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!
