Up and At 'Em!

I feel like whenever I get a good start on things something always happens to pause the progress. I haven't worked out since Wednesday and I feel like a major bum! Thursday I had to go in for a cervical biopsy and I decided to leave that afternoon for a weekend get-a-way. Last week was beyond stressful with a broken down car and medical procedures.... This week I am back on it though! And I don't for see any reason I will have to press a personal pause button... Eye on the prize ladies and gentleman.... BRING'N IT!!

Commit Me To The Asylum!!!

Holy Guacamole! The Insanity Asylum is BY FAR the hardest thing I have EVER done in my life!!! I knew it was going to be crazy, but I don't think I prepared myself for just how crazy it would actually be... I'm hurtin' ya'll.... My legs, abs, arms, okay my entire body, HURTS!! In a good, I know I worked my ass off kind of way... But still.... I'm super scared to see how the next Asylum workout goes, but atleast today I get a small breather with some P90X! BRING IT!!

Boo Yeah!

I didn't realize how much I really missed P90X until my workout yesterday! I was pumping iron, push up'ing and pull-up'ing right there along with the gang! If you had told me back in January that P90X was easy I would have laughed in your face, and not that it's easy now, but after Insanity it was definitely much easier! :) It feels good to be sore from a workout in areas that haven't been sore since the first round of P90X!!! Anywho- today is the first workout attempt from Insanity: The Asylum... I am feeling pretty anxious about the Vertical Plyo because it looks extremely difficult in the videos I've seen... Nevertheless, I am going to bring it with everything in me! Doing my best and forgetting the rest! We good y’all? Haha!




Hooray For New Beginnings!!

Tomorrow starts the P90X/Asylum hybrid! I am toooooo excited! The schedule for the week will go as follows:

Monday – Chest & Back

                Ab Ripper X

Tuesday – Vertical Plyo

                Relief

Wednesday – Shoulders & Arms

                Ab Ripper X

Thursday – Yoga X

Friday – Legs & Back

                Relief

Saturday – Speed & Agility

                Ab Ripper X

Sunday – Rest Day

Enjoying my rest day today and then BRING'N IT on a new level tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!  

Confidence Is A Stain They Can't Wipe Off

Okay- I mentioned in my last post that Monday I was starting fresh with P90X round two! Well, I thought about it overnight and I've decided to do a hybrid mix of P90X and The Asylum.... I'm terrified of The Asylum from videos I've seen people post online, but if I can conquer it, then surely I'll have incredible results.... The main point here is that I don't want to stop.... I want to keep going! Not to reach some sort of personal perfection, but to be the best me I can be.... Healthy, in shape, and confident! I've always had a pretty good confidence level, but when the scale topped a new highs for me last year, I knew things had to change.... I don't want to go back there.... To that place where I hate how anything looks on me or fits me.... I want to say heck yes take my picture because I look damn good! Not, oh pleaseeee don't take my picture I look awful.... :) I know that I am still a work in progress, but man oh man have I come a long way! Have a great weekend everyone and BRING IT!!!

Running is a LOT more fun when it isn't 100 degrees outside! Ummm, hello it's June and we're already at 99 degree temperature highs?!? Yikes it's gonna be a hot summer! I am still very much looking forward to the sweat and Oprah's right that you get what you put into your workouts, running included... :) I have been in a serious debate with myself about new workout shoes since before I started Insanity 60 days ago. Do I need them, no.... Do I deserve them for dropping 18 pounds and working my butt off, heckkkk yes! I found myself doing most of the Insanity workouts barefoot because it was easier that way, so I've decided officially that the Vibrams are what I want to try... I need a good test run in them to make 100% sure, but I think they are something I would like despite their, eh, unique look.... LOL...

"Where There Is No Struggle, There Is No Strength."

Well tomorrow is supposed to be day 60 of Insanity! However, I've missed about a week and a half worth of workouts.... Between a wedding, work, classes, and two bum knees from a fall it just hasn't been in the cards for me to finish... On that note, I will take what I've learned from the program over the last 60 days and move on! I've decided that P90X is WAYYYYY more my style so I am very excited to start round 2 of it! I know I won't get burnt out, bored, or frustrated with it.... And that alone is promising enough for me! With that being said, I will likely do a hybrid mix of P90X weight workouts and Insanity cardio.... That's the plan anyway! :) This week I am going to stick to running.... I need the major stress relief it brings and then on Monday I will start fresh with the new routine.... MAN! It feels so good to be excited about working out again! I've been in such a rut these past few weeks! Look out Tony I'm coming back!!!! BRING IT!!!
