Cussing Out Shaun T and CURRICULUM HAPPINESS! :)

Do you see me? 

Do you see my face? 

I just cussed out my TV. Like, Shaun T has now been thoroughly cussed out. People, if you know me at all, you know I RARELY use vulgar language. I think for 40 minutes, I rarely said something that was nice. 

Phew.  

Other than that boss workout I just did, it was a pretty good day! I ate fairly well. I tried a new salmon recipe from SparkRecipes. So delicious. I also tried couscous for the first time. It was also REALLY good!  

My curriculum is done for the school year. Another teacher and I planned everything. We have all of our resources for the ENTIRE year! We are going to get back together around the 15th and write specific lesson plans for the first few weeks of school. I already feel SO much better about this year, despite the transition to a new school. 

On another note, I am so nervous that I'm not going to lose any weight this week. I'm getting back in routines. I'm eating better again. I'm working out. I'm drinking my water. I just still feel like I'm going to weigh myself on Sunday and have gained weight...or measure myself and have gained inches. I'm so terrified to gain weight. I'm scared that I'll quit if I have zero results after a week of working so hard. Then, I feel stupid for feeling that way...which then makes me more nervous. Ugh. I hate this cycle of badness.

Insanity Day 2 - Plyometric Cardio Circuit

Today was the first "real" workout for Insanity. 

I fit it into my day pretty easily...it just sucked. Actually, at one point, he said we had 30 seconds for a water break, and I giggled a little. I grabbed my water and sat out that entire next circuit. I joined back in for the 3rd circuit of basketball drills. This is just the hardest workout program I think I've ever done. I hear it's that way for most people. 

I was so sore this morning from just the fit test alone. However, I'm going to keep pushing every day. I can only get better. :)

Insanity - Day 1 - Fit Test

OMG. Seriously? SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!?!?

That sucked.

I just finished my Fit Test for Insanity. Also counts as today's workout. The video is about 25 minutes long and it sucks. I wonder if I'm going to feel like this every day. I'm proud of myself for getting up to do it....but I hurt. My chest is cold. My legs feel like jello. Wahhhhhh.

Anyway, here are my results from the very first fit test. I almost feel like I should be ashamed....except I know that this is somewhere for me to start. It can only get better from here.

MOVE	FIT TEST 1 (day 1)	FIT TEST 2 (day 15)	FIT TEST 3 (day 36)	FIT TEST 4 (day 50)	FIT TEST 5 (day 63)
1. SWITCH KICKS	64
2. POWER JACKS	27
3. POWER KNEES	60
4. POWER JUMPS	8
5. GLOBE JUMPS	5 (pause)
6. SUICIDE JUMPS	8
7. PUSH-UP JACKS	5 (kind of)
8. LOW PL ANK OBLIQUE	25

I had to pause after doing globe jumps because I thought my chest was going to explode.

Push-up jacks were also interesting because I can't even do a dang push-up...so, tell me how I'm going to do push-up jacks?! I tried though. Phew.

Fit Test - Check!

Insanity - Day 0

Wow, it has been a long time since I have posted. I am a slacker. I'm sorry.

I'm going to be doing a lot better. I promise. I'm going to start doing my teacher posts again as well as this new, fun series on my fitness level.

Tomorrow, Monday, 7/29/13, I am starting Insanity. I am soooo nervous about it. I feel like a fat cow most of the time. I will be measuring and everything today as well as taking pictures. I am not confident enough to take pictures and post them yet, but I will when I start to see progress, maybe. I am very self-conscious about the way that I look. I won't even let boyfriend really rub on my stomach. I'm not really a large person....but I'm flabby. Guess that's what happens when you have been overweight forever and then you have a baby. Unfortunately, I can't use the baby excuse anymore. C is two now (almost 26 months, to be exact). I own this. It's my responsibility to get in shape for myself, my son, and the life that I want to live.

Tomorrow starts the Insanity workout. I believe that Day 1 is simply the fit test. I've tried it before and I wanted to throw up just after doing that. I just need to remember that I don't need to be perfect and keep up with Shaun T. I can go at my own pace as long as I'm pushing myself. So nervous.

I'll definitely post how it goes.

Here are my goals:

In 60 days, I'd like to
--Lose 8 lbs.
--Lose 2" from my waist
--Lose 1" from each thigh
--Tighten up my arms a little.
--Feel more comfortable in my own skin (most important)
--Be proud of the progress that I've made

Wish me luck. :)
