that was my snack and I had a 300 calorie smoothie for lunch--so far so good. Then I came home and my husband, the devil wanted pizza. & it was sooooooooooo good!

After my demise I worked out to Pure Cardio and I decided it is my favorite thus far. I'm a cardio girl at heart, I don't really care for all this plyometric stuff.

I just finished my fourth workout! And better yet, I have been eating right too. I have spent more time in the kitchen the past few days than I have my entire married life. It takes time to prep all the food and pack a lunch and two snacks for both my husband and I--but it is so worth it. Was glad for only a 30 minute work out tonight, I was exhausted. Got up early to be at the DMV to get my DL and last night we had church and then I came home and worked out.

Speaking of the DMV...I mean really. I can't BELIEVE they charge us to wait in line for 2 hours? There were two people working---and don't I pay taxes? for what? cause surely the two people working can't draw that much money and then I have to pay an additonal $20, miss work and gas money so that I could drive to the least busiest DMV all the way in Fayette County! I wonder if they made Elvis wait....

I'm Baaaack!

Well after traveling like crazy (I'm not making this up, people.) There was Vegas, Chicago and Wisconsin Dells + sick kids in between--so after five weeks, I'm starting over again!!!

But, this time-I'm doing the elite nutrition plan with it and I start 5K training next week. But I can do it! I promise you that the eating plan takes way more time than working out. Working out is the easy part.

The good news is that Barry says he is going to do it with me--today was day one and he did eat with me! Yeah! 5 meals at 300 calories a piece & it costs a fortune too. Barry is drinking his sweet tea, but I'm hoping he still has fabulous results and will decrease over time! I bought him a Mississippi tumbler today, I told him he needs to drink three glasses a day! We shall see.

I need prayers--I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!!!! I need to see this through.
