Day 6

I made it through my first week! YEAH!!!!!

Day 5

Again with the sweat dripping thing. yuck. Oh and every part of my body aches.....Ugh! One more day then I get a BREAK!!!!!

Day 4

Alright, so I know these posts are really boring, but, they make me feel better, and this is my blog, so I'm going to keep posting boring things. Today WAS easier. It was Yoga-like stuff, stretching, breathing, toning muscles. It was GREAT! I Loved, loved, LOVED it!!!!! And, I also found a way that I actually like protein shakes: Whey protein, half a cap full of vanilla, ice, and a cup of fruit. All blended up with 8oz. of water. Yum!

Day 3

.......I'm glad it's over. Supposedly the workout Tomorrow is supposed to be easier "the break" in the week so to speak.....we'll see.

Day 2

I have NEVER DRIPPED with SWEAT. Before. PHEW! That was good. It makes P90X look like weak sauce.

Day 1

...OK, so the fit test PROVED without a doubt that Cody and I are NOT fit in any way....But we are going to be....(I hope...).

INSANITY

WARNING: This post contains absolutely UN-flattering pictures of myself strictly for comparisons sake. (Before pictures now, and the After picture will come later...).

The INSANITY starts tomorrow. Lately I have been doing P90X and so far I have lost about 10 lbs. But I've hit a plateau. I wasn't doing it strictly the way it was intended I think. I just did the videos I liked. Cody has "borrowed" the Insanity work-out program from a friend at work so we start tomorrow. I will be posting pictures, and body measurements for me and Cody through out the next 60 days. Probably on the "Fit test" days. And hopefully I will blog everyday after my work-outs (we'll see how that actually ends up going...). It is really intense, I have watched a few of the videos and will probably be throwing up during more than most if the exercises. Which will lead many of you to ask "Why". Well here is your answer.

The other day Cody came home from one of his rotation to tell me about a woman who came in weighing more than 400lbs. He told me about the fungus that was growing in her rolls because she could keep them all clean, how she could barley walk around, and how she was type 2 diabetic. Now I am no where near that big, but I think about the plague that is obesity in our society, and not that I feel like I need to fit any mold, or be super skinny to be liked, but I want to play with my grand kids, and my great grand kids. I want to be able to do the things that I enjoy doing until I'm 6 feet under.

I know I'm not grossly over weight, but I have plenty of weight that needs to come off. Cody too. We have both gained 20+ lbs. since we got married, and well let me just say that it shows in our levels of energy. So here is to getting healthier.......Sorry for the pictures if you don't want to see me in my underwear, don't scroll down. :)

Any support you guys can give Cody and me will be greatly appreciated especially on the days that are the hardest.
