My babies promise!

Cardio Recovery! I am almost starting to dislike it, because I want to do more! Insanity!!! I made the comment this morning, that so far it is the only work out yet that I am able to wear my glasses. Its that easy!

Matthew joined me today, but has had the past few days off and is going out of town for the next five days. I warned him about the cowboy platters! I don't think he was listening.... His next work out is going to be the test!

I made it down to my sister's house today and spent some time with Jaxon! He is just too cute for any words to describe! I also picked up P90X and have been doing some research on hybrid Insanity and P90X work out schedules. I have not made up my mind what I am going to do. I want to finish Insanity the way the program is set out. What I think I am going to do, is finish Insanity all 63 days in the morning like I have been doing and maybe adding one or two days a week of P90X workouts when I feel like it, in the evening. Then when I am done with the 63 days either do a hybrid schedule or a full P90x workout. I am a cardio junkie so I will make my mind up when the day comes!

I picked up a 12 pack on my way home from my sisters, because I realized my week of no beer is long over! What have I been waiting for... I love cleaning my house and drinking an ice cold beer. I hate to admit it but I LOVE BEER!

I was a little disappointed today to find out that Odin's dad picked up smoking again. Just hope he keeps the second hand smoke away from my little one. I talked with Odin about smoking today and told him, Quiting was one of the hardest things I have ever done. It really was. I am very happy with my hard work and continue to live a healthy smoke free life! I told Odin, he is tooo NEVER smoke and if he ever gets caught, I will have him volunteer in a cancer ward. He said that he crosses his heart, Momma I will never smoke!

Check out the Boyertown Bears Gym shorts!

I slept for 12 plus hours last night. Odin came home from Kung Fu with a one of his major headaches and needed sleep. So he slept from 6pm till about 7 this morning and I joined him. I am pretty sure Odin gets migraines. And a lot too! I only get them a few times a year. I feel so bad because there is nothing I can do for him when he gets these head aches.

My workout this morning was AWESOME! I needed it to kick me square in the butt and it did. I pushed it to the limit! I did EVERY circuit faster and faster, and was able to dig deep! I had Thomas (Matt's oldest) as a cheerleader! He is a GREAT motivator. I only stopped like twice at the end with the In and Outs! If only he could be here at 6 in the morning every morning.

So I tracked and logged in my food calories. Here is the breakdown:

Calories: 1,169 Carbs: 123 Fat: 45 Protein: 48.

Humm I need more calories and less carbs. I get 100% of my carbs from fruit and veggies, which are low in calories but some are high in carbs. As a vegetarian, it is difficult for me to get 1200 (its sort of my fault too as its 11:30 and my calorie intake is ZERO for the day) calories and low carbs, but I will keep trying. I can't complain, I eat very healthy almost all the time! Which is why I get so frustrated with my weight.

So I am going to go eat a nice brunch, shower then who knows maybe take a walk in the snow!

What to do What to do???

A day full of tears!!!! I woke up and my scale had a very bad number on it! I was super upset!!! I cried my entire work out, and screamed a few times! My tears and sweat mixed into a nasty burning sensation. I am having a really hard time dealing with the fact no matter how hard you work at something, it does not matter. Life is gonna just give you what it has in store....

Then I tried to move on from that negative crap and then it was just one thing after another. Oh well. Such is life! I will deal. Well its the weekend and I have to decide if I should go into work and do what is needed or just say F U_K it all! I am thinking the later is the best.

New goals... for the fitness changelle, lose a whole freaking pound, and track all my food. My other non work goals, figure out what I want to do for a living because it does not consist of sitting in a cude.

Don't fix my smile, Life is long enough!

I am not sure if I can say I enjoyed my day off of Insanity yesterday. I did not get any sleep, so needless to say I did not get to sleep in. I felt lazy and fat all day. At work, I felt like I was stuffing my face all day and I was not... Weird. Then we had YET ANOTHER snow storm, so I had Odin's dad get him from his day care, and he stayed there for the night. So Matt and I had the house to ourself and all I could do is sit on my backside. I hated it. My ankles and knee hurt so bad. I took an ambien and ended up falling asleep on the couch and woke up at 5:30 in the morning feeling MUCH better!

So I got up excited for Pure Cardio!!! Matt had told me last night he was gonna shovel instead of work out so sure! I kick a$$ working out by myself. It was dark outside when I started. When I finished I was covered is sweat and peaked out the window thinking I should help Matt shovel. Our neighbor was out there with him with the snow blower, so I decided the best way I can help Matt was to get in the shower and start making our lunches. I got in the shower, did my thing, put some bread in the toaster and then I looked outside!!!! HOLY Sh_t we got over a foot of snow!!! I had no clue we got that much snow! Mother Nature has been a BEAST this winter and we have a good month and a half to go yet!!! NO MORE SNOW PLEASE!

Matt ended up taking the day off from work and taking care of car business and finished shoveling out the driveway. What a nice boyfriend right!!! He even went and got Odin down at my Mom's for me so I did not have to drive after dark (black ice!). I love him! Which also gave me some time and Energy to work out tonight. I hit up the Eliptical for 40 minutes, did some core and strength moves and also DANCED, like NO ONE was watching. Even though Odin was down there with me, he did not want to dance nor work out. I think he may be tired from playing in the snow all day with Elijah. He has been a BULL since the moment he walked in the door!

Tomorrow is a weigh in for work. I need to be 138.4!!! Wish me luck! I need it! I am pretty sure I need to go now before Odin has a nervous breakdown over brushing his teeth! See you tomorrow!

Kinda scared of a Ballerina!

I slept awful last night, moved out to the couch around 3:00, took some Advil and that helped, but in NO WAY was I ready to get up this morning when my alarm went off. I turned it off and laid there for about 8 mins and finally got out of bed (or out of couch). I woke Matt up saying... "If your working out, you got to get up this minute.... Not next minute this minute! " He did... although he said later that he absolutely did not want to, but he did. I love him for that.

Guess what, tomorrow is my day off of insanity! Meaning I am gonna be sleeping in an extra hour tomorrow! Oh yeah!!! Also,Thursday is the start of Week FOUR!!!! I am proud to say that I have only missed one day of work outs... and that was due to illness and not laziness! Yes you can say it, I rock... or you can call me INSANE, cause that would be a compliment!

This also means that I only have one more week of Phase one, or Month one! Then, it is a week of Recovery and Core and Balance . Then Max interval!! I am not gonna say much about that because I don't really know anything about it, only that it is claimed to be much harder than what I currently have been doing!

So I am off, putting Odin to bed, and watching Swan Lake and resting my ankles! (They hurt so bad)

Whinny ahead.... but can't wait to try out my new shoe laces!

I Don't feel so good! I am worn out! To the extreme. It is like before ten and I am dead tired!!!! All thanks to my hectic mother of a schedule. Tonight we had Kung Fu, volunteered at the animals in distress, then Basketball pictures to finally get home to our Carbon Monoxide alarm going off AGAIN! I don't know what is up with that! It REALLY bothers me!

Well we did our work out this morning and it kicked my hinny! This was the first day in the past three weeks where I just felt like puking, my ankles were killing me and I just could not dig deep. I ate absolutely like dog crap on Sunday and I am sure that was my price! I made it through though and I did not stop, but I know I can do better!

Tomorrow is Plyometric Cardio Circuit, which like I said is my favorite so I am stoked about that. But that is about all I have to say that is good for now. I am cranky and tired , and I feel terrible and tired! So I am going to bed before I accidentally flip out on an innocent like.... Matt!

Tomorrow is a new day. Also a day I don't have anywhere to go after work!!! Yeah! So Odin and I will hang out in our recently cleaned basement (Thank you bf!) work out, and do some laundry. And either watch No Ordinary Family together or Biggest Loser (Tuesday's are our Mother Son night sooooo popcorn will be involved!)

Goodnight Pennsylvania, Good night Illinois, Good night California! And Goodnight Idaho... better mood in the morning!

Don't eat local Ostrich!

I love cardio Recovery! It is a very much welcomed DVD in the set! Let me tell you, I very much need a recovery day when Sunday rolls around! It reminds me every week that my balance and flexibility stinks and I need to work on that! Maybe one of these days I will get around to starting a yoga routine to help with that. I think that is something Odin would like to do with me! I love working out with him!

So last night, Matthew you took me out to dinner at The Spinnerstown Inn. Awe it was the perfect night.... PERFECT! The dinner was just amazing! I had Red and White Ravioli ( I know I know No good for weight loss but who cares) and Matt had the Pecan Chicken. He wanted the Buffalo Ostrich plate, but I saw on the menu that they were local Ostrich and I said NO WAY JOSE... we could visit them. Then I started to think about wedding menus and we talked a bit about that. No ,we're not engaged but its still fun to plan a Pretend Wedding! I am such a loser:(

After dinner we rented a movie and picked up a bottle of wine (which we did not even open!)
We rented The Social Network. I was not a fan. I thought the guy was an annoying jerk. Well anyway... we put the music channel on and I danced to the 90's for a bit and hurt my ankle's because I was throwing Insanity moves into my dancing hahahahahaha!

Today, we are heading to my folks place to watch the Bears Kick the snot out of Green Bay. I hate Green Bay!!!! Right now I am having a hard time, getting in the shower because the Flyers are playing the Blackhawks (man I hope Philly kicks their teeth in)

Side note: Matthew just made me brunch!!! I have the best boyfriend in the whole wide world. I love him!!!!
