I slipped up!

So I did not blog last night I'm sorry! I was so tired I could barely function so I just went to sleep.

Insanity is like a drug, I woke up this morning really worn out so Stu ( my Beachbody coach and husband for those who don't know) advised me to not push my body to go back to bed for an hour. However, I felt guilty all day, I was going in withdrawal from Insanity. All I kept doing was trying to figure out how can I fit it into my schedule today. So far the workouts have been extremely hard and I'm pretty sure they are not going to get any easier but I love them!!!! My favorite being Pure Cardio.

No as far as the Challenge I started blogging about I am still going strong. I look forward to my daily assignment everyday. One of my big things right now is my push goal. The push goal is the goal that will have the most impact on your life and the rest of the goals on the list.

My push goal promise is : I promise to nail my job interview on Friday and land this big job ! This will help my family by providing financial support, medical benefits thus cause a more stress free living!

Good night all ! Big interview tomorrow!

Insanity Day 2

Insanity day 2 .......... INSANE!!!

5:45 am the alarm goes off, uggggg I don't want to get up , but I DID!!!! Yes, you heard me I did. I didn't press snooze, not even once. YAY me! I really had a rough time today. Today I started the day not feeling well (thanks to my husband) so I struggled to get motivated to workout. However, I knew if I did not do it in the morning there would be problems. First problem being I would take the chance of possibly breaking the habit I am trying to form and two there was no way in hell I was doing it later in the day. Come on let's be realistic I was going to do what I had to do and get back in my nice warm bed. So I dragged my big butt, downstairs to workout.

Insanity day 2 , to say insane is an understatement. Well let's see I started the DVD and went along to the ever so good looking Shaun T. I just keep following along really working up a sweat I might say, I was getting quite winded too......and then he says now that the warm up is done time to start. Are you kidding me?!?!?!?! WTF!!! All I kept thinking in the back of my mind is my daughter saying mommy I can't wait to go get new bikini's together for the beach this summer. In order to do that my big butt has to do a whole lot more sweating, a whole lot more Insanity though!

So bring on day 3 , I'm ready!!!!

Insanity Fit test done

Ok so I know it was only a fit test but it was hard! I'm not going to lie, I am out of shape but not for long. I am going to be one hot momma in a few months :)

I surprised myself today and was actually able to get out of bed the first time the alarm went off....no snooze button. I dragged my big butt downstairs and did my fit test. I am have a starting point and I can't wait to see how I progress over the next 62 days! I pushed my self so hard there were actually sweat puddles....I know ewwwww !
If that's from fit test can you imagine the actual workout. I don't know if I should be excited or scared ?!?!!?!?!

On a positive note, I had so much energy today it was riduculous. I don't know if it was from working out in the morning or if it was all just in my head but whatever it was I loved it!!!! By 9am I had done a load of laundry, showered, worked out, had breakfast with family ( we all ate) folded laundry, cleaned a very messy office spotless, dropped off kids at school..... I was busy!

Who needs speed when you can have INSANITY!!!!

Bring on day 2!

The cleanse

Today I did the Shakeology cleanse. I wanted to jump start my diet, lifestyle change by getting rid of all the "shit" that I have eaten lately. I thought it would be hard going from eating whatever I wanted and not counting calories to severely limiting my calories today. But surprisily I felt better today then I have in a long time. I had so much energy! I got so much cleaning done ( to the point I annoyed the family). I really can say I missed the feeling of shakeology gave me!


No day 2 of Chalene's Challenge: OMG!!!! Today was hard. I really had to think. I know , I know ....you smell the burning ! Yeah a lot of thought went into it but here is what is what I came up with.

Assignment:
List your top 3 priorities in life and really be specific why they mean something to you!

Day 2

My number one priority is my family. I have placed the greatest importance on this area in my life because without them I would be nothing. I will honor my number one priority by vowing to do my best to communicate better. I will try to stay calm when talking to them and not lose my cool. I will try not to name call as much. To honor my number my one priority I will limit my personal computer time and personal phone time with friends. In order to make these changes I will learn to trust my husband more and learn to communicate better with him therefore causing less friction in the house. I will be active in my kids life without emabarassing them. I will try to go to all school and sporting events and cheer as loud as I can.

My number two priority is spirtuality. I have placed a great importance on this because I find when I am one with god and myself I feel best and things for me and my family seem to fall into place. I just feel good overall! I will honor my number 2 priority by vowing to do my best and always be present when I am at synagogue whether it be for Friday night service or family education or even just for a meeting. I also will start having Shabbat every Friday at home again. My kids loved when we did this and so did I! I will no longer complain when I have to go to anything at synaguogue because that would go against my priority and what I am working for. I will limit our family plans to not be on Friday nights unless it has to be. I will start leaving Friday nights as family nights.

My number three priority is Friends. The reason I place great importance on this area on my life is everyone has family but you also need those close friends you can rely on and once you find them you have to cherish them. I will honor my priority by vowing to keep in contact with them, whether it be call them, text them or email them. I will always be 100% honest and always be there for them. I will not cancel plans if I don't have to anymore just because I want to lay around the house, I will cherish the time with friends if I have the chance. I will live my life according to my number three priority by reaching out to make plans atleast once every couple of months!




I hope some of you can either relate to where I am coming from or can just get a good laugh but either way please continue to come back and follow me on my journey to new year, new me!

New Year, New me!

As most people can see I am not very good at this whole blog thing. I am going to try really hard to change that, among many other things in my life. They say 21 days straight doing anything it becomes a habit, so I decided to start some new habits.

I decided to get my life in order. Yes I said my LIFE! I know pretty big , but I say go big or go home! I signed up for this challenge on facebook http://www.chalenejohnson.com/30daychallenge/ . I am so excited! Feel free to join me, if you think you can handle it :)I dare you!

I also decided to TAKE my health back. I am starting Insanity AND training for a 5K on Monday. Insanity is a 90 day intense program that i'm sure will kick my ass, but again....GO big or go home! My 5K is in April!

My only thing next to tackle this week to make this year really start off with a bang is nail my dream job!


Ok .....Day 1 of the challenge!
Assignment: Think about what is important to you! How do you want to be known as or remembered as.

Here is what I wrote :
