Still here! (jenn)

Good morning everyone! It has been way too long since I have been on here. I am now 7 months pregnant and enjoying every minute. I have been very good with my eating and working out. I am still doing my dvd's. not as often as I was before but I try and do them at least 2 to 3 times a week. I walk alot! We went to Disney and we did nothing but WALK, Run and Walk...was worth every pain to see the kids enjoy themselves. Now we are back to reality and school, work and house-keeping,
Weight wise I think i have been doing really good, at 30 weeks I have only gain 20 pounds, give or take a pound or two all scales are different. I have been trying to eat good things but sometime my body wants something crispy and I have to have some Cheetos's or something, but then I tend to have the baked version. I am also obsessed with honey Crisp Apples. We went to an apple orchard and spent $60 on Apples.....they are soooooo good, jonagold were also just as good and if we get back there in time I want to get more of the Golds.....I am pretty sure that everyone knows that I am having a boy and he is beating my insides up. He wakes me up sometimes kicking b/c he doesn't like the way i  am laying. B thinks it is funny watching me get up from the couch at the end of the day. The due date is Jan 15 and my schedule C is the 11th. I don't think he is going to stay in that long. Some days I feel that he is ready to come out now....But NOOOOOOOOOO too early. I will take the week after Christmas.....not before..
I really miss running and after talking to my doctor he said about 4 weeks after the baby is born I can start a slow training session with walking and slow running. As long as I feel up to it of course. I am sooooo happy b/c I hate being restricted. I am asking for a membership to LA Fit for Christmas. So that i can do some spinning classes too.  I am trying not to stress about everything but it is kinda of hard sometimes when you can't sleep and all you do is think. I have to get a bag ready for both  me and the girls in case I do go ahead of time. I also have to get the baby a little snow outfit for the car seat and a coming home outfit. And then on top of getting everything ready for the baby I have Christmas shopping too. Which I think from the looks of it lots of Online shopping this year.  Well off to do some homework with Abby and Marissa and then some cleaning up. Hopefully I will remember to keep writing on here since I was soooooo bad and it took me 3 months.....

Here I AM!!!!! (jenn)

OK 4 months....that is how far long I am which is kinda scarey for me b/c I only have another 5 to get myslef ready for a new baby! That is really crazy! Right now I have to get stuff for School and Abby's Birhtday party which we are having at the pool....very easy and it is what she wants! The past couple days have been conplete torture for me b/c I pulled my back and I was/am in sooo much pain and can't do anything about it! I have no clue how I did it but it F@#*in' HURTS! it seems when I wake up it is ok still a little sore but not to bad then as the morning progresses it hurts more. Yesterday I did a lot and I think that might be why it is still hurting! Today I am going to sit and do nothing...well not nothing I have wash to do! BUT it is driving me crazy b/c with how nice it was the past two days in the morning I can't go out and walk! I can't do my dvds! It freaking sucks! So all I am going to do is sit and rest my hip/back.
This weekend is the Duatholon(sp) that I was supose to be training for! Kelly is still doing it and b/c of the slimly little creep who does the scheduling at B work I can't go down with her! I am upset about that B/c I wanted to go and be there with her!
On a little lighter not I had an ultrasound on monday and the tech was so funny......first thing is that she loves her job which makes going in for a vag ultrasound a lot more comforty....The baby was moving all over the place kicking and punching! and so then she asked the question...Do you want to know what it is? SURE.....now i know it is early and it can be wrong but she sounded pretty sure of the gender! As she says" now if you go buy stuff just keep the reciepts b/c it is still early....BUT it definitly looks like a scrotom sack......" I was like WHAT!!! OMG my husband is going to be so happy. then she asked what i had at home and I said two girls and the tech got so excited for me! It really made me feel good! So B wants to make sure it stays a boy so in 2 weeks I have another ultrasound and we will know AGAIN!
So off I got to SIT(blah) I hate being injured!

What I miss!! (jenn)

Well with this freaking 100 degree weather I have not been outside that much! I for One HATE the humidity.....although some people think this is beautiful weather I am wsihing for snow!
So I went walking this morning before anyone else got up that is the only way I get out by myself!
I have still been working out with my dvd's. But I like being outdoors. I am enjoying my pregnancy so far. But I feel like a cow b/c my belly is soooo big, But there are some things i miss and I know most people are going to say beer....But to tell you the truth I don't miss it at all. I never think about it or even want it....What I do miss is my workouts...I miss the insanity workouts, I Miss running, I miss having a race coming up to prepare for, I miss my workout partner.......I am looking forward to signing up for The broad street and only having 3 months to prepare. I am looking forward to signing up for the mud runs and warrior dash and only have 4 to 5 moths to train for that! Lets just say that this little nugget is going to LOVE their jogging stroller! When I get one! I am still researching them to see what ones are the best for street running.
But I really do miss all of those things which makes me  a little on the crazy side! But come January as soon as I get the OK from the doctors I am back to running....going to really push myself b/c I will be almost starting from the beginning and train for 10 miles in 3 months this is going to be my motivation to do it! And I want to do the 10 miles in under 1 hours 50 mins.....beat my time from this year!
So I will be checking in as much as I remember too!

Aerodynamic.....(kelly)

So I've got myself signed up for this duatholon and I'm trying to get myself together in the next 3 wks.  I went out and got aerobars for my road bike....nothing fancy. For those who don't ride aerobars make you more aerodynamic on the bike...they bring your arms in real close which in turn makes you faster and every little bit helps.  Putting them on was an adventure and trying them out was fun....felt like riding a bike for the first time.  The bars make your handling of the bike less steady so it takes some getting use to and that's what I'll be doing this week along with running.  I'm hoping my biking/running goes better this week.....

Mine are similar to this.....

sorry for the delay...now back to your regularly scheduled program....(kelly)

Okay so I've been MIA partly because I've been really busy at work but also because I've taken 2wks off from intense workouts - I've still been riding but wasn't doing the tapes.   I was getting frustrated with the lack of results....I know you need to eat right as well but as hard as I was working out everyday should have seen something...anyway....

Only my list of things to do this year was a Duatholon so I bit the bullet and signed up for the SheRox's Tri and Du - atholon on Aug 7th.   So now all my efforts are going towards being able to run and ride.   The race consists of a 2 mile run, then a 15.5 mile bike ride, then a 5k to finish.   Now I know I can do the events separately but putting them all together is the challenge.  So far I've been able to do the run and ride but when I get off the bike I don't feel like I can run again.  

My training next week will be biking then running since this week I did run then ride.  Hopefully next week will go better......

80( (jenn)

Well this weekend was not a good weekend for me working out wise....I walked Thursday and Friday(even ran a Little Friday) and then Saturday spent the day in shock after learning My next door neighbor was killed in a robbery! He was the nicest guy you could have as a neighbor! And then Sunday Talk to his wife and daughter and spent the rest of the day in shock again! I had to tell the girls today and it was so hard! Abby is such a sweet heart, she asked why Mr M had to go to heaven and I said that a bad man was very mean to him and made him die. I didn't really know what else to tell her. The only other deaths she had to deal with was my cousin little boy, but she doesn't remember that that much, my mom's neighbors dog and my grandfather(her great). she then proceeded to tell me that, "it really really stinks that Mr M had to go to heaven, I am going to think of some good joke to tell Mrs M to make her happy!" I lost it! She is always wanting to make everyone happy! Marissa then asked me why the bad man make Mr M die.....what do you say to that?! I just told her I didn't know only that he was a very bad man who is going to go to jail for a very long time when they get him! You don't want to know what i really wanted to say! LOL!
So then My night got better! LOL! Marissa started a little puzzle with me which I will say was a little hard for a 3 year old, I got up to check on my sauce and she torn apart what I already did on the puzzle....I was mad, so I started it again got up to finish the pasta for dinner and then ABBY goes and pulls it apart!!! UGH! I gave up and put it away.....Then out of the mouths of babes....Rocky is standing in the kitchen and marissa is looking at him, from behind him...she says...."Mommy Rocky is pooping!" I turn around and was like...no he isn't... she says"Yes he is he has black poop coming out his butt!" I look i said no he isn't....SHe then asked "what is hanging from his butt that is black?" I look I start cracking up....it was his balls....LOL!!!! So I had to explain to her that he is a boy dog and like boys, dogs have birds too! LMAO!!!!! That made my night and helped me feel a little better!  I gotta love my kids!!!
Well I am off to finish the movie and put the kids to bed so I can get some sleep! Up bright and early for a workout tomorrow go tot get back on track! Happy 4th everyone!

Still trucking along! (jenn)

Well it seems that I am the only one still trucking along here. Kelly just signed up for the She-Rox Duathion(sp). She she will be running and biking a lot. I am still watching what I am eating not doing weight watchers but taking what I know from there and applying it to my diet. Some people think I am starving myself but I eat all day long! And I would never starve myself when I am suppose to be eating a little more then normal. I feel like I eat all day. But I eat good things, fruits, pretezels, salad and I do eat stuff I am not suppose to...LOL! Like krimpets...had a craving for them LOL!
I feel like the past 3 months has been 3 months of emotional ups and downs. Cravings like I never had before, stuff shells, soft pretzels and cheese, tacos, and newest one so far is Doritos....I will be having a SMALL bag of them today! LOL!
SO I took my girls on my walk with me yesterday and let me just tell you that I have the laziest kids in the world...the first half of the park...Abby"my legs hurt, I am soooo tired i need to sit on the bench" Marissa"Wait up guys, MOMMMMMYYYYYY Wait for me" OMG! How did these kids get so lazy! I told them that we are walking the park a couple times a week! No more of my kids being lazy! Now I am not a sports type person and neither is Abby...we might have a swimmer with Abby but I think that will be all. Marissa i can see being more into sports then Abby, she has a little bit more coordination! LOL! But I love to be outdoors and walking/running/ even hiking! I was so upset! So today they are eating breakfast and we are going for a walk again....1.7 miles is not a lot to ask two kids to walk! At least I don't think so! Well I am off to beat the girls into finishing their breakfast and then to walk!
Have a great weekend!
Pain is the fear leaving your body, Fear=fat!

Love hate relationship(jenn)

Today is the first day I have attempted to run in a month and a half. and lets just say that I missed it...but I still hate it! I know that doesn't make any sense but that is how it is! I am not allowed to run like I used to...(let see how many people read my blog)....My OB Doctor told me to take my pace slower since I am 3 months prego! So Since I haven't ran in a while I walked and ran....I took my time and didn't push myself to hard and didn't do any up hills....I made all my walking up hill and all my running downhill or flat!
Now since I spilled the beans a week early....this will explain why I haven't been on here that much because I don't like to lie about working out! I am NOT allowed to do the insanity workouts..BOO! B/c i miss them! But i did get two other workout DVD's that I am doing...the picture next to this is one of them. The other one is with Summer Sanders she is some Olympic swimmer. I like them both a lot but I like Erin's personality better. So I have been doing both of them and alternating days with them. And when my husband is home I will be running in the morning instead. I love being outdoors and we are at the pool a lot but I am not a swimmer. So I can't just start swimming now...I am also not allowed to ride my bike...80(......So Kelly got a little mad at me b/c I won't be able to do the Duathalon with her in July. I was a little upset too, but I am realizing that I am a sick human being b/c I am looking forward to pushing myself next year after the baby is born and preparing myself for the warrior dash and more mud runs!!! This is why I am keeping in shape during this pregnancy so it won't be so hard to lose the weight afterwards. Erin's workout also has a postnatal workout for after wards which I am looking forward to doing! I am going to have a c-section so i won't be able to fully workout right away but as soon as I get the green light....INSANITY I AM GOING TO KICK YOUR BUTT!!! I really did enjoy those workouts and as long as YOU EAT RIGHT(GIRLS, you know who I am talking too) you will see am improvement. I was seeing an improvement in everything but my belly...but them I realized that there was a reason for that and it wasn't going to go away! But what i think is awesome is that it is just all baby belly, it isn't fat and I actually have lines on the sides that I think may be some ab muscles!!!! BUT I popped out so fast this time! WOW! I will post a picture in about a week! Sunday I will officially be 12 weeks....and I hope that being tired all the time will go away and also the nausea....these two things have been killing me the past couple months!
So my entries will be about working out and growing a baby all at the same time....80)
Pain is the fear leaving your body, Fear=fat

Still here! (jenn)

So who said summeris supose to be relaxing! I feel like I do more running around then I do during school time! UGH! So Tired!
So anyway I am still working out and all I have to say is Warrior dash here I come next year! I am doing push ups now like a mad women! Well for me who couldn't even do a push up...I think i am doing pretty good! I can do at least 10 of them. Which from August of last year when I did my first boot camp( google Bucks county boot camp, it was awesome and got me start on all this crazy running and working out) I couldn't even do one or run a half mile....now I can do ten push ups and ten miles.....I actually had a thought about pushing myself to do another 3.5 miles.....on top of the ten...then I was like!! NAHHHHH that is just crazy talk! LOL! Well who knows what the next couple months will bring I know I am not upping my mileage until next year....I will continue to workout with my dvd's and got to get my butt back out to run! Once my husband stops working some overtime( which is awesome b/c we could use to money since we want to move) I will get my but back out there to run.....I really really miss it! I must be crazy!
Off to do some weeding and then off to the pool!
Pain is the fear leaving your body, Fear=fat!

sooo tired.....(kelly)

So I think I'm going to take a week off from Insanity...I just don't feel up to it this week. I did my fit test on Monday and I rode Monday night and I tried to finish the max interval last night but I just wasn't into it and my legs were soooo tires - not sore just tired.  I don't know if it's the eating change or my body is just tired.  I'm going to try and do a tape tonight but if I don't I'm ok with that...i just want to not feel so tired.

Anyway here is my log from yesterday

I hate headaches!!! (jenn)

SO I have had a headache everyday for the past week and it is getting old!!! I pushed myself through my workout this morning and then wanted to collapse! I definitely think it is my sinuses. What else could give me this unbelievable pressure in my head! The only thing that seems to help is if I lay down and close my eyes or caffeine! I can't lay down all day b/c I have to care and play with my girls! So I am stuck with caffeine which i was trying to stay away from drinking a lot of it for my diet! So I limited myself to about 20ozs a day and I have to stretch that all out for the whole day!!! UGH! I am also spitting out nice green and yellow mucus! I know I know TMI! But i had to tell someone! LOL!
Went and saw hangover 2 last night and have to say it was similar to the first in the way the story went but still just as funny! I will be having a new song on my ring tone i am sure once I figure out how to do all that! LOL! Well off to shop a little and drop the girls at my dads and then work! Have a great day everyone!
Pain is the fear leaving your body, fear=fat!!

Counting.....and is there a Long John Silvers on this island?(Kelly)

So yesterday was my first day of writing down everything I eat and counting my points.  I also did the Fit Test yesterday and am happy to say I moved up or stayed the same in all the exercises.  I wasn't able to get the 1st full day of phase 2 in because I went for a 20 mile bike ride last night and then went to see the Hangover 2 (great movie).

It's been a while! (jenn)

SO I am sorry for the long time of posting...i had a crazy two weeks. Since my grandfather past away I have been running and running and running.....and I wish it was actual running.....We just had so many things to do that I ran myself into the ground and got myself sick. I even took off work!! I KNOW for me that is bad!
So here i am back to the grind and working out again. I missed it I really did! I also miss running. I never thought I would miss it but I see people running and I am like....Dam that could be me! B is working this week so I am not going to be able to run till Wednesday when he gets home. I was going to go to the pool today but it says that we might get rain. So I think I am going to go and pick up paperwork for Preschool and then hit the mall and if it is still nice out I will take the girls to everyone playground( i love that place).
And maybe even make these little monkeys walk the trail with me!
I am very  proud of Kelly and how she posted her weight on the blog! It goes to show that she is really serious about eating better! I think we have finally figured it out that....You can't do one without the other! I was eating healthy and didn't workout that much b/cI was sick and I know I stayed the same! I didn't measure my self yet but that will come in a couple weeks.
Stacey who got on here ONE time....she is starting the first part of the insanity workouts over b/c she feels that she wants to get better at that then move on to the next phase!  I said as long as she is still working out and she is also doing WW! Yeah for all of us! I pat us all on the back for realizing that we need to workout AND eat right! LOL! It will come to you at some point and when it does you will say to yourself...MAn I was stupid!!
Pain is the fear leaving your body, Fear=Fat!

Phase 2 - - Diet and Exercise....(Kelly)

Well it seems you can't have your cake and eat it too....so as phase 2 of Insanity starts I'm working on my diet....I'm going with what I know and that's WW.  It really does work and its a good program - I'm going to try the new points program so that means instead of 20 pts a day I have 29pts -which works out to the same because all the food went up in pts.  So it's 1200 calories give or take a day.... Yesterday I had Jenn measure me and I was not happy....a few little changes but not enough for as much as I have been busting my ass for over 30 days....so the diet needs to change.   This morning I got up and did my Fit Test which was good and tonight I will do Max Interval which is an hour long (didn't have time before work this morning).  

Oh and I got a battery for my scale so I weighed myself ....ahhhhh...here it is since I won't be going to WW meetings - I'll make everyone here my judge and jury..... 151- - - that's right.....every week I'll list the new number good or bad til I get where I want to be which is between 135 and 140....that is a good healthy active weight for me.  The food journey begins.

have a good day....

Friday, Friday, Friday!!!! (Kelly)

TGIF!!!!!!  It's been a loooonnnnngggg week.  So I switched my workouts to nights this week because I've wanted to sleep in til 6am - woohoo!!! I gotta say mornings are much better...it really does set your day.  It's been a struggle to workout at night because I get home from work and I just want to relax but I've still done the recovery tape everyday this week.  A few more days to go then it's on to phase 2....I gotta get Jenn to measure me this weekend to see if there are any physical differences.   I can tell you this I do feel stronger and it has translated into me being a faster bike rider with more endurance but I'm not sure about bodywise.   It is SOOOO true that you have to exercise and DIET!!! I suck at that last part...I like to feel like I can eat whatever I want....but I know I won't see the same results if I don't eat better.  That doesn't mean I have to deny myself and starve myself but I can be making better choices.  Work just kills me because that's where I snack and let others influence my lunch decisions.  My goal is to start phase 2 with the new workouts and a better eating plan.  I'm going to start my food journal on Monday so hopefully I'll post it on here.

Well gotta go shower and get ready for work.... have a great day.

Pain = Fear   (so there must be a lot of fear in my shoulders because those 2 1/2 min shoulder burner exercises in recovery week are a killer)

I'm baaaaccccckkkkk.....(Kelly)

Sorry for the absence but I've been sick.  It started last Tuesday and really isn't completely gone yet but i'm much better.  So since I was sick I took a few days off from Insanity because I didn't have the energy to do it - - so over the weekend I had a couple double workout days which were just so much fun.  I was able to catch up minus one day of Core Cardio which is this week's recovery dvd.   So I did that dvd last night and let me tell you recovery week is not as recovery as i thought or would like it to be.    Shaun T talks softly and says to go slow but the workouts are each a minute long ( you might be thinking a minute isn't that bad - i challenge you to do the workouts for 1 min and let me know) - - there are rests in between and you aren't going as fast as you usually do but let me tell you - it's still a workout!!!   I was sweating and my legs and shoulders were killing me (the shoulder drills are killer).  

Anyway I survived and now have this dvd to do all week before I move into phase 2 - I'm not going to lie I'm a little scared of phase 2.  

I also have to get my tape measure off Jenn so I can see if there were any improvements in these 4 wks.

have a great day!!!

Sick...(Kelly)

As Jenn said I'm sick....so I haven't been doing anything but lay around.  I couldn't workout Tuesday night because I felt horrible so I just laid and tried to sleep.   As any of you that have bad sinuses know you can't breathe so you can't sleep.  I stayed home from work yesterday and probably should have today because I still don't feel good.  But I know how my sinuses work and I just have to soldier threw it.   I did do a workout yesterday and before anyone says you're crazy or that was dumb - - it actually made my sinsues feel better all be it only for a brief time.   

If anyone out there has sinusitus they know that chaning temps and just getting up and moving from one room to the next can clear your clogged sinus up even if it's just for 5 minutes.  So I move around alot when my sinuses act up and I stick tissues up my nose and all kids of sprays and i sniff hot sauce....you name it I do it.  So working out took my mind off my clogged sinus and  gave me a good half hour of relief. 

I'm trying to get as much done as I can today at work so maybe I can leave early.  I know my co-workers probably hate me for coming in because I sound and look like crap and I'm sneezing and blowing my nose so they think I'm going to get them sick. But sinusitus is not contageous so everyone else will be fine except for me.  Nothing like having a cold in 100 degree weather.

Hope everyone has a better day than me....

Didn't Quit! (JENN)

Sorry for a few readers if Kelly and I were not on here the past two days! Kelly has been sick. I think she is working too hard. I think she needs to be a stay at home mom for Molsen and then she won't run herself into the ground! LOL!
I had a bunch of things going on the past two days and also my grandfather past away yesterday so I was a little busy there!
But we are still going strong...still sticking to our workouts and trying to do our best. One more week and we will move onto the next step in the workouts!
OK gotta a lot to do today! Off I go!
Pain is fear leaving your body, pain=fat!

Day 22.... I think there is something mentally wrong with me...(Kelly)

So it's 10 pm at night and those of you that know me know I"m usually in bed or asleep on the couch well not tonight because I'm an idiot.  I didn't workout this morning because I had what I believe might have been a mirgrane this morning.  My head hurt so bad that I thought I was going to throw up...no tylenol or pain aids would take it away.  It took everything in me just to get up and go to work.  I made it in and since I usually ride my bike Monday or Tuesdays I figured I would be riding later....it's the last nice day of the week so I couldn't pass it up.  Went for a 21 mile bike ride on the VF trail...it's a nice ride...flat and fast....actually really fast today...was doing about 23 mph for some of it and finish 21 miles in 1:10 minutes - not to shabby.  The only problem with that is I still had Pure cardio and cardio abs to do ---ahhhh!!! Usually I have that done in the morning and 12 hours later when I ride it's not so bad.

UMMMM>>.....don't ride 21 miles then do an hour of intense cardio...JESUS!!!  I know I could have just skipped it and made up for it on my rest day but I just couldn't do it...I wanted to stick to this plan no matter what so I came home, ate, rested, then did the workouts.  I will say I toned down pure cardio...I didn't go as hard as i usually do because I didn't want to end up passed out.  Well now I'm done in more ways than one so its off to a quick shower and bed so i can get up and do it all over again.  =)

pain = fear!

I lost count of days...20something....(jenn)

Since I have a case of Insomnia i don't sleep much these days. Not to mention that Marissa has been having dreams that wake her up so I take her out of her room and put her in my bed with B is on night work so she doesn't wake Abby up. So then I am awake and can't fall back to sleep. I usually wake up at 6 to do my workouts. But today Abby got up at 6 and I had to lay with her to get her to go back to sleep. I myself fell back to sleep till 7. So I managed to do the pure cardio warm up and stretch an then had to pause it so I could get the girls up and ready for school take her to school and then convince Marissa to let me finish my workout then I would play with her!
And it worked out very well. I gave her a snack and her number and letter cards and while I was working out she read her letters and numbers to me. And the bonus was she didn't laugh at me this time! LOL!
About pure cardio, I know Kelly has said that Tanya is annoying and she is perfect but today I noticed something very important.....in fact two thing....it seems like she never stops and is the perfect student...well today I noticed that it took her a couple time to start up an excerise while everyone already started and doing the push up jacks you can see her feet(b/c I am always looking at the sneakers to see what people are wearing) and she stops doing them....WHOOOOO HOOOOOO !!!!! See kelly she is not perfect!
I am very proud of Stacey who hasn't been on b/c she has school and a 3 year old to care for, she has stuck to this and I keep checking in on her to make sure she is doing the workouts! She is now going to quit smoking which I know she can do b/c she is awesome!!!
Well now I am STARVING So off to eat some egg for my protein!
Pain is the fear leaving your body, Pain=fat.......

Plyo! (Jenn)Day 20 and 21

And this is why I get up before anyone else to do my workout! I was sooo tried yesterday from  moving crap and not sleeping the night before that i crashed at 10pm and then Marissa was having bad dreams so I put her in my bed so she wouldn't wake Abby up....I slept good from maybe 330 till 710 when Abby woke me up! So I got up and did a couple things around the house then got my workout ready....then Marissa woke up, so I had to pause the warm up and get them breakfast, then Rocky had to poop and almost pooped in the house so I had to pause it again and let him out. Then the girls wanted a snack...so I had to pause it again! It took me at least an hour and 10 minutes to finish the workout which is only 41 mins long.
Then as I am working out Marissa is laughing at me! And then Abby decides to workout with me and do some jabs and uppercuts and then stretching....she gave up after she couldn't get her lung right! LOL!
Well at least I got the workout done! But never again! I will suck it up and wake up early. Now I have to go get ready for work!

Day 20 & 21....and almost done Stat. class....thank god (kelly)

Switched my workout rest day from today to yesterday because Jenn had a yard sale so I went over to help and get rid of some of my stuff.  So I figured moving furniture and boxes in the morning and loading what was left back up was a good little workout.  Did my plyo today and i'm feeling a little wheezy but I think that because of this weather. My allergies have been bothering me all weekend. 
Anyway...
I only have 2 wks left of my spring courses before summer courses start - lucky me....this sememster I had Stat which anyone of you that had Stat knows it is HARD!!! Jesus - this class is killing me....i've never cried so much over a class. I just don't get it - I'm just trying to get through it....don't even care if i understand it just want to get the work in.  I don't know why as an adult when you go back to school you have to take classes that have nothing to do with your degree or what you want to do. I understand when you are 18 and just starting college it's good to get a taste of everything and get more worldly with your studies but at 33 I'm okay on that. 

Well off to finish some more work for Stat class (did I mention this is an online class so basically I've taught myself 10 chapters of Stat in 10 wks...).

Have a great Sunday

Day 19 - I HATE Tanya!!!!!! (kelly)

Okay so I feel like writing down all these days is like a diary of me being shipwrecked on an island and this is my way of keeping the days together and myself sane - so bare with me .....   Anway I'm really starting to hate Tanya on the DVD's.  She's in all of them and she is just that perfect girl - the one Shaun always goes to to show you form or how great and hard she is working.  Of course she also has a 6 pack and an awesome body which is really the reason I hate her - JEALOUSY!!!!!   I know that she obviously works out and she probably eats a clean diet and also i like to think shes got some good genes that help her out.  But doesn't matter....I can't stand her...!!! She is my nemesis and I have to beat her...!!!!!!  Of course that means eating a clean diet and let's be honest that's not going to happen. I know I can eat better but to eat totally clean well that's just not something I'm interested in....I want to enjoy somethings.

Anway it's Friday and I'm looking forward to getting out of work and enjoying the day.

Pain = Fear!!!

Day 19?!?(jenn)

I am going by Kelly's count b/c I lost count on the days! Today was Cardio power and Resistance! Even with it being 57 degrees out and my fan was on and windows open I still sweat! I am still a little frustrated but I am trying to not let this get in my way. I know this is the fat me in my head saying"This isn't working just stop and get your book and sit and read before the kids have to get up" Well I am no longer listening to  the fat me anymore! I am listening to my thighs jiggle when I workout! If I just keep concentrating on that, I will be good!
Kelly and I were talking last night that someone should make a workout video, like this insanity but the people in the video should be overweight people like us. People of all shapes and sizes. And every time you put the workout in they are on the same day as you are and you will be seeing the people lose the weight like you are!! Does that make sense? Of course you need to have at least two in shape people to make sure you have the right form and everything. But that would make me feel better seeing someone like me star out and follow them along the workouts!!! And if they are getting results then so should I!! We always have these great ideas. I think I am going to call Shaun T and see what he thinks. I think alot of people would buy them!
Well off to get the kids up for school!!!
pain is the fear leaving your body, Pain=fat!
Have a great day everyone!

What day is today!?!? (Jenn)

SO today was recovery and I am feeling the same as Kelly....Almost like I am getting bored! I am so looking forward to the next interval of workouts and I am hoping that I won't get bored with them. BUT I am going to keep pushing on and on and on and on.........I want to see results. I am eating healthy and doing these workouts but feel like I need to be doing something else....like maybe a little nip and tuck..LOL! I can't do that, not that I wouldn't but I can't right now! Don't get me wrong I really do like the workouts and enjoy doing them but I guess we are just hitting a little bit of boredom....
Well I am going to keep on going until someone tells me to stop. I almost like I should be seeing more results. I know I won't look like the in shape total toned 0% body fat people on the dvd but I would like to be seeing a little bit more of a result in my thighs. Who knows I may measure myself and then see that i lost an 1/2 inch or something....that would be Awesome!
Well off to the garden and do some volunteer work for school! at least it doesn't seem so hot out today!
Pain is the fear leaving your body, Pain=fat!

Day 18 - I'm losing steam....(kelly)

I love these workouts I really do but I'm losing steam...I'm not giving up I'm just ready for the new tapes which will be in 3wks. One more wk of these tapes then a week of recovery then the 2nd half of the workout.  I gotta believe I'm getting stronger and I hope that when I measure myself again in a week I see some improvement - - not looking for dramatic infommercial results just something I can see.

Anway it's a beautiful day out today so try and get out and enjoy.

Pure WHAT?!?!?! (Jenn)

HOly Hell it is hot outside and even though my air is on I was still sweating bullets.....OMG! That has to be the worst workout out of the first 30 days!
I have to say though it is getting a little easier then the first time! Not much but a little easier!
Well I figure I would write a little something! I am in the middle of getting all the stuff ready for my yard sale on Saturday! Looking to get rid of  A LOT of kids toys! Most of the things have all the pieces and are very well kept! I will have some other stuff that I need to get rid of but it will mostly be kids things! Can't wait!
Well not time to sit!
Pain is the fear leaving your body, Pain=fear!
Have a great day!

Day 17 abs and cardio......when will i look like those girls in the workout? (Kelly)

Well I did a late workout for me today ...started at 6:30am....I had jury duty today but I called and they don't need me so now I have to go to work.  I was kinda looking forward to sitting and just reading a new book I got but oh well.  Done pure cardio and cardio abs which isn't too bad - its not easy but it doesn't kill you.  The thing I hate about doing abs is staring at my belly.....i do the workout in just shorts and a sports bra b/c i'm in my house and you get really sweaty so i don't wear a tshirt - well when you don't wear a t-shirt you get to see your whole belly hang out.  I think that eating naked is a good thing - i read somewhere that you should do that because you won't eat as much.   When I do planks i look down and just see belly....ewwww....i know this is because i don't have a clean diet or a strong core but i'm working on it.  I know I'll never have a clean diet for 6 pack abs and you know what??? I'm okay with that because I love some foods that I'm just not willing to give up.   Some people are born with good genes and a 6 pack is not that hard to obtain (they still work at it) but that's not me and I'm okay with it I just want a flatter stomach.   So I'm going to start to need to work on my diet.  Cut back here and there and make smarter choices.

I want to see my results and I feel like my legs are stronger and I can see that so now i want to see my stomach look better and that's going to come with better eating.  Little changes here and there and hopfully I'll start seeing a difference there too.

Oh well gotta get ready for work....have a great day - stay cool!

Day 16....I'm getting confused...(Kelly)

The days are starting to run together...Plyo again....still sweating.  I haven't measured or anything yet I'm waiting till the end of the first 30days....I tell you with all this sweating and cardio I better see some difference.  I know that i do feel better now if I could just eat better..... oh well sometimes you can't do it all.


Stay cool.....going for a bike ride tonight - lots of water!!

What the HELL was I thinking?!?! Day 15&16! Jenn

Good Morning everyone! I would like to say about the only thing I can move right now on my body is my finger b/c I am an idiot! So I went to the mountains this weekend and it was lots of fun but I had to come back to work on Sunday so I felt like I missed out on everything with the kids. But no one would work for me so I had to go in! Monday we came home and spent the day outside gardening b/c it needed to be done so bad! We filled the little pool up for the girls and then went to town and I feel so much better b/c it looks nice again.All we have to do is get some mulch and I need to get some more flowers for my hummingbird garden! Only two out of the 6 survived. So yesterday was suppose to be the fit test but I didn't get around to doing it b/c I fell asleep at 9pm....(and this is why I am an idiot)....SOOOOOOO I did the fit test this morning...ANNNNNDDD did the plyometric cardio this morning too!!! WTH was I thinking...Oh I know! I wasn;t!
My advice to anyone who is going to do the insanity workouts....don't do two in one day! So this is the 3rd week we have 5 more weeks to go....OMG it seems so far away. I am very happy with my result of my fit test though. And in 2 weeks I am down 5 pounds.....which I like b/c i am going slow in my weight loss and i want it to stay slow so it stays off.
So here are the results.....
Switch Kicks 80 to 105
Power Jacks 40 to 47
Power Knees 62 to 87
power jumps 24 to 31
Globe jumps 4 to 7
Suicide Jumps 10 to 12
Push-up Jacks 4 to 8(now these I don't do on the floor b/c of my wrist I do on my table but still an improvement)
Low Plank Oblique 22 to 35
I think I increased pretty damm good for only 2 full weeks!
Well off to limp my way to the shower and get Abby ready for school!
Have a Great day everyone!

Hike, Rest, Fit Test - Day13, 14, &15 (Kelly)

Happy Memorial Day!!!  So it's Monday and I have to say its been a nice long weekend.  Sat started out with Pure cardio and cardio abs followed by a hike at Ricketts Glen state park.
 It was a 2hr trip with the dog (Molson) up past Wilkes Barre PA.  I highly recommend going there if you get a chance - it's worth the ride if you enjoy nature and waterfalls and lots of walking.   It was a perfect day for it....it wasn't too hot up there and there are lots of trees so you aren't in the direct sun.  Since Molson isn't a very active dog we didn't want to go to far but we wanted to see some of the waterfalls so we did a shorter hike.  The full waterfall trail is 7.2 miles of difficult hiking - there are some really narrow trails and climbing down rocks that are wet so we didn't want to do the whole thing with the dog  but you can take one of the many other trails - some lead to the falls and some don't.  We were able to see about 4 falls which are beautiful.  Along the way we saw some other waterways and some cool rock formations.  I think Molson did better than Mike on the hike.  We hiked about 5 miles and 2 1/2 hrs with stopping along the way to take pics. We were sweaty and muddy but we had fun.

Yesterday (Sunday) was a rest day and thats what I did workout wise - just rested which was nice.  I had a ton of homework to do because i waited to the last minute but other than that we just rested.  Sometimes you just need a lazy hazy sunday and that's what i got.

Today was the fit test again from day 1 and I went up in all the exercises which is great - still sweating my ass off.  So now it's time to clean and finish up homework.

Enjoy your holiday!!!!

Day 12 and 13.....the saga continues....(Kelly)

Sorry didn't get a chance to blog yesterday because I was too busy at work trying to get stuff done. Yesterday was back to plyo cardio and I'm not getting sore anymore which is a good thing but i'm still sweating like crazy.   Today was the first time for two workouts - pure cardio which i just LOVE (along with me dripping in sweat that statement is dripping in sarcasm)and then cardio abs.  I found cardio abs on youtube because for some reason it didn't tape over but anyway it was only 16 minutes which is like a mini workout so that was good.  It was hard but not ridiculous so I didn't mind it too much.  

Well gotta go shower and get ready to go hiking at Ricketts Glen.  Taking the dog so this 2 1/2 hr ride should be fun......hopefully we'll get a lot of nice pics of all the different waterfalls.  I'll put some up later.

Have a great Saturday

Pain = fear

Day 13?! Pure HELL Again!

I am thinking this is day 13....the end of two weeks. I forgot to weigh myself this morning so I will have to do it on Tuesday! Maybe add another 3 pounds to my loss! I would love that! I definitely feel better when I am working out! Although I don't know why but my feet hurt when I do pure Cardio! I need to get sneakers I know that much so I have been wearing my running sneakers b/c they have a little better support then my old ones. We are suppose to do cardio abs but that one didn't copy on the dvd so i am going to use my moms laptop and look it up on You tube. Kelly found it on there!
Two weeks has gone by and I have 6 more to go! Wish me luck..not much going on for today but spending time with my family! Hope everyone has a great weekend where ever you are! Off to shower and get this sweat off me!
Pain is the fear leaving your body, pain=fat!!

Day 12(Jenn)

As much as I LOVE recovery I think it hinders my Friday workout!Either that or I am just so out of shape that I suck! LOL!  Today was cardio power and Resistance and as much as I love these workout this one was very hard for me today! Let me start from the beginning at 5am when the f'in birds are so LOUD that they woke me up then i had an allergy attack that last about 45 mins of sneezing,blowing my nose and not being able to breathe! So being up that early and not be able to go to sleep while I had my attack I folded some laundry and then did my workout!  So now that my attack was over I could hardly breathe though the whole workout! Which pisses me off b/c I don't like having to alter my workout! Once I am in a groove I can' stop. they keep saying go at your own pace so that is what I did.
I know some people who never workout before are afraid to try new things, I am here to say...DO IT! You don't have to look like the people on TV to do the workout. All those people are instructor or have been doing workouts forever! It can get intimidating but just look at those skinny bitches and think..."I can look like that" That is what is motivating me, I find that one person who is closest to my body type and think that is me...when I am at my goal that is going to be me and then that make me work a little harder! You can lose anything by working out...other then FAT! And so far after the first week I have lost 3 pounds of Fat. Weigh on Saturday morning before I workout and hoping for another 3.....keep your fingers crossed!
I also want to say how proud I am of Kelly and Stacey on sticking with the workout with me! You girls are awesome! Keep up the good work and we will look like the people on the dvds....<3
Pain is the fear leaving your body, Fear=fat!

Recovery oh how i love you....Day 11 (Kelly)

Thank God for recovery this morning...I needed some good stretches and today was going to be and did turn out to be a long day at work (as you can tell by my late post time).  Actually I'm still at work - - waiting for reports to run - oh what fun. Not as tired today as I have been the past week but probably because I've been running around all day at work - i don't have time to be tired. 
On top of it I have homework to do for Business Law and Stat classes that I haven't even started for the week.  Tonight is a good as time as any I guess but I'm such a procrastinator......it's just hard sometimes to come home from looking at a computer screen all day and numbers to then sit back down and do it again for homework.  My eyes need a break.....!!!
Not sure what's going on for the holiday weekend ...waiting on some invites to hot dogs and hamburgers somewhere...i'm partied out at my house. =)

Have a good night!!!

pain = fear

AHHHHH Recovery! (jenn)

I LOVE RECOVERY! I almost didn't want to get up and do the workout but then I thought...wait it is Thursday which is Cardio Recovery!! And even though it is a recovery I still sweat a little. But I do like this one b/c it is a lot of stretches and poses. Even though i am not a pilates or yoga, doing this little recovery is nice! Which was even nicer is that i had a little partner with me the last 10  mins. Abby woke up and wanted to workout with me. And all she kept saying is "wow this is easy" I said "tomorrow I will wake you up for the Cardio Power and resistance" And of course she has no idea what I am talking about.LOL!
Tomorrow is yet another long day, we go to the school garden and work in there. What I would love to do is have a little recess feildtrip and get some kids to my back yard to weed that! LOL! I don't think the school would go for that!
Since my 7 year old is standing here talking away to me about school and lunch and everything else in the world I better go get her ready for school!
Pain is the fear leaving the body, Pain=fat!

Day 10.....(jenn)

Day 10 was Plyometric Cardio! Which if you ask me sounds like something fun and slow and steady! Well it isn't!I know I have done this last week but I felt like I did it just yesterday! I liked it  alot but still felt like I just did it! It kicked my butt today. I pushed myself just a little bit harder then last week! I sweat ed out about a gallon of water! These workouts are freaking Insane! LOL! What I do like and I am sure I have said this before but even the people on the dvd can't finish some of the workouts. And they are all in SHAPE! Like model shape, with 6 packs and everything! So it makes me feel better that this workout is going to kick anyone ass no matter what kind of shape you are in!
i was going to blog this morning but I have my nephew today and we went to Target after we dropped Abby off at school! I got them this cool sprinkler...The only thing is that I couldn't get the hose on tight enough so it wasn't as powerful as I wanted it to be! But they still had fun, and I think the grass was a little too long b/c the bottom squirters were stuck. LOL! I am going to take it up the mountains and let them play with it up there if it is nice!
Well we water played and gardened and ate lunch. Now time to get ready to pick Abby up...right after I do some more laundry! Have a great day everyone!
Pain is the fear leaving your body, Pain=fat!

Day 10 - - Put a fork in me I'm done (today's workout that is - Kelly)

Well today was day 10 and it's still hard but getting better. The workouts are starting to meld together but I feel like I'm getting stronger - - now if i could just stop stuffing my face perhaps I could see more of a difference.  I suck at eating...I don't eat because I'm hunger I eat because I eat!  I know my problem - I eat way to fast so that I'm still wanting more when I'm done then when I am done I feel like whoa....i ate to much.  Still gotta work on that.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's workout because it's cardio recovery and I just LOVE the word recovery!!!! 

It was a beautiful day yesterday even though it was very warm and look like it should be another nice day....can't wait for the weekend.

Day 9 - - - I love cardio so much....(Kelly)

Well it was pure cardio day again and let me just tell you how much i LOVE pure cardio.....it's a minute long of each cardio exercise with no breaks.   One thing I do love about these dvds is that even though they are hard they make you stretch after your warmup which is good because I'm good for turning off the dvd at the end and skipping the stretch - with this you can't because you haven't even begun the real workout and by the end you really want that stretch again because you need it.  I don't turn off the dvd on this one because you go from high intensity at the end right into the stretch and as anyone will tell you you don't want to go from high intensity to just stopping so the stretch is a great cool down. 

So being that I'm crazy I went for a 20 mile bike ride yesterday after work.  It was actually nice b/c it was suppose to rain (and it did) so nobody was on the trail - - I was muddy by the end , you would have thought I went mountain biking but it was a good ride.  My quads were sore while riding but its a good way to workout and stretch your muscles - besides I like cycling.

Today my plan is to just go home after work - maybe a walk but i think it will be the couch for me tonight.

Have a great day - and stay cool it's going up to 86!!!!

Pain = Fear

Day 9 pure Helll again! (jenn)

ugh!!!! Pure cardio=pure hell. I forgot that this workout doesn't have 30 second recovery. It is a 10 mins warm up which should just be the workout then a VERY nice 6 min stretch and then 20 mins of pure hell. Although I feel like I can do a little bit more this week then last, so I am thinking that is a good thing. I am hoping that at the end of the 60 days I will be able to do all the workouts without stopping at all and doing it faster!
As I sit here and sweat(nasty) all I smell is cupcakes...LOL! I do have to get out there and run one of these days! I haven't ran in about 2 weeks and I miss it! I am heading to the mountains this weekend so Sunday i am going to take a nice run in the morning. I will be running with my dad's gun b/c there are bears up there and it will be a holiday weekend so they will be scouting out the trash bins....Maybe I will see one. I have never seen one up there yet, Everyone else has but me. I will take my camera with me and maybe the bear will let me take his picture.LOL!
Well my calves are throbbing right now and begging for me to feed them some protein....Have a great sunshiny day!
Pain is the fear leaving the body. Pain=Fat!<3

Day 8 - - - where is the GD SUN!!!! (Kelly)

So today was a new week and it wasn't as bad soreness wise as last week. Workout is still as intense as ever and it's still hard and I was still sweating like crazy but my body isn't so sore that I feel like I just want to fall over.  So that's a good thing.   Sunday was a rest day which was well needed and I think deserved....especially after a long but extremely fun Sat. night.

Back to the grind of work... have a great day!

Day 8....I hate you Shaun T!!!!(jenn)

So Sunday was a day off which was well deserved, if you ask me! And this morning the alarm went off and i hit the bed next to me and no one was there! I was like WTH B got up and left the alarm on...then I realized it was for me! So i hit snooze! I lay in bed thinking......"if i sleep for a couple more minutes I will be OK" and then my eyes are wide open and all I think about if those 30 seconds.....So I get up and get ready. This was the same workout as Last Wednesday and for the life of me I couldn't remember what it was like I just remembered it had the 30 seconds of water breaks. What I didn't remember was all the push up and triceps they did. And for everyone who know me I have bad hands and wrist. So I modified my push up to doing them so my feet on on the ground but my hand I put on my coffee table. And you still get a workout but the pain in my wrist are not so bad. So I am doing this wonderful workout and I think....yep still insane! I mean WTF were we thinking! Why do we just jump into these things....then I remember, It is  Me and kelly and that is what we do! We jump into these things without thinking! But to be honest I am having fun and I like having a routine!
On another note I hope the sun comes outs today! I want to be able to get out in my garden and plant my plants I bought in my gardens! This rain has got to stop! I am feeling like we will have to start building an ark soon! Well happy monday everyone! Hope you all have a good day! I am going to go eat some protien and get my girls up for school!
Pain is the fear leaving your body. Pain=fat!

Day 6 back to Plyo (Kelly)

So today is day 6 of Insanity and its a repeat of day 2 - still just as hard and I've learned i HATE basketball drills!!!!!!! I actually had to wiped off my face because sweat was dripping in my eyes and I have a fan on high on me.....

I see the sun today , lets see how long that lasts - hopefully all day.  I was about to start building my ark. 

Today is the day of the girls night out party and I can't wait to get it started.  Have some last minute furniture moving and cleaning to do plus I have to pick up some food.  Its 7:30 so I need to get started.

Have a great day!!!

Pain = Fear 

Day 6...not so bad(jenn)

So it is Saturday and I don't have to wake up for anything and what time am I up?!?! You got it 6:02 by my clock which is 10  mins fast!  SO i figured why not get up and get my cardio workout done! This workout today was the same as day 2. And I remember day two being HORRIBLE!! well today wasn't as bad. I guess my body is getting used to the idea of waking up and being tortured every morning! LOL!
Today I have to get my house cleaned up and by house i mean play room! That thing is such a mess. My kids can destroy that room in 30 seconds flat!
Then it is off to Kellys to help her with the rest of the party crap for our ladies night out! Can't wait going to be lots of fun!
Have a great weekend!
Pain is the Fear leaving your body! Pain=Fat!

WHERE IS MY 30 SECONDS!?????(jenn)

Holy Crap! The warm up it self was about 10 mins long with no break and then you got a 5 min stretch which was nice but then you go right into freaking 25 or so mins of straight up hard core freaking cardio! Without 30 seconds of a rest. I know that he says all the time go at your own pace and take a break when you need to, but when everyone else is on the TV and doing it and doing it faster then you it makes you want to do it like them! LOL! At least for me it does. What i do like about these videos is that all the people on them are all ripped and in shape. They are all sweating and taking breaks and you can see them in pain from the workout. so that makes me feel better b/c I am no where near in shape like that!!
i would like to be doing this without having a cold and sleeping through the night though! I know my husband says(joking) "suck it up women" and i am trying to I really am. I have been coughing like an 3 pack a day smoker and still working out! I am hoping that all the sweating I am doing is gong to sweat the sick right out of me!
This is day 5 and I feel good!! only 55 more days to go and then we will either start this over or get a new workout! I was on the website yesterday with Stacey and we were checking out all the different workouts that may look fun....and yes I said "workouts" and "fun" in all the same sentence!
I do have to say that I am very proud of my Stacey!! She is hanging in there! She is also trying to quit smoking which is I think is awesome! I am going to keep pushing her and nagging her only b/c I love her and will be doing in in a nice way!80) I know she wants to do this and all she needs is some support!
 Pain is fear leaving the body. The fear= fat
Have a great day everyone!

Day 5 Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs (Kelly) - no 30 secs =(

So today is day 5 of Insanity and after the nice recovery workout yesterday I was feeling pretty good.  Should have knows that with the title Pure Cardio that it was going to be HARD!!!  Its never a good sign when the instructor says during the stretching that he's afraid of the workout.  It was a long 20 mins of non-stop cardio .... and when i say non-stop I mean NON-STOP for 20 mins!!!!!!!!!!  Thats a long time to go all out.  Made it through and took some breaks - its good to see the people on the dvd take breaks too (makes me feel better).   Now Jenn wrote on the calendar she made for me that today was just Pure Cardio but the DVD says Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs - so I didn't know if I was suppose to do both or just one ( you can pick either or on the menu) so I text Jenn but it's only 7 am so either she's still asleep or shes in hell doing pure cardio right now.  I was going to try and see what the Abs look like but my dvd doesn't have it. It must not have taped right so I checked my other DVDS that have 2 workouts (2 more ) and they aren't on there either.  I guess they didnt dup right....I'll have to beat Jenn up later =)

Anyway today is a busy day for us....getting ready for our Girls Night Out party tomorrow so Jenn and I will be running around all day getting stuff, making food, and cleaning.  So much for a day off , right?  That's okay I'd rather being doing this anyway.

Have a great day!
Pain = Fear

HELLO!!!!

HI EVERYONE
 My name is Stacey and I am very excited to join Kelly and Jenn in their blog. About me.....I am 27... have a 3 year old daughter, Aubrey. Within the last year I have noticed some changes in myself slowly starting to take place. I decided I wanted better for me to so I can give my baby better. What's good for goose is good for the gander, right? First I started at CCP. GO ME!!!! Next up is starting to workout, which is what brings me here. From previous posts all you cool readers know that Jenn, Kelly and I are doing the INSANITY workout. This sh*t is just that----INSANE.
I am not the one for working out- I'd rather read. BUT I AM TRYING. My fitness level is very low so it's an achievement when I can get through one of these dvds. Yesterday was day 3--- I could barely get through the warm up, which Kelly mentioned it's like a hard work out. Later on in the day(and after a push from Jenn) I finished the rest because I wasn't going to let that round shiny disc or what was on it- beat me.
When I first saw INSANITY, I though to myself "GO HARD OR GO HOME" Well that's what I have decided to do. I have no doubt that Jenn and Kelly will finish this entire workout. I have doubts about myself but am doing this to prove to myself (and to them)  that I WILL.

When I was in cosmetology school, there was a teacher named Ms. Joanne. When someone would tell Ms. Joanne that you CAN"T do something.....Her response was always-----"CAN'T means you WON'T and YOU WILL"
10 years later and that is still stuck in my head....so I'm gonna go do my workout for today :)

DAY 4;Cardio Recovery (jenn)

Well I definitely thought that Cardio Recovery was a trick title! It wasn't YEAH!!!! It was all stretching and lots of yoga poses! Don't get me wrong it was a little hard b/c I have no balance and it makes you work your muscles. I was sweating. But there was no INSANE cardio! What was hard was the length of time you would have to hold a pose. Lets say holding  a squat for at least a minute is a little tough when you muscles are sore already.
I thought it was going to be a hard thing for me to wake up early and do a DVD b/c all the other time i woke up i had to drive somewhere to workout and I would kinda prepare myself for the workout. Now I just wake up and workout! And I can say that I actually look forward to it! Kelly is already looking at another DVD by this instructor for after the 60 days! Yes I know we are INSANE! LOL!
I didn't sleep good last night b/c I was coughing like a 99 year old women who smokes 3 packs a day! Thank you Marissa. I am feeling a little better today but my coughing is killing me! I even took cough medicine last night and it did nothing. i hate having to cough. Well Lets see what today brings.
One thing I have to say I am happy about is my eating. I am a stress eater like i said before. I should be 300 pounds with the stress i feel sometimes. But I have been eating really good this week! Like last night i was very proud of myself. We had spaghetti and meatballs and garlic bread for dinner. this is one of my favorite meals! I would normally eat 2 meatball 1 sausage and at least 2 helpings of pasta and 2 pieces of bread....I KNOW...300 pounds!!! So last night I had 1 helping of pasta, 1 meatball and 1 piece of bread!!!! I wanted more but told myself that i wasn't working out and do all this hard work just to eat what I want and stay the same weight.  So today is another day that I am going to DO GOOD!!! Lots of protein to rebuild my muscles and as always lots of water!
Have a great day everyone!!!

Day 4 Cardio Recovery - -- ahhhhh......(Kelly)

Disclaimer - if anyone is thinking of getting this workout please note that it is not for someone who hasn't worked out in a while.  This workout is HARD.  I know me and Jenn say we are lazy and haven't worked out in awhile and while that's true it's true for our fitness level. We aren't completely lazy and we still run and do other stuff so while this workout is a challenge for us it's not too much. 

On to day 4 - cardio recovery - my new fav!  It was a slow workout and much needed.  It was more of a stretching workout today although not easy but not fast paced like the other workouts.  I still was sweating and I couldn't do all the moves as long as they did on the dvd but it was much easier then the past 3 days.  I enjoyed the stretching because I'm not very flexible and I needed it!!!  I slapped a bunch of bengay on my legs last night which ended up being too much becuase my legs were burning and then freezing because of the menthol in it.  I was exhausted yesterday - I took a nap at lunch and wanted to go right to sleep when I got home. I pretty much sat like a zombie on my couch.  Getting up at 5am is hard when you are not use to it. I use to be okay with it last summer from doing boot camps but I got out of practice.  Hopefully next week will be easier.

PAIN! (JENN)

All I have to say is Thanks to my friend from HS, TIGER Balm is AWESOME!!!
Don't have this particular container but have the patches with the lotion already on it and they are wonderful!!!!! Have them on my claves and it feels GOOOOODDD!!!
Off to sleep! ^am comes early to bust my ass.....INSANE!!!

Sweet Lord in Heaven!!! (jenn)

DAY 3 this workout is just that!! Freaking Insane! I feel like crap anyway b/c my loving little girl definitely gave me her cold! SO when I got up this morning I didn't want to do anything but craw back into bed! BUT I pushed myself b/cI know that Kelly and Stacey are counting on me to do this with them!
The warm up itself was hard and I wanted to die and then he gives you these most wonderful 30 seconds to get a drink or water and cool down till he goes into something else and kills you again! I love those 30 seconds!! LOL! I treasure them like no other seconds! LOL! Everyone was still sleeping when I was done so I turned on Netflix and watched a 40min show(that is my little reward to myself after i workout) and stretched some more! then I got a shower and then soaked my poor little calves in Epsom salt! OMG!!! this stuff is the most amazing stuff every! I fill the tub just enough to cover my legs with water so hot i should have blisters and some salt! Then I sit and soak. It will not take away all the aches and pains but it relaxes and HELPS alot! I totally recommend it for anyone who is working out! my calves should be so much tighter then they are but they are just a little sore and I think tonight I will soak again!
Once I got abby off to school I took Marissa, rocky and my nephew Chris to Lortimer(sp) park and we did a 1 1/2 mile hike! And my legs still feel good!  I am feeling good about these workouts. I still want to get a yoga dvd for Me and Abby to do, does anyone have any suggestions? I was looking at the two i posted above! Let me know if anyone heard of them and what they think!
Off to make lunch for the little monkeys!!
Pain is fear leaving the body. The fear= fat(thank you Stacey for that!)

Oh yeah everyone you will being seeing my friend Stacey who was the most awesomeness( I know not a word) person who copied the dvd's for us! She is also doing them and asked if she could blog with us! So you will see a post from her!!! Welcome Stacey ANN!!!!!!
Tomorrow Cardio Recovery....I have a feeling that it won't be as easy as I am thinking!!

Day 3 - - can your legs seize up? (Kelly)

Day 3 - Power cardio and resistance - umm yeah I'm going to die.  This workout is hard!!!! The moves themselves aren't always very hard - okay I lie they are - but its the repetition and speed that you do them that kills.  Like Jenn said in her post on facebook - you learn to love 30 secs - that's the rest time you get in between the 3mins drills and it's the best 30 secs ever!!!!  As much pain as I'm in , I am enjoying these workouts because I've been lazy over the winter (besides running and even that I slacked on) so it feels good to feel my muscles working again. 
I stopped at Walmart on my way into work to pick up some G3 (the gatorade protein drink) - - I hate protein drinks and bars - I can't find one I like but I can stomach this if I cut it with water.  Also picked up a yogurt and choc milk (did you know choc milk is a GREAT recovery drink? - I didn't either but it is).  Oh yeah I also got my self some pain cream for the back of my legs - just something I can put on at night so I don't wake up and fall out of bed =)

Insane!!!(Kelly)

Okay so me and Jenn are great at trying new gimmicks, exercises, products, you name it we try it.  Soooo.... since we can't get ourselves to a bootcamp (it's hard for Jenn because of Brian's shift work sch ) we have to find something else besides running.  We get bored easy so its good to try new things =)  Anyway I have the P90X but I got to say not a big fan - I really don't like the guy who does it and without the chin up bar you miss out on a lot of the exercises so a BIG THANK YOU to Stacey for letting us use her Insanity tapes!!! Insanity is another workout you see on the infommercials so we thought WHY NOT?  60 days of crazy cardio workouts with core training. 

It began yesterday with a 25 min fit test which I completed but barely.  I was sweating so much and felt like I was going to throw up - I guess I'm a little out of shape.  Today was day 2 Plyometric cardio and boy was that fun.  I woke up at 5:10 am and was sore from yesterday but I had to do it.  The warmup was 15 mins of what I would call a hard workout followed by insane (yes I'm going to use that word a lot b/c it's appropriate) 25 mins of cardio with stretching.  I was drenched with sweat - you would have thought I was outside in the rain.  I had the window open fan on and water but I still was soaked with sweat.  So today I will be stretching A LOT at my desk to try and keep my body from completely seizing up =)    Join me on my journey of insanity.......

LONG TIME!!!!!! (JENN)

Good morning everyone! Well i hope everyone else is having a good morning b/c I just got my ass handed to me by a workout dvd!!!
Well lets start from the beginning! It has been a long time since I have blogged. I have been a  little stressed the past month or so...first it was training for the broad street run! Which I am proud to say Kelly and I finished it together at 1 hour 53 mins.....I wanted to be under 2 hours and it was...lol. Not by much but still it was under! Next year we would like to cut that time down to 1 1/2 hours. Which I think is totally possible. But we also, b/c we are crazy, want to do other events. We would like to try to do a Mud run with obstacle, and there is a triathlon in august that we want to do too. So since we have been doing nothing but running we thought we need to get the rest of our body's in shape in order to climb walls and swing on ropes and crap like that.....So we(Kelley, Stacey and i) started the INSANITY workout. Today was only day two but WOW, it really kicked my ass and I am looking forward to Sunday b/c that is my day off!
So after stressing about broad street I then started to stress about Abby and her school.....Long story made short....b/c of her learning disabilities they feel she would do better in an other school. At first that was a scary thing for me b/c we like the school she is in.....but we have to do what is right for her. So i have had some up and down days and eating has not been good..........I have gained back any weight I had lost from before.
That was very hard for me to admit...i am embarrassed, ashamed and feeling like i let myself down!
What I thougth was funny was that Kelly read an article that said you can be fit and Fat...I started thinking...but in the long run i am not happy being over weight. I tried telling myself that it is not a big deal. But for some reason it is to me! I want to keep this weight off and being a stress eater it is hard!
I know that A LOT of people yo yo with their diets like I do. And every time I say this is it...i am going to get to my goal and stay there.....then once I start hearing people say...WOW you look great...I start to slack. I almost want people to shut up and when am where i want to be then they can tell me how great I look! LOL! I know that sounds f'ed up but that is me! LOL! I want to be able to put on clothes and feel good about it and not....wow this is too tight or this shows my fat. I know I won't be model material...but I just want to feel good about myself. So my biggest challenge right now is to not eat when I get stressed!  I am going to work on that and working out 66 days a week!
And with being supportive for both Kelly and Stacey and having their support is going to be a big help!
I have to go stretch some more b/c I feel like my muscles are going to explode!
Have a great day everyone! I will try and post something if not everyday but maybe every other!!!
And maybe when we are done the INSANE workout! We will post some before and after pictures.....That is a BIG maybe!!!

10K down 10 miles to go......(Kelly)

Last weekend Jenn and I completed our longest run for both of us ever and we did it together.  We ran a 10K(6.2miles) out in Ambler and we did it in 1:07 - not too bad for our first time running that distance.   It was a good run , the weather was nice and the turnout was good too.  Gotta get a few more long runs in before our 10 miles on May 1st but I feel good that we will be ready to do it.  

The weather seems like it is finally going to get nicer and hopefully stay nicer (after tomorrow) so getting more running in should be easier.  I gotta get my cycling in too - I love to ride and it's a great alternative to working different parts of your leg muscles compared to running. 

My ankles have been on the sore side a lot lately and I need to get that checked out but I think I'll wait till after the Broad St run - - in the meantime I've been taping them up and that seems to work out good.  I tried this new tape on Sat called KT Tape - it's pretty cool and worked well (I just gotta get better at putting it on )  - - Check it out - you can use it just about everywhere and it comes in some cool colors.  Jenn used it on her knee and elbow.

Well gotta get ready to leave work and head to Jenn's to get a night run in......

Motivation(jenn)

Good Evening!!! I am sooo freaking tired! But I just wanted to come on here an give  little pep talk to anyone who is feeling like they don't want to do anything let alone workout!!!
I tweeked my knee last week and i have not ran in about a week or more! Now I am going to run today and run through any pain I may have b/c I have to run 6.2 miles this saturday! WTF! I am soooo tired that I could lay down and fall asleep right now, but b/c I have this 10k hanging over my head I have to get out there and run...I have no choice.....I HAVE TO RUN!! This is my motivation....I signed up for this run and now I have to do it! So I have to get my fat ass out there and do it!
So this was more of a little motivation for myself and anyone out there that may be feeling like doing nothing! Just sign up for a run and then get your ass moving!

Spring where did you go? (Kelly)

Ummmm....so where is Spring?  I thought last week was going to be a good indication of great weather ahead and then this week winter decideds it didn't want to leave.   I had the Phillies 5k fun on Saturday and I was hoping for warmer weather but at least the sun was shining.  My family came out to cheer me on in the freezing cold which is always a great feeling.  Jenn came down with me in the morning and was my bag lady - holding everything for me.  She stood out in the cold way before the race and waited around after the race for the post race party and while I got in line for my home plate photo.  The run was completely flat but my ankles were killing me - I think I need to find a sports doc to check out why my ankles hurt so much.  Maybe I can change my shoes or technique - something because I don't want to be doing damage to my ankles. 

Despite the pain I was in I managed to have one of my best times 27:55 and 745 out of 3000 runners. I have to say I was a little disappointed in the Phillies for thier run.  I have been to enough runs now and they really didn't have a lot going on.  They had only one mile marker and that was a small sign....no timing out on the course and you got a water and a banana.  I mean come on it's the Phillies!!!!  They could afford mile markers and timers on the course plus a pretzel or hot dog plus other give aways.  I've been too much smaller runs with better shirts, give away bags, and after race refreshments.   I'm going to give them a pass this year since it was the first year but they need to step it up next year.



Oh and this is a great game!!!  Went to my girlfriends house last night and we played this game all night......it was a workout and so much fun.

A while! (jenn)

Well as from my last post I have been a little down. I went running last week with Kelly and this pain started in my knee...I tried to push myself but got scared! I don't want to hurt my self to the point where I can't run but I am mad b/c I want to run...I have to get to 6.4 miles by April 2...WTF!!! I have a lot of running to do this week....I am going to have to suck it up! Take some pain pills....LOL! Do what ever the Football players do when they hurt themselves and come out the next quarter and play!
I have been not letting the stress of everything going on and my knee a reason to eat! I have been staying the same on the scale which is much better then gaining! I have to get my mind set back on the eating and working out. I didn't think it would this hard with B's schedule. He is shift work and when he works night I should be going running when he wakes up around 12. This week was a little crazy I had something going on everyday or is rained. Also the freaking weather. I had a couple of days of running that were nice and now I don't even want to go run in the cold......I know that Kelly is the same way too.....
Tomorrow Kelly is running a 5k down at the Phillie's stadium..I wish I was running with her....and I just might! Going to go down and cheer her on and if they happen to have any open registration I will sign up and run..Hoping to get the girls to go down with Brian b/c the phantic is going to be there and I know they would love to meet him.
Sometimes I wish he had a normal job so that I could have a normal routine for my workouts and runs. But I am going to have to work harder at making time for running. B/c 10 miles is no joke and I am not going to stop at until I cross that finish line.......ENCOURAGEMENT!!!

Trying times! (Jenn)

Well how am I supose to follow up after that last post by Kelly!!! All I have to say is Tears!!!!
Today has been a very long day for me...i have been at the point where I felt I was having a pity party for myself and then I talked to kelly and felt a little better then I talk to my cousin and felt even more better b/c I know that I have to do what I need to do for my daughter and  get the best of everything for her. I have 7 1/2 years of being strong for her and everyone that I have some moments....and today I had a moment!! LOL! But I didn't EAT!! Which is what I usually do b/c I am a stress eater......What I actually let myself do is cry....as it is very forgien to me....I let myself cry. Some poeple don't know me that welll but those that do will know that it has been a very long time since I have let that happen.....I LET MYSELF CRY!!!
So after I felt a little better and got my muscles back I hear about something tragic happen to someone I know!!! I am still in shock. I don't know what to do...I wanted to cry all over again.....
I am so grateful for my 2 daughters and my husband! So blessed with Bff's that i know that if I ever need them they will be there! I love you all!
Please keep my friend in your prayers b/c her and her kids are going to need every last bit of faith anyone can send!
Muscles!!!! Encourgement!!!!

So Proud.....(Kelly)

I AM SOOOO PROUD OF JENN!!!!!!!!!!  I needed to shout that out - last Sat. Jenn did her first full 5 mile run with me and she was awesome.  She could have chosen a flatter run (which I secretly wanted her to do) but she wanted to run Alventhorpe (not sure how you spell it) park which once around is 1.7miles of rolling hills and one big long windy hill.  There really isn't much to this park that is flat so 3 laps around is nothing to joke about especially for your first time trying to do 5 miles.  We finished under an hour and looking great. 

I am so proud of Jenn for sticking with running and for being my running partner. Running is not easy and especially through the cold months but we kept at it.  Jenn even ran 5 miles again on Tuesday (feeling like a slacker now....b/c I haven't run since Sat. ) at the park by herself.  It's hard enough some days to get out and go running when it's still chilly with your running buddy but when you get up and do it by yourself that's even more commitment. 

I can't wait to do Broad Street with Jenn and cross the finish line together. It is going to be an awesome feeling doing something you never thought you could do with your best friend beside you the whole way!!!!

If you have something you want to do or even something you may not want to do but want to challenge yourself to do it GO FOR IT....!!!  You really can do almost anything you put your mind to and Jenn and I are a testament to that with running.  BROAD STREET WATCH OUT - WE'RE COMING!!!  COUNTDOWN TO MAY 1ST BEGINS......

Du Du Du-athlon training (Kelly)

So we (Jenn & family & me) went to the Edurance Sports Expo yesterday - it was cool.  Lots of vendors and all kinds of stuff. Rides and runs to sign up for ( I ignored the swim part b/c there is no way I'm getting into open water).  One of the vendors was from CGI racing for the upcoming (July) women's tri-du athlon in Philly.  This is the race I wanted to do 2 years ago but never trained for it.  It's a 2mile run , 17 mile bike ride, and 3.1 mile run all along Kelly Drive in Philly.  2 years ago I didn't know if I could run 5 miles total - I knew I could bike the 17 miles now 2 years later I know I can run 5 miles soon to be 10 miles fingers crossed but can I ride and run in the same day within mintues of each other???!!! That was the question and of course typical me I decide go head first into it today.  It was a nice day and I still had a lot of tax homework to do for class that's due tonight at midnight (yeah I'm still doing it) so why not go out and ride and run?!!!  Seems like the right thing to do.....

So earlier this afternoon around noonish I went for a 20mile bike ride along the VF trail - now you have to understand I've done this ride probably 100 times and it's really flat but of course I hadn't been on my road bike outside since last summer so needless to say it was a painful ride.  The first 10 miles weren't so bad but coming back with the wind killed me.  My neck hurt from not being use to the ride and my knees were killing me SOOOOO what to do next??.... go running of course.  I didn't have to run until Jenn was home from work so I had a few hours but I think I needed more like a few days.  Still I went running at Mondauk park - nothing to big just 2 miles but I felt like my ankles were going to shatter.  I feel okay now but I just know I will be paying for this tomorrow. 
Well you gotta start training sometime....let's just hope it gets easier next time and that by the time July rolls around I'll be running and biking like I was born to do it.  =)

Blah Blah Blah and my mouth hurts ... (Kelly)

I'm feeling very blah this week and tired perhaps it has something to do with the fact that winter smacked me back in the face after a beautiful week last week and/or the fact that my mouth has been hurting for 2 wks now.  Tooth/mouth pain can really wear you down and I think it's finally getting to me.  I went to the dentist today and instead of taking xrays he wants me to see an oral surgeon?!?!  Do dentists do anything anymore??? I haven't been there in 2yrs and I always seem to have a cavity - I mean I have more metal in my mouth than teeth -- you would think he would have taken an xray!!!  So now I have to wait till I get an appt at an oral surgeon which might turn out to be a waste of time if what i have is a cavity.  Ahhhh....!!!!

So needless to say with the snow , cold, and my mouth hurting I've only sat on the couch this week when last week I ran 16 miles....god I hate winter (and toothaches). 

On a side note I bought a pole dance lesson for $8 on buywithme.com deal of the day.  Jenn and I will be going to a class - this should be interesting. 

It's 7:23pm and I think I'll go to bed - maybe I'll wake up tomorrow and feel no pain. 

Dreaming of being on an island again

Too good to be true (Kelly)

I just knew winter wasn't over with us yet...i can't believe we are getting another 2-4 inches of snow. Just when it all melted away..... =(   

I currently have no heat in my house so I'm sitting here with socks,uggs, sweatpants, long sleeve t-shirt, sweatshirt, hat , gloves and scarf.  I'm watching Mike try and fix it and of course something isn't right....he got the part but its not fitting so he's trying to make it fit - that's just great.  I think I'll go do a Jillan tape to warm up......

Speaking of tapes has anyone tried or have the new Insanity DVD's?  Do you know anyone that has them?  I saw them on an infommercial last weekend and of course I was like I have to have that......  Let me know!!!

BACK! Jenn

WOW!!! 5 days I have had this blog up to write and I haven't gotten to it and then Kelly beats me to it!
I am not promising anything on how far I will get today b/c I have to get ready for work....HA!!
But one thing is I am very proud of Kelly! She is my inspiration! She ran 5 miles yesterday and did an awesome job!! Even though her ankles were hurting her!
My goal this week is to run 5 miles by Friday! B is night work so i will have no excuses on why i can't run when he gets up from sleeping! NO EXCUSES!!!! that is what i am going to tell myself everyday!
(continued 12 hours later)
Had work all weekend and think that I did very good with my eating! I got a little laid back and haven't been counting or writing down my food! I swear writing everything down is like a HUGE reality check! With the weather also I have not been running that much ether! Started up last week and man my legs were sore! I am not giving up though! I am back on track!
I actually started to fall back into my depression a little bit for a couple days I could feel myself going down! I knew I had to snap out of it and fast! I noticed that working out and not eating junk make a huge difference. I feel like I did something good when I workout! I know that this is going to sound weird but it make me feel happy!
Let me just say that holiday season is the hardest time to stay on your diet! And as much as I love snow storms it sucked b/c I couldnt run in 2 feet of snow! And idiot people who don't shovel their walks! WTF!
So as you can see we are just normal people who fall and get right back on and keep going!
NO EXCUSES!!!!

Sunday is anything but lazy....and I miss my toys =( (kelly)

I always try and make Sunday my lazy day but because I'm such a procrastinator I always end up doing homework.  This sunday was no different except I had a paper due on tax - YUCK !!   I knew I wasn't planning on working out or running since I did 5 miles yesterday so I wasn't worried about getting that in but I did have this tax paper that I had been putting off all week - - gee I wonder why? Taxes are so fun and writing about codes and regs and tax rules is even more fun. 

So.......I got up early to start my paper because I knew I had to go watch the girls (Abby and Marissa) from 10:30 to 5:00 but I just sat around until 10am because god damn it Dirty Dancing was on and NOBODY PUTS BABY IN THE CORNER!!!!!  (Ok I've seen DD 1000 times but I hadn't seen it lately). 

I have to say the girls were great they let me do my homework while they watched movies and of course I watched a little too.  I did not know that Toy Story 3 was going to be so damn sad - I literally cried my eyes out from the time they were at the trash place about to get burned up till the very end.  I hide my tears from the girls because I didn't want them to get sad because I was sad.  I started to think about my old toys and how I wished I was still a kid playing with toys instead of writing a paper  on taxes.

Remember these guys?

 I loved the Wuzzles especially bumblebee-lion ( because he reminded me of my fav puppet Leary the Lion that my parents threw away on me- still hurts)

And

Rainbow Brite!!!!



My first my little pony - cotton candy

Jem is totally outrageous!!

I MISS MY TOYS!!!!!  I hope they were somehow picked up by some little kid that loved them as much as I did and that they knew I loved them.....at least that's what the kid inside me wants to believe!
