I have drop my running down from 3 days a week to one day a week. Due to insanity is working my legs out good. On May 22 my legs hurt so bad I told myself I would just run 2 miles but in my head I was out to do 5.50 miles. In the end I pushed myself and did what I was out to do and plus some more.  

My running goal are to run a 10k. Also in March of 2015 to run the semi de Paris marathon. So I have been working my way up to ran 13.1 miles. Right now I'm not paying attention to my time. I'm paying attention to the distance. 

If you can't run right now and you want to. I say take it slow. Go out there and run what you can. Then stop walk and start back running again. That what I had to do a the beginning and look at me now. I'm running 5.25 mile with out having to walk. 

HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY.

Hello Everyone. For today photo of the day word on Instagram is black and white. So I knew I want to wear an outfit around the color for today outfit. As I was taking a shower after my work out. I was thinking what I could wear. Then it hit me why not wear my fashion blogger shirt. Since I brought it in March and haven't worn it yet. I was super happy to find this shirt in the PX. That I got overly excited about it. That my hubby said since you are that happy over the shirt you don't need it.  Well I was bring the shirt home no matter what he said.  Plus he knew how happy the shirt made me. That we would buy it anyway. 

One reason why this shirt was just sitting in a drawer for a little over a month. Was I didn't like how it made my stomach look but with working out now for over a month. I have gain my confidence back and have been feeling great about myself again. So it was time to give the shirt another try. Which I'm super happy I did. There something about this shirt that I just love.  

 

When it came to shoe to wear with this outfit I was going to go with black sandals but once I saw that today is fabulous flats in the marvelous May Style challenge that Curvy Girl on the Run is host on Instagram. I knew I had to go with my hot pink flats. Since the color pink always puts me in a good mood. 

I hope you all have a great weekend. This weekend I will be going to a birthday party. I leave you today with one of the songs I really loving right now. That I play it so much that my hubby is sick of hearing it. 

HAVE A GREAT FRIDAY.

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.
