What a difference 6 months can make!

This is going to be kind of an apology and thank you letter to friends and family! :) Please bare with me as I may ramble a little bit. Also, I will not be answering questions or going into details so don't ask. I just feel like this is something I need to get off my chest. 


So about 6 months into my pregnancy with Aidyn I started becoming a very different person and someone I didn't recognize at all, someone I didn't like at all. I was slipping into a very dark period in my life. I had a lot of things going on in my life. A job I hated, never getting to be with my family, stressed to the max & had people hurting me that didn't care that they were. I slipped into a very bad depression, I tried to put on a smile and live life but I wasn't living life, I was just living and trying to make it through each day. All of this went on for about 2 1/2 - 3 years. I honestly didn't even recognize myself anymore. I was always negative about everything, never had a positive thing to say. I started becoming very mean to my friends and family but it was my way of trying to find help (no one understood that). I ended up having Aidyn 7 weeks early due to all of this nonsense and today that hurts me so bad that I let things and myself get so bad that I put myself and Aidyn's life in danger. I lost friendships that were near and dear to me and I also pushed people away that wanted to be in my life but that was because I felt like no one wanted to be my friend, wanted to be around me or wanted to love me. Now I realize that no one wanted to be a part of my life because of ME. Not because of them but because of how negative I was about everything. 


With that being said, I want to apologize to those who I pushed away and to those of you whose friendships I lost because of my own self. I always blamed everything on everyone else and I didn't take any blame for myself and my actions. I hope you all can forgive me! 


To all of you who were there for me through all of it I have no words other than THANK YOU. Those words are not even adequate but I can't come up with anything else, I will never be able to repay you. I found out who my true friends were through the whole process and I am truly grateful for each and everyone of you. You all know who you are!


About 6 months ago I started working on myself and I think I have finally become full circle! I am the happiest I have ever been in every part of my life. I hope everyone can see the changes I have made. I have met so many wonderful people in the last 6 months - a year and they have all had a profound impact on my life. One thing that I have learned is that no one wants to be around a Negative Nancy all the time! :) Since I am happy and positive I have more friendships that I could have ever imagined, people want to spend time with me, they want to be around me and one thing is I know they love me. I finally feel worthy of love! Life could not be better for me right in this moment. 


Life is good & I am a happy girl! 

Day 29 - Day 1 of Week 5

It's me again! Back with another update on my Insanity workout. I have to say I am feeling GREAT!! One of the biggest things for me through this whole workout has been not having migraines. As most of you know I suffer with debilitating migraines and they use to be DAILY. I am on a medication that I take at the start of a migraine and I use to have to take one EVERYDAY for my migraines, the pharmacy would only fill 18 pills at a time, well it doesn't take rocket science that there are 30 or 31 days in a month so with me having a migraine everyday I would run out of the pills pretty quickly and they wouldn't refill my prescription until a month had passed so most of the time I was out of pills for about 2 weeks before I could refill them. Since starting the Insanity program and eating healthier I have had MAYBE 4 headaches in 5 weeks! That is a miracle in itself and I still have over half of my pills left (at this time normally I would be begging to get my script refilled). That is a great feeling!! Another great thing is that I have people telling me everyday that I am inspiring them. That is an amazing feeling for someone to tell me they are inspired by me. I do not have the best self confidence so to hear someone tell me that it helps a lot! I pray that I can continue to inspire and motivate people. Anyway enough blabbing here are my stats and pics. Again not too much a seen difference this week but my numbers have changed and I am totally stoked about that!


Stats from Day 1/Week 1 just to compare to where I am now.


Weight - 113
BMI - %25


Stats from Day 29/Week 5


Weight - 110.4
BMI - %11


and now the pics

Sorry the pics aren't side by side. Blogger is not my friend today and was giving me a fit so this is the only way it would let me add the pics! Hopefully you can still see the difference. :)

Again thank you everyone for all your support and encouragement!! It means the world to me. 

Training Insane

Well it has been a week since my last post. There isn't must of a difference this week since it has only been a week but I thought I would post anyway if not for anyone but myself. :) I am still so happy and excited that I have started this workout and the progress that I am making.

Stats & pics from Day 1/Week 1, just so you have something to compare to.

Weight - 113
BMI - %25


Stats from Day 21/Week 4. Again no changes in my numbers but I still see a slight change in my body.

Weight - 111
BMI - %15

 And just for giggles.....Ava likes to workout with us every night and she wanted to show everyone her new muscles from doing Insanity -

Again, thank you all for all your wonderful compliments on my last post. I have not been happy with myself for a very long time and I am finally making the change so that I can be happy again and it feels so good that my friends and family are joining me in the process! Thank you all for your support, encouragement and motivation. It means the world to me!!

"Insane" weightloss journey!

On June 25th I started a journey that I never thought I would ever be able to stick with. Getting fit and healthy doing the "Insanity" workout. I was motivated by my wonderful Husband to start it and he has truly been the one holding me together while doing this. He completed his 60 days about a week and a half ago and he lost 45 lbs doing so and is in amazing shape now. He restarted his 60 days when I started my first round and man is he a beast. LOL

Here are my stats & pics from from Day 1/Week 1 - Please do not laugh or judge, I had no idea Forrest was getting my face in the first picture! :)

Weight - 113
BMI - %25

Here are my stats and pics at Day 15 - beginning week 3

Weight - 111
BMI - %15

This is one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life (I've never been able to stick with anything that had to do with working out) but seeing the progress I am making already, I WILL complete the 60 days if it kills me! I will be updating my blog from time to time with my progress so be on the lookout. :)

P.S. I would encourage anyone who is wanting to get in shape to do INSANITY! It is hard but all worth it!
