Day 63 - I GRADUATED INSANITY!

Well.....I did it! I graduated Insanity, something I never ever thought I could do or would do. I am one happy, proud and confident girl. This program totally changed my life and I could not be happier.

I hope I don't disappoint anyone for making them wait so long for me to update and then barely seeing any changes from my last picture to now. HA! Honestly I don't see much of a difference in my last picture than in the pics I took last night. Mostly I think because I had just eaten and it was right before I went to bed so my stomach was a little bigger than normal. Not an excuse, just explaining. :) I still have more work to do to get my body where I want it but it is definitely better than the very first picture I took 63 days ago. I pray to God I never go back to that and shame on my family and friends for telling me that I looked great then! :) 

Unfortunately I did not measure my body fat so I don't have those numbers handy (I will edit the blog tomorrow with it). Weight has consistently been between 110 & 112, today I weighed in at 111.7. I have to say I am very pleased with the results that I have seen but like I said before there is still more work to be done and I am not stopping here. I will be doing a mix of my own workouts, Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and Hip Hop Abs. I just can't stay away from that darn Shaun T! 

Soooooo here are my pics - 

I always have to end with a thank you to my Husband, my kids, my family and friends helping me through this whole 2 months. I wouldn't have been able to do it without the love, support and motivation you all put into me! I truly have an amazing support system and I am very grateful for it! I will continue to update my progress as I continue with the other programs and workouts. I really hope this inspires and motivates more people to get on the healthy band wagon! I am absolutely no expert and do not claim to be but if you have any questions for me or I can help with anything or just be a motivator for you, let me know! I would love to help. :) 

I just have to leave with one photo that I believe everyone has seen on Facebook but this totally made my day yesterday when I got home from work....my Insanity Diploma - made by Forrest, Ava & Aidyn

My favorite part is the little note to the side that says "We're SO proud of you!" - Forrest, Ava & Aidyn

Curiosity killed the cat......

For all of you who keep asking me when I will be updating my blog again......I will be updating it Monday after I finish my 63 days on Sunday! The pictures seemed to be running together so I figured I would wait and post my last pic when I finish and hopefully there will be BIG results! :) My weight is still fluctuating but I can see big differences in toning and losing body fat. It's great!! 

Also, alot of people have been asking what I will be doing to keep up what I accomplished with Insanity and right now I believe I am going to start Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred once I am done with Insanity but I am not going to do it straight through like I did with Insanity. I may do it every other day and throw in some running (which I despise). 

I just wanted to keep everyone in the loop who keeps asking. I PROMISE to update on Monday my final results! :) 

It's so crazy, I have been told that people in Illinois (not family) have started reading my blog and keeping up with my progress. It's great to know that I am inspiring people from all over not just my immediate circle of friends and family. :) Thanks everyone for your encouraging and motivating words! 

Day 50 - Fit Test

Today I will only be updating my blog with my Fit Test Results! I will be taking pictures tonight but I don't think there is much of a difference, so I won't be posting those unless there is a HUGE difference. Yesterday I killed my fit test, I don't know that I can improve anymore than I have, so my last fit test may not be too exciting. I also did Max Cardio Conditioning yesterday since I had to miss last Monday due to my migraine. Wow am I sore today!! 

Only 2 weeks remain and I can officially say I have graduated INSANITY! Crazy how fast it has gone by and I can't believe I am almost done. I am trying so hard to psych myself up to go really hard these last 2 weeks to get some even better results. I pushed myself really hard yesterday and I'm definitely feeling it today which means I haven't been pushing myself hard enough the last few weeks! Anyway, enough talk.....here are my fit test results. Again, if you have never seen the fit test or done the fit test you will have no idea what I'm talking about. :) The 2nd Fit Test my ankle was very swollen and painful so that is why my results are so bad.

Insanity - Day 42

Well here I am again. I wasn't going to update my blog again until the end of the journey but the pics I took last night, I am way to proud to not share until the end. :)

Also, Hubs and I realized last week that we have been measuring my body fat wrong, I was very disappointed about this! :( The real percentage I started at was %32.50 and I am now at %26. However I am happy that the number has changed quite a bit still. I was really liking that %11 number better though! :)

Here are my stats -

112.5 - my weight keeps fluctuating daily pretty much between 110 & as high as 114 some days. I honestly                    am not worried about the weight aspect of it. I am more concerned with my body fat and being toned so this is just a number to me.

BMI (now correct) - %26

Now for pics!

My biggest difference yet I believe and I am so proud!! I know you guys are probably getting sick of seeing my first day pic but it's all I have to compare. :)

Thanks again to everyone for your constant encouragement and motivation! You all keep me going!!! :)
