End of week 6

Ok so I didn't work out on friday but I did do the workout on saturday.  Oh man it is intense.  You are not going to believe what is going on.  I weight myself and guess what!! Im at 230!!!!! Woo hooo.  I am so soar from the workout but it feels so good.  There is no easy way or quick way to lose weight!  Its all hard work and sweat like that lady that has lost 300lbs.  I know you might feel in a slump but how much do you want to be healthy!! Sometimes you just have to push and push even when you don't want to.  There is something magical when you workout and complete it.  At that moment you feel like you are on top of the world!!!  Write down how you feel the time when you don't work out and write down how you feel right after you work out.  Do it just don't make excuses.  If you feel like making excuses not to work out find excuses from those excuses so you can work out.  I don't know if that makes sense.  Its all a mind thing keep going.  If I can do it and beat my butt you can do it too!

Keep going

Middle of week 6

I don't know what it is about it but I love the feeling after working out! In the morning I still dread waking up and working out for that brief moment but I still do it.  My body is so soar but man my legs are solid.  I wanted to post some more pictures but I ran out of time.  Maybe by the end of this week.  These new workouts are so much more intense than the previous month.  I have eaten healthy.  I watch my portions and I have notice a difference inside of me.  I feel cleaner.  Don't get me wrong I still falter because I still have my soda and candy but not as often than normal.  I am starting to drink more water but I should drink more.  Oh man during the workouts the intensity is so high I usually drink around 3 cups of water.  I am beating myself up in those workouts.  I have fallen in love with having my shirt soaked in sweat! I really want to see some results.  I hope I am doing well.  Ill post some pics later so you can see if I have made a difference.

Week 6

Month two is on its way.  I woke up with more motivation.  I am determined to finish this month.  My body is a machine its build to push, to work hard and LOOK GOOD!   From the last time I weight myself I have gone down to 234.  That is not bad since I only worked you two times a week.  Oh my Gosh my workouts are so much more intense I feel the change.  I read this one quote that I really like.  It said "I am going to beat my [butt] today, so I can beat your's tomorrow."  I don't know who said it but it really works.  Lastly my mom gave me so much motivation.  I showed her the pics that I posted and she was so proud of me.  She told me to keep going!  I felt that I made her happy. Thanks mom!  So I am so soar.  You know what it is so hard trying to get myself out of bed to workout and even in the beginning it was so hard that I didn't even want to do it.  I was just so tired but I kept on going and going there were a few times that I was ready to push stop but Shaun T (the instructor) says things that keeps you going.  My whole body is soar but I feel good.  They say month two is when you see more results so I am excited.  We shall  see!!

Friday week 5

It felt good working out.  I was doing it and I was sweating.  But honestly I was like when does this stop.  I wanted to stop the video too.  I just kept on thinking what the HEC im almost done.  One thing I have done this week is that I have eaten healthy.  I am not stuffing my face like I did in the weekend.  But oh man here comes this weekend.  As I was doing my workout I felt week and I feel that since I have not worked out a lot this week my stamina has gone down.  How long can one not work it to stop losing weight or feel unhealthy?  I don't know.  I have two days left in the week to see how I do.  Next week starts month two and I feel like I'm not ready.  I have to take another fit test and I don't know how I will do.  I don't feel that I could match up.  I hate writing like this because I feel that all I do is whine but that is how I feel.  I just want to throw my hands up in the air sometimes.  I need something that would motivate me but I can't seem to find it.  Any of you guys have any suggestions?

middle of week 5

I really feel like I have been slacking off.  Honestly this week has beaten me up.  I have not worked out since last thursday except for wednesday.  I still have today to work out but man I need to be able to find the time.  I don't know when I would do it.  There has been so much stuff going on that I can't find myself to wake up in the morning like I use to.  I find so many excuses that I find myself falling back asleep.  This week is my recovery week in insanity but I have not done it except for that day.  Man I feel like I am just complaining and I don't want to sound like that.  OH man I can't find that drive to keep going.  I have one more month left to do on this program and its going to get more intense.  If I don't do something soon I feel that I might stop.and this is were I stopped my workout last time and didn't finish the program.

Week 5

Memorial day weekend and man it's hard not to mess up. But it's all good last week I skip 2 of my workouts so I didn't finish them but I didn't stop moving! I kept on riding my bike walked around and got my blood pressure higher so I didn't just sit around. I feel good i'm starting this week but it's all a recovery week. I'm excited cuz every where I read about this workout you see more results in month 2 than one! Wooo hhoooo! So I weight myself! Ready for the results! This was from the last time I did it was like two weeks ago. I was 239 now on 237. Not bad I can do better and will. I need to drink more water to help me. I just don't like to drink it. But you know what I'm going to suck it up. I got me a camelbak to help me with my water intake. I read something today about calories. It's interesting. They said treat calories like your treating your money. For example do you want to pay 300 calories for that snack. I bet we can see it differently. But it's all about the mind and how bad I want it. I am progressing slowly but surely. But I will do better.

Inspiration

This weekend was full of imputation for me. We went to see Paul cardall and the soul surfer movie. Both are a great inspiration. The guy was born with gOd a hart the he got a full heart and climb mount Olympus. The other girl surfer had her arm bitten off by a shark. Can u believe that! And you know what she be
came a national champ. How is it thAt people who have missing parts do great and those of us who have a perfect working body just let it go to waste. They set their minds and accomplish it. Why can't we? They have given me a great inspirationthat I can reach my goal. To them I want to say thank you!

Week 4

Can you believe it Week 4 is here.  Man I have some good news and bad news.  I did all I could last week to work out and I was doing great.  But man the week end came and BOOM.  I had sweets and not so healthy food.  Darn you taco bus why do you have to be soo good!  I don't regret it though I needed this week end.  My workouts are so good I end up dripping sweat!  I do feel my body getting smaller I wish I would have taken the measurements for it.  I promise you that I am going to not give into sweets this week even in the weekend.  I promise you and mi amor told me she promised me too!  I am so excited.  I wish you could see her.  She is doing a great job in losing it too!  This are my before and after pictures.  The after pictures are up to the middle of week 3.  I still weight the same that I said last time.  The before pictures are the ones with the cabinets.  Can you see a difference?

same day

You know how sometimes you just eat to accompany a person.  Well that is not my issue.  My issue is that I don't like letting food go to waste.  That is just part of the issue.  The other part is that I eat because it is just there.  For example today I had 7 taffy candies.  I saw them there and I knew that I should not eat them.  But I knew if I ate one I would eat more.  Something said to me it won't hurt.  So I ate 3.  As I come back to the dish there was 4 left and I am like "sad, no one wants them"  So I ate 3 and there was one left.  I felt so bad that that candy was just there by itself.  I felt pity for that.  Man, writing this makes me feel lame.  But you guessed it I ate it.  The same thing happened to me at night with some subway cookies.  I was full and I should have stopped but I didn't want to carry around a bag for just one small cookie.  WE SHOULD HAVE ONLY GOTTEN 3 INSTEAD OF 6! This is one of my problems that I just eat because it is there.  This has been an ongoing issue for me.  Especially in my weak moments or in times that I am with someone eating.  Ugh! I know this is lame but I just need to get it out and figure out how to stop this.

middle of week 3

Man, I didn't feel like exercising today in the morning.  I was so tired.  But something got me from going back to sleep.  Also I didn't feel like doing two videos.  Today was a 2 video day.  But I got my shoes one and hit play.  I'll be honest I was not into it in the beginning just going through the motions.  But soon I was like I should just hit stop and go back to bed.  Then I realized I was sweating like crazy only 4 minutes into the workout.  I pushed myself and I am soar.  My body is really soar.  Its a good soar and I am just glad I was able to finish it.  I don't want to miss a day because I want to see how good I can get.  It is hard and I need some push.  I have been eating healthy limiting my portions and not eating processed food.  I deserve a pat on the back! ha ha.  Thank you all for your support

beginning of week 3

So let me tell you what happened.  Saturday I did not do the work out.  Instead I went and climbed R Mountain which is a old volcano.  It took us 3 hours.  What a day!  it was good.  But let me tell you that my meals were not the best.  I did space them out but I had bbq pork and pulled pork sandwiches.  I also had ice cream but this time it was not a double scoop it was just a single one, a small one.  So today I had to do the fit test and let me give you my results from the first week to now.  The first week will be the first number and week 3 will be the second number.
                                
Switch kicks  86    113
Power Jacks  39     55
Power knee    96  107
Power Jump   30   41
Globe jumps 9    10
s jumps            10  11
push up jacks   16   19.5
oblique knee     33   46

I started getting tired by globe jumps.

End of week 2

Holy cow this was a really great week the only workout that I have left is on Saturday. I didn't feel like working out tooday nut knowing that I had to report to u guys gave me motivation. I am going to reach my goal of workingout this week of not missing a day. I have eaten so healthy with whole wheat . Ate a lot of vegetables. I did have a funnel cake. That was bad but I don't regret it. My body feels so good right now. I love dripping sweat all over.

End of the week

So I was really good this week. I workedout and ate healthy this week. It was all good until the weekend showed up. Then I had bad carbs and sugar. I didn't do insanity on Friday but I was riding my bike all around town. Sarurday though I didn't do none and ate bad but not bad enough that I felt sick to my stomach I still portioned my meal. Way to go me! So today is weigh in day I'm going to see how I did. My goal is to be able to train all this week and not skip a day. I do feel that my health is getting better and my endurance is up some. I hate that I get shin splints. They hurt when I workout but I just fight through it. I don't regret what I ate. I'm learning from my mistakes and I'm doing this one day at a time. I hope my work out was enough to make up for my non workou days and bad eating. I'll admit I do feel a little tighter. Here comes week two!

A new week

I ate do good yesterday. It was healthy but I have an issue that the food taste bland. I don't know how to make healthy food taste good. My problem is that the recipes that are healthy have some weird ingredients that I can't find, are too expensive or I can't figure out how to use it. I ate some ice cream but didn't feel good afterwards. So I got some inspiration! I don't want to lose weight I wasn't to shred fat. I don't want to work out I want to train! That's a good mentallity.

The end of last week

I'll be honest with you.  The only thing I did was ride me bike to and from work.  I ate like crap and it wasn't good.  I had half a burrito, half a super quesadilla, foot subs  and pizza.  BUT I'm not stressing ok.  I'm not going to whine that I did something bad.  What I am going to do is fix it.  This is  a bran new week and I am going to do better.  I am starting a cleanse today with cranberry juice.  I switch over to insanity workout since it has more cardio.  I'm keeping with it this time.  I weigh myself yesterday and i was 244 lbs.  In the beginning of last April I was 208.  Thats ok I room for improvement.  I was able to get down there I can do it again!  Stick with me!

day 2

Wow what can I say!  I worked out doing plyo and man was I sweating.  My eating went really well I thought for the most part.  I ate 2 eggs again and oatmeal.  I had a string cheese and kiwi for snack.  Lunch I had a roast beef sandwich with no condiments.   Dinner I had whole wheat pasta with turkey and zucchini with mushrooms.  What a day.  I don't like waking so early because I get tired during the day.  I fell asleep at work and at school.  ok ok ill admit.  I went to go see a movie and I ate a lot of candy.  It was so much sugar and a soda.  I need to drink more water.

day 1

What a day! I woke up at 6 and worked out.  I decided to do P90X since I know that workout works for me.  I can feel my body to be soar.  The first workout I did was pure push ups and pull ups to tone my chest and back.  I feel soar but in a good way!  My eating you ask.  Well it wasn't the worst but it wasn't the best.  I started off well. This is what I ate:

Breakfast

cup of oatmeal with a banana and two hard boiled eggs

snack

cheese stick with carrot

lunch

whole wheat turkey wrap

snack

cheese stick with kiwi

here is where I went wrong.  at 5 I had a turkey sandwich (that is not the bad part)

so at 630 I got hungry again and I ate at a deli and had a foot long sub.  it was a breakfast sandwich with egg sausage and cheese and the other half was a roast beef but it had a lot of mayo or some other type of sauce.  Ok but the good thing is that I didn't have any soda or chips with it.  Man, I get so weak at night time and I really just want to eat a lot.  Any one have any good ideas or experience on how they got over it?
