Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

The INSANE ride came to an end after just a couple of weeks! Yep, I'm human, I can admit defeat...for now!  I was modifying so many moves I just didn't feel like I was getting enough of a good workout.  So today was Core Synergistics with Tony!  I love me some Tony...Dreya, I could do without! 

Excitement has been building for the whole last week with our Team Excel group!  This week alone I added about 10 new people to the group!  It's contagious!  So many people ready to become "the person who use to look "like that"..."  Positive attitudes will take you a long way!

Ask yourself if you really want to be successful; do you really want to achieve your goals? You are the only one holding you back. And you are the key to your success. The choice is yours. Create the stumbling blocks...or hurdle them. I'm here to help you HURDLE THEM!!!

Make today count!

Fit Test - last Thursday, July 7th.  If you've already done Insanity, remember back to when you took YOUR fit test! Remember after the last one, the lower plank oblique...Chris was CRAWLING to his paper to write on it...THAT WAS ME!!! Oh yeah, and Shaun said Chris is crying...THAT WAS ME!!! That fit test is a whole workout in itself!  8 moves for only 1 minute each???  Felt like an hour! I thought I did .... OK.... 

I decided to wait until Monday, July 11 to begin Day 1. Start of the work week start of a new program...the beginning on a new journey!  ... Plyo Cardio Circuit is the first workout in Insanity...you think he's trying to weed out the weinies from the winners right off the bat??? Well, this weinie made it 34 of the 42 or so minutes and proceeded to crawl to the bathtub where I gave great thought to just going right along with those suicides I'd just done OUT of the water! OMG!!! My hands were STILL shaking an hour later...I didn't know if my legs would even move me from my chair!!!

Tuesday, Day 2... I answered the call again this morning...yep, that Insanity call! You've always been warned about answering obscene phone calls, but there's just that hint of excitement too...wondering what might be at the other end of the call...you know me...I've just GOT to find out!  I was soaking wet from head to toe after that one!

Wednesday, Day 3 - Cardio Recovery....now that's my style!!! LOL What a wonderful surprise after Tuesday's beat down! :) Didn't even break a sweat....much!

Today - Thursday, Day 4 - HEY...I'm here! See me? Yeah, I survived Day 4 of insanity...but was sooo sweaty Bo didn't even want to give me a kiss! WHAT?? I'm working hard to make this body look good...and the boy wants to back away from a little sweat! LOL  Those suicides at the end...were KILLER (every pun intended!). 

Thanks coming along on this journey with me!

I've been with Beachbody for 4 years this next Monday!  WOW!  How my life has changed since 2007!  Fitness has become a new way of life for me!  No longer are McDonalds and Burger King drive thru meals a staple!  Do I have that type meal at all?  Yes, I do, McDonalds anyway.  About once every 3-4 months I'll have a craving flung on me that just won't quit, and I'll stop in and get something...only now it's a 4 piece chicken nugget Kids Meal as opposed to the ever faithful #1 Big Mac Meal, and super size that please! 

I love working out....SOME DAYS!!! Other times, I have to MAKE myself.  But ya know, I've found out that if I'll just get dressed and do the warm up, 9 times outta 10 I'm ready to give it my all!  And ALWAYS I feel better afterwards! 

Mine has been a journey of MANY ups and downs.  Since 2007, I've probably lost 60 pounds!!  The trouble is, it's always the same 15-20 that I always gain back!  You see, I would do a program for a couple of months, eat great, lose the weight, then fall back into my old eating patterns and not workout for a few months.  BAM!  The weight would be right back. I've traveled the spectrum from 170 down to 143 at my lowest and back and forth. Why does this happen? Because I didn't make the committment to a LIFESTYLE change, only to changing for the moment.

I commited to ChaLEAN Extreme's 90 days in February...ate clean, worked out hard and at day 90 I was down 14 pounds and 12 1/2 inches.  Back in clothes from last summer when I weighed 145.  Sometimes it's not about the number on the scale, but the inches that you lose! 

This week I've begun Insanity....that'll be a new blog entry!
