Tough it out Tuesday: Insanity Update

Top Row May 18, 2014: Bottom Row June 22, 2014

Hello Everyone. It's been 30 day since I wrote that I was going to be doing Insanity. As you can see in the picture my body has change a little. It still a work in process. I'm happy with the small result that I have gotten so far.  I can't wait to start seeing more. 

Which these last two weeks I have slightly fallin off the wagon. I haven't been working out 6 days a week like I was. I have been doing more walking and counting that as my work out. I need to get back on track again and start doing the insanity work outs again.  I'm not going to lie there were days that I skipped the insanity workouts and did a 10 minute trainer instead. They also were day that I did both work outs.

I have been working out for a total of two month now. Which the first month I did a mixture of home workout videos. Then second month I did insanity and 10 minute trainers. As a result from eating right and working out. I have now hit my first goal weight which was to get back down to 2013 summer weight. Which was 135.  I still have a good way to get to my Michigan weight but I know I can do it.  

Instead of moving on to the second month of insanity. I'm going to redo the first month over again. Which I will do another update post on  how things are going in a month. 

Here are my total results.

Starting weight April ~143

May~ 137.6 ~ Mixture of workouts

June~133.6 ~ Insanity and 10 minute trainer

Total weight lost~9.4 pounds 

Please no negative comment.

Tough it out Tuesday: Insanity

Right July 10, 2012~136 lbs/ Left September 2012 116lbs

Hello Everyone. Today I'm going to talk about my body. Please no negative comment. If you have been reading my blog for sometime now. You know that in 2012 I was the heaviest I have ever weighted. Which I would get comment telling me how fat I gotten. That when I decide I had to do something about my body. In August 2012. I started doing Insanity and lost 20 pounds. Which I felt great. You can read about my Insanity HERE.

I did such a great job keeping the weight off. Until April of 2013 that when I move to Germany. I was living in a hotel for 3 month and eat out a lot. Which cause me to start gain some weight. I was going to Zumba 3 time a week. Which helped me lose some of the weight. Well in July of 2013 I move in to my house and slowly started to stop working out. In October I was hitting the gym hard. Then the holiday came around and everything went to crap.

In January of this year I start back up with working out. Mainly just running. I still was eat whatever I want to eat. While a few month ago I step on the scale and start to cry. Due to I was weighing in at 143. Which to some people I know that is nothing but to me it was a huge deal. Due to that is now the heaviest I ever weight.  I have always struggle with my weight. For the longest time I was underweight and was trying to gain weight. Which you can read a post I did on that HERE

With the added wight I have gain. It  cause me to not enjoy getting dress. I still blogged about  the outfit I was wearing but made sure you couldn't see my stomach. Due to it the biggest thing on my body. I didn't want people to think I was pregnant. Since I have gotten asked in the past if I was.

Well over a month ago. I decide it was time take my life back and get fit again. I started to do a few insanity workout. Along with some Jillian Michaels and some random home workout. Plus running.  What I would do is one day go on a run. Then the next day do a home workout. I did this 6 days a week.  Along with doing this. I was watching what I ate and started to eat health again.

Which a lot of my family and friend think I'm crazy for doing this. They tell me that I look fine. The thing is I'm doing it for ME.

Which with working out and eating right for over a month. I have lost 5.4 pounds. I'm now weighing in at 137.6. I'm starting to feel great again and enjoying getting dress again.

It took me a lot of time to become brave to post these before picture. These picture where taking on May 18, 2014

Last week I decide to start up doing Insanity again. Along with the Insanity diet that goes with it. Since that what I used last time when I lost the 20 pounds.  In 30 days I will be doing an update post on how Insanity is going. Insanity is a 63 days programs.

I'm lucky to have an amazing beachbody coach this time around. Not only is she a beachbody coach. She an amazing blogger too. Make sure you go check out Jessie of Not the Average Bear - A Fitness Blog and she also blogs at JumpingJE.
