fit me for a strait jacket, put me in a padded cell...

If you are friends with me on facebook you know by now that I have two new intense programs that I have started. I am going to post my before pics here, I am showing my stomach so I will be more motivated to really stick to the plan so I have great after pics. The first program is INSANITY and that one is 60 days and then the follow up to that one is INSANITY: The ASYLUM, this one is only 30 days and I can see why. I started these on Monday and I am already down 5lbs!! So here are my before pics and some pics of my new programs and Powerblocks and then all the Beachbody programs that I have. The lighting is horrible and they are taken right after the fit tests and my first Asylum workout, so I am not a beauty queen :-P I love the support I have from family and friends and this journey is going to be AMAZING!!

From left to right: The Asylum, ChaLEAN Extreme, P90X, Turbo Fire, Insanity

Like I have been saying for so long, if anyone wants to come workout with me I would be more then happy to have the company, only if you are ready to bring it and dig deep! These are not easy, you will need to push yourself, but the the end result will be the payoff and I am looking forward to that :-) Much love to all those that support me.

8 tracks...

Haha! I am up way to late listening to songs I remember from so long ago. When I was young my dad had an 8 track player and some of my favorites were The Carpenters and UB40! They make me smile and remember good times when I was young. It is good to reminisce of the "good old days" when I didn't have a care in the world...no responsibility :-P We grow up so fast! I can remember it like it was just yesterday. In the yellow house on E avenue, the first house we lived in when we moved to Iowa.

I remember so many times when the weather was nice I would open the front door to the house, turn the music up real loud and dance like there was a live concert in my living room. I also remember waking up on a school day and it was later then normal so I was worried I was going to be late for school. Dad had to work and after we didn't like going to the babysitter in the morning anymore we stayed home and got ourselves ready. Well on this day I looked outside and there was snow all over the ground and my dad was shoveling, school had been cancelled. I remember I was excited to have my dad home that day.

I also remember a time when dad had to travel and was gone for quite some time. The babysitter we had then was so cool (she was older and one of the popular girls). I am going to go nuts tying to remember the last name of that family...GRRR!! Anyway right before my dad got home she helped us make a heart shaped cake and taught us a dance and song to perform for him when he got back. I can't remember any of it now, but it was fun to learn. GREEN!!!! That is the last name of that family. Not that any of you care that read this, with the exception of my family. I remember I had a HUGE crush on one of the boys in that family Micah.

Sometimes it is fun (and good) to think about the good times from when  you were younger. I realize how far I have come in life. Childhood is fun and I hope that my children will look back and have great memories of their childhood. I love being a mother and l couldn't have asked for better children. Life is grand!

Change That Voice

I love Chalene!! She really knows her schtuff, all you have to do is Change That Voice :-)

hiking with my scout...

I was naughty today and skipped my class so I could spend the day with my scout. I was cold this morning, but it turned out to be such a great day and well worth skipping class for. I will post some of the pics from our hike, but I must warn you I found a dead deer :-D
