Welcome

I am proud of my family. I love Jesus. I am not perfect. I like junk food, particularly potato chips. I work out with my sexy rock star husband. I hate it. I do it for the company. My children make my heart beat. I was once a full time photographer. I retired to loose my sanity by becoming a stay-at-home Mom. I recently came out of retirement to avoid the looney-bin. Please enjoy the funny stories of my family, the hilarity of me trying to work out & find my skinny and the every-now-and-then crafts that I begin but rarely finish.
God Save The Queen.....

Insanity - Day 38

Max Cardio Conditioning.

Oh.My.Lanta......

Poor Chris. He did his work out yesterday after work. So that means he only had around 11 hours between two work outs.

Poor Guy.....

I know how sore I was from a 20 hour break in between.

Rickety. I was rickety. {I don't care if it isn't a word}

This was a fully 47 minute work out that gave no breaks for water or rest in between sets. You just guiltily stopped during the work out to run to throw up, catch your breath, fart, take a water break. It says it on the screen, "rest when needed." So I rested.

Actually, I rested a lot during this work out.  I just wasn't able to keep up. Chris did much better than me. Even after working out just 11 hours ago.

Tomorrow is Max Recovery or something of that sort. I'll update tomorrow.

God Save the Queen. And my quads.

Insanity - Day 36 & 37 MONTH #2

Phewwww, I'm rickety today.....

I am just going to spare the embarrassment that was yesterday & skip right on to today.

Well, today wasn't much better.

Okay, so yesterday was the 1st day into Month #2.

Lawwwddd!!! We had the fit test ANNNNDDD the work out.

Thank God Chris was home for Labor day.  We were able to break up the two during the day.

Here's my Fit Test for yesterday:
MOVE: Fit         Test 1       Fit Test 2       Fit Test 3
Switch Kicks          45            104               97
Power Jacks            30              45              47
Power Knees           60             87              102
Power Jumps          10              19               25
Globe Jumps            2               8                7
Suicide Jumps          5               7                10
Push-Up Jacks         8              12               12
Low Plank Oblique 27             30               38

Over all, I did better. But we were both worn out!! It took us a few hours to recoup & then we did the full work out at nap time.
TODAY:
Today was Max interval Plyo
Um, yeah. I'm still rickety (Yeah, its a WORD!)
PLYO in every sense of the word. It was 55 minutes of jump, control training.
The work out was really hard. But I was determined to do at least a rep of each work out.
I feel great.
Great, but sore.

Insanity - Recovery Week

This week has been a "recovery" week for us.

It's all the same work out every day so there's not much to report.

The work out is called Core Cardio & Balance.

It was a great work out to help us rest our bodies but keep the momentum going.

I'm kind of concerned though, that I'm not keeping up enough to be ready for the next phase of the work out. But I think they know what they're doing.

We'll see, right?
