Congrats Ryan!!

So I am on day “2” of week 5, or recovery week, for my insanity challenge/lifelong workout.  Let me tell you..it IS one of my favorite workouts of the dvd series so far however,  it is SO hard haha.  It kicks my butt every time.  I love this workout :D!! anyway..the reason why the no. 2 is in parenthesis is because it is really day “4” of the recovery week, however I was so sore from the first time i did it that i had to take a day off :Z  I would have picked back up again on day 3, however that was a special day and so i didn’t work out.  I am getting such amazing results from this dvd collection, all my workout clothes that i bought in the beginning are getting big on me and all my scrubs are just hanging on me!! i have had a lot of people at work mention something, which is GREAT motivation!!


Anyway the reason why day 3 was so special was because it was my husbands surprise graduation party!!  I worked so hard on that party for about a month and the turn out wasn’t that bad :). Not as many people showed up as i thought would. I had a teacher theme for the party, since he has a BA in elementary education (which means he can teach k-8) and a minor in math (which means he can teach freshman math).  I covered the food tables in black bulletin board paper and wrote what the food item was on the paper with white chalk to create a chalkboard affect.  I also made a paper towel holder out of crayons and a utensil holder out of colored pencils.  I figured he could use the paper towel holder in his classroom and the utensil holder can hold scissors, pens, pencils etc. I served bbq pulled pork (from texas roadhouse yummmmm),  pasta salad , taco salad, 7 layer salad, brownie truffle and a giant cake!! Ill post some pictures later..i haven’t had time to put them on my computer yet..Ryan wasn’t as surprised as i had hoped, only because he is too smart for his own good and i cant lie to him haha..i will say though i have LOTS of leftovers :z  but i guess that is something you learn to estimate better as you plan more and more parties.

Week 4...let's begin

so I just completed day one of week four of "Insanity".  haha let me tell YOU!! insanity isn't even a good name for it!! how about.. ludicrous or hysteria or delusion!!!  these workouts definitely kick my butt!!!  I still think that the warm-up is a workout in itself, and I am dripping sweat no joke after 10 minutes.  On a side note though I think these are the best workouts in the world!!! As much as I hate them I love them and am addicted to them!! they give you one day a week off and I feel so sluggish and blah on that day that I end up doing an ab workout just to get rid of the feeling!  anyway,  I have lost a little over three pounds in 2.5 weeks ( i am not really using the scale as a measuring tool simply because of the amount of muscle gain will def. mess up the number) and I have lost 1.5" around my arms, thighs, hips and waist line!!! wwooooooo  :D

I feel like a beast and I feel WAYYYYY skinner than what I am haha!!!
