Wishing you well little friend!

So, wow! Today was a tough day! I can't believe I made it without breaking out in tears. I just got some bothersome news about someone I love very much (can't talk about it yet) but I am wired with worry!

I woke up at 4a.m. this morning and that thirst I had in my throat all day, ended up being a full blown sore throat. Along with a stuffy nose, a killer headache, and clogged up ears. So, I got up and took some of my cold medicine and was able to fall back to sleep. I then woke up close to 6am and I was drenched!!! And felt like c to the rap! I can't believe how many times I have been sick this winter! I seem to get something like once a week! Well, I am tired of it! I think it has to do with the type of heat we have at this house.... I don't know! I am as heathly as it gets. I don't take vitamins... cause I eat my vitamins with vegetables and fruit! I am starting to think I may need a cold air vaporizor and or some daily vitamins.

So I did not do the 30 day shred this morning, but I did manage to drug myself up enough to make my first "Cage Fitness" class! And I am glad I did. I struggled to get myself motivated, due to the pounding headache, but I loved it! I really did! I feel like I got a good workout in! And a lot of moves reminded me of Insanity! I posted an earlier feed from youtube of what cage fitnes is all about. Check it out! It is kinda long, but you get a pretty good idea what the class is all about! I did not sign up for anymore classes because Matt made me promise to not sign up for something new before I cancel something old hahaha! Plus Odin does Kung Fu right down the road, and I am going to check in to see if they do it or are thinking about it! Although, I think I would like to do this with my friend Tara who introduced me to this! Thanks Tara, You are awesome!

I have a feeling my body is going to be sore tomorrow! And I love it! I am crashing literaly as we speak so this muffin is off to bed! See you tomorrow!

My Birthday's over: Now let my 30s begin!

I got my work out in, as best as I could! Saturday, I think, is my favorite days to work out! I get it in when I choose, and I don't have to worry about time or pushing it too hard! But who does not love Saturdays?

Today, Matthew and I did Max Cardio Condition, and I did Insane Abs. The videos are from Insane Abs. Matt has a bad back, from being hit by a car when he was a child, so the moves in Insane abs are difficult for him! I was dead at the end. It is a good hour and 20 minutes with Shaun T and the Insanity crew. That is A LOT for this type of work out! I love it though!

Now I have to squeeze work in today or tomorrow (BOO) and I am meeting up with the whole fam at PC Pub for some of my favorite pizza at 6. And I want to take the kids GEOcaching today. I need more hours!!!!

I have to say, I went to see The Fighter last night at The Emmaus Theater with Mom, Dad, Tra and Jay and Matt. LOVED IT! Made me want to work out! Hahaha! I highly suggest it! Good movie. I did have to cover my eyes a few times because I hate seeing people getting punched.But a good movie!

I can't wait to decide what I am going to do after Insanity!!!! I need suggestions! I have less then two weeks left! I am really leaning towards P90X! But I wish the new Shaun T video would just come out all ready! Anyway, I don't know!

My next work out, I will be in my 30s!

I hope you all did not miss me too much! Last I bloged was Monday, and that was the last decent day I have had. Tuesday , I woke up with a pounding head ache! My alarm went off and I decided I would wait till after work to do the work out due to the fact every inch of my body hurt. Well, I did not get much better. I came home that night and went to bed! Woke up Wednesday, with about as much energy I needed to get Odin off to school, went back to bed and slept until 11:00. I basiclly laid up on the couch all day. This is the last time I will go without a flu shot! I was on antibiotics when I went for mine, and they said no way, Jose! I think I have had the flu all winter long!

Anyway, today I also woke up feeling terrible so I slept in and did my fit test at night! I did better than expected! I still feel crappy, but I pushed thru and did at least that part of the work out, which is no joke by the way! I know if I was feeling 100%, I would have had better numbers than I came up with, due to the fact it felt like even the blood in my toes was rushing up to the top of my head, and out my ears, every move I made. I feel as if tomorrow (my 30th bday) I will be able to wake up and manage thru insanity!


Result time:

Switch Kicks 85 103 110 135

Power Jacks 40 58 55 62

Power Knees 78 96 95 105

Power Jumps 24 35 38 45

Globe Jumps 10 13 13 13 (I think this is due to lack of coordination rather than power to do more)

Suicide Jumps 12 15 14 21

Push Up Jacks 12 21 25 30

Low Plank Oblique 18 23 39 37 ( I tried something new here, with a blanket under me, and realized that was dumb, and had to stop and get re set up)


So as you can see my fitness level is definately improving! I know I can do even better than that! I have only one more more Fit test to go and that is on the last day of the program!

Incase you wonder ,why the picture? it is my way of showing my excitement for The Avett Brothers(my fav), and my awesome boyfriend is taking me to see them in May in Pittsburgh and in Ohio!!! So excited!

Happy Presidents Day!

I am enjoying a very nice day off with Matt and Odin! Matt is off getting his head lights fixed. Thank the lord! They have not been working for a while now, making it impossible to drive at night! Odin did a bit of Insanity with me and helped shovel the driveway! He is such a good boy!

Today I did Max Cardio Conditioning and Insane Abs. Wow, my abs were burning!!!! Bad news though, I seemed to pull a muscle in my left side, groin area. So now I have a pulled muscle in my right butt cheek and on my left groin haha. Oh well, such is life. Today was the first day of Insane Abs. It was way way way way harder than Cardio abs and kind of long. It is over 30 minutes long! So you pair it with Cardio Max Conditioning, that is 49 mins , plus 30 mins of Insane Abs, and you got yourself an hour and 19 min INSANE work out! I am telling you INSANE. I really think I am in desperate need of a massage! My whole body is sore and I love it!

One problem with Month two is. I CAN'T STOP eating. I think I am working so hard that my body just wants to eat. I did not have a real good weekend with eating, but as soon as I get back to my routine, it will be all good! Tomorrow I have the Option to do Core Cardio and Balance, or Max Interval Sports training. I am using the special deluxe 13 package and that includes Insane Abs, and Max Interval Sports training. I am definitely doing the Sports Training. Shaun T is a former track start and trains professional athletes and this includes a lot of the moves he uses training them!! So needless to say I am excited to bring it up a notch.

I need to set a goal this week: Get up at 5:30 rather then 6:00. The dvds are getting longer and I don't like getting in the shower right after working out, I get over heated! So wish me luck tomorrow with a new dvd and getting up earlier!
