I HAVE A LOT ON MY MIND...

But, I am tired and have a headache so it is a post for another time. Tomorrow, for sure. I completed day 2 of Inanity today (yesterday I felt like death over easy so I didn't quite make the workout) and it was GRUELING to say the least. Anyway it's done and I feel both relieved and a little freaked out. I have 58 more days of this.

Things I need to write about tomorrow:
1. Emotional Eating
2. Emotional Working Out (which is WAY better for my whole 'get in shape schtick)
3. Digging Deeper (Anyone who has seen an Insanity workout or Infomercial knows what I mean)
4. Sticking to the plan
5. Soreness that makes me wince when I sit down (people give me strange looks)

Until tomorrow guys!

INSANITY- DAY 1 COMPLETED

Today's workout was a bit of a tragedy but it's done. It was great having Wes do it with me. Who, by the way, is thinking of doing Insanity with me three times a week. I'll take it!! I'm so happy I did it though. I need to take my measurements though I don't know if I'd post them here. Eh, what the hell. I'll post them soon. Until next time!

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!

THE BEFORE & AFTER OF OUR BEDROOM...

Which has been clean now for 2 days. YAY!

Before

I can't even begin to tell you what all of that crap is. Actually, I can. Ironing board, Perrier bottles, trash, papers and the biggest contributor to the mess...clothes, Clothes, CLOTHES!!! Anyway, it is completely clean now and the after pictures are faaaaantastic!

Now, let's hope we can keep it this way. I have been doing a pretty good job of hanging my clothes when I take them off, folding things, putting things back after I use them, etc. I'm working really hard to create good habits in this sixty days!

I'M BACK!!

So after a two day hiatus, countless hours of cleaning, too much homework, and eating 1/4 a cup of yogurtland, I AM BACK!! I've missed you guys!

This morning, I ate Special K Cereal for breakfast and I packed like 5 different protein bars for lunch though I am sure I won't want to eat any of them when the time comes. Eating healthy and sticking to it has proven much more difficult than I could have guessed and I have to say, this past week hasn't been a shining example of what I'd like the next 52 days to be like. I only worked out three times and my healthy eating suffered an almost fatal blow from an ahi tuna taco attack followed by a very unfortunate, yet extremely satisfying, run in with In & Out Burger!

Either way, it's a new week and I am ready to start clean. It seems like I do this whole starting over bit every couple days. This has to stop!

AND THE FINISHED PRODUCT...

I don't really know how I feel about the baskets yet, they may be taking a field trip back to Ross'. We'll see! I don't like how that period on Ross' is sticking out there like that! Hmph!

CLEANING MY BATHROOM JUST GOT REAL!!!

This is the most amazing bathroom cleaner I have ever used. I'm talking I sprayed it on and let it sit for about five minutes and when I started cleaning the soap scum just wiped right off. No scrubbing. No hardwork. No scolding my hands in hot water trying to get the grime out. None of that!! Well worth the $8.99.

Oh, and just in case you're having trouble seeing it, it's Scrubbing Bubbles Extend-A-CLean with an automatic spray gun for continuous spray. You can get yours from any local retailer and find out more information about their awesome bathroom stuff here!

Anyway, the tub is SPARKLING!!!

And look at this counter and mirror!

I.AM.THRILLED.

Wes keeps calling me a dork but I don't care. I don't mind cleaning when given the proper supplies!!
