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!

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!!!
Pain is fear leaving the body. The fear= fat<-------------------LOVE THAT! Stealing it for my signature!!

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.

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 =)
