So a bunch a girls from work wanted to go out for dinner and I was torn...I didnt want to seem anti-social and not go, however I didnt want to go and eat completely wrong...Ive been doing so well. So I decided that i would go...not drink and I looked over thhe menu before hand and made my choice. I was PROUD of myself...mainly because I didnt get a beer or wine...I NEVER go out for dinner and not get a cocktail and secondly I kept to my pre-planned menu.

WHOOOOOOwhooooo! I am committed!

Today was a recovery day according to insanity and so I just did a intense warm up from one of the workouts and did cardio abs. 34min=206 cals

I am counting the days til my tready comes!

I did pure cardio and cardio abs tonight. 44min=340cals  eats were great again today...right out of the guide! A lot of things are actually easy to do and yummy! I hope to keep it up!

I also decided on a treadmill and it should be here in about 2 weeks. So I am excited about that :) It has that iFit card slots and I am looking forward to get a card and trying it out.

As long as I keep my eating under control and not to look for every opportunity to eat badly I will be fit in no time!

Did cardio circuit tonight and eats were great! finally! I have the whole week plan and took my menus out of the insanity menu guide.

If I can conquer one week of great eats then I know I can do it. here we go!!!!!

I am so debating on a buying a treadmill but not sure. Its a huge purchase like $800-1000. I dont know. I am so conservative with my money and freak out when I spend. Anyone have any great treadmill suggestions?

35mins=262cals

geez oh geez! this week has been horrible for workouts. and I cant say that its been because I have been busy. Yesterday I laid around all day and night and today I pretty much did the same...I did clean the house though and watch my nephew.

 hhhhmmmm...

well this is the way I am looking at it...a little over 3 weeks til christmas and a little over 4 weeks til new years eve. I am going to give it my all. I do have a wedding reception on the 12th but nothing that will totally sabatoge me.

One day I want to make my goal. I never get close enough. I feel like i must starve to even lose a little. So my metabolism must totally be screwed up. I got to figure out some way to readjust it. I will be doing some research in what I should do for me. I think that when I give it an honest attempt to eat healthy and with in a good caloric range It still may be a bit too low because one those days I do go into what "maintance" should be the scale moves up 5lbs and stays there. Thank god...I dont feel like that the scale shows.

only did a 5min warm up and then did stage 1 of NROLFW. total 37min=142cals.

I so wished weight lifting burnt more calories because I love seeing the numbers on my HR monitor, however I do know that it so great for you and your body so I am ok with that. Should have done cardio curcuit but Im just kindof bummed (just having a sad day for really no reason) so I am just going to bed.

good night all!

:P week 3 of insanity

So I did pure cardio and then 13 exercises 3 sets 10 reps for some strengthing 59min=411cal   Amazingly is was a great workout. I was able to go through Insanity with less breaks, which is great. My endurance is improving. I always have trouble with keeping my core tight while working out...but tonight it all worked! I was focused!

And my previous entry I added my burn so far wrong and fortunately I under credited myself.  I am wiped out and going off to bed.
