RE-THINKING

So, after almost two full weeks of blogging something kind of important occurred to me. The initial idea for this blog came to me because I had never successfully completed Insanity. I suppose it is a memory I suppressed for two reasons. First: Insanity is an absolutely HORRIFIC workout. TERRIFYING! Second: My perms can't take that kind of sweat. Every night when I finish I look like a back up singer for the supremes or a Frederick Douglas doppleganger. It's not cute. Anyway, now that I've pulled this memory from the recesses of my mind, it occurs to me that it only makes sense to do it. I mean, really do it. Sixty days, six days a week, the most intense cardio of my life. After all, one of the main purposes of this entire project is to try to get in the best shape of my life, right? Right! So at the risk of my dignity, I am posting my before pictures and will update my pics every two weeks to mark my progress. I am embarking on what I know will be the most challenging eight weeks of my life and to be quite honest, I am petrified. Wes has promised to push me on the days I don't want to do it and be hard on me if I slack off which is exactly what I'm going to need to complete this. I have promised not to get angry with him when he pushes me and if I do, I promise to keep it to myself. As an added bonus, he has agreed to workout with me today which I am super excited about :) I'm trying to convince him to join me once a week. We'll see how this goes. Wish me luck!

P.S. Please don't judge my before pictures. It's the afters that count!



I told Wes after we took this that I wanted to re-take the first one cause I was making a weird face. He said, it doesn't matter, you're not trying to get your face in shape and then refused to take another picture! Gotta love him!

Please note that our bedroom is still clean and the bathroom is still spotless and I am proud!
