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!
Pain is the fear leaving your body, Pain=Fat!!!

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!

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

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!!!
