I feel I did a lot better with the pure cardio, I'm getting better with the moves, the push ups still kill me though, my upper body just isn't so strong. I ended up taking like a 5 minute break before I started the cardio abs, this DVD kind of kills me but I was able to go a lot longer this time with certain moves. Now the jumping I find if I do it at my own pace I can do it a lot better and get a few done.
Also today I got to take a little nap because we took a test in my administrative medical procedures lecture class so we didn't end up having the lab so I got to go home and sleep which helped a lot.

Insanity: Day 16 Plyometric and Cardio
6/11/13
I am super tired sitting here at work, I had maybe 3 hours sleep all day if that. Lets not mention working all night and then going to class after work. In between getting Marlan from work I TRIED to take a nap but that didn't happen as much as I wanted it to. When we got back home I ended up cleaning up and then finally doing the work out. I feel it went well, again I made it through the whole warm up without stopping or getting some water. Malan and baby Marlan did keep deciding to get in front of me when trying to work out but Marlan did do a good job of getting them and keeping them occupied for a while until they would come back and do it again. Malan has a thing with trying to drink my water then when I do get a break and want to drink some, its almost all gone thanks to her. All in all it went well, I wish I could just go home and sleep... We know that wont happen though,since I have class like all day tomorrow! ughhhh

Insanity: Day 15 Fit Test
Day 1 ....................................................................................................................Day 15
This time around, the fit test seemed a lot easier and I was proud with the results. I even managed to drop 1.6 pounds which was shocking and even lost some inches. I'm happy with the results and will continue to work hard to get where I want to be. I felt like I did a lot better with the jumps also, more than I usually do when I'm doing the actual exercise. For now ...

Insanity: Day 11 Cardio Recovery, 12 Cardio Power & Resistance, 13 Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs, 14 REST!
Day 11 Cardio recovery - This day was a pretty good day for me, I like the recovery part. Although you still sweat and to me it is still a work out, its just not as intense as the other day. I 've noticed I'm getting back flexible and can stretch a lot deeper now. My body isn't as sore as it used to be either :)
Day 12 Cardio power and resistance - I'm getting so much better with the warm up, like I said before, I can make it through the whole 3 rounds and not stop for water or a break even. This work out is still hard for me somewhat, the jumps for me are still not "on point". I am better than the first time I did it, I think I need to find a better balance when I'm jumping and landing. Also the push ups, I'm just going to say, that is not my strongest point, AT ALL.
Day 13 Pure cardio and cardio abs - What to say about this, the pure cardio today was better than last time, still though them jumps, for some reason I just cant get the hang of them :( . Also today was my first time doing cardio abs, and boy oh boy this was something else. They didn't do the "regular" ab work outs that are normally done, they took it to a whole other level. This was pretty hard for me. Who am I kidding, this was really hard for me. I feel like I want to do this after every work out I do now though, just so I can get better and get a better result with my abs, I don't have yet.
Day 14 REST - My favourite day thus far :) lol. Truthfully though, although this is a rest day, I still feel like I be wanting to do some type of insanity DVD. I was super tired today though so I'm pretty glad it was a rest day!

Insanity: Day 10 Plyometric Cardio Circuit
Did I mention that Wednesdays are NOT my day at all. Lets say I go to work Tuesday night at 9:45pm then get off Wednesday morning at 7:45am. Drop Marlan off at work by 8am then go home for like 20 minutes or so before my class starts at 9am. So I have class 9am-10-06am, 10:30am-1:00pm, go home for like 30 minutes then back in another class 2pm-4:30pm, pick Marlan up from work then go back home. Did you see me mention SLEEP anywhere in there? Yep didn't think so, that's maybe because by this time I still haven't slept.
I get home and just want to get this work out over with so I can some type of sleep, I am super tired, my eyes hurt, everything just to much.
The work out: HARD is an understatement, although I'm getting better with repetition and doing the sets more times than I did before, as well as also doing the warm up the 3 times through, not stopping or getting any water (pats self on back). I still cant get the hang of jumping down, doing push up, running it out, jumping back up then doing it all over again. I do it as many times as I can, I still end up doing "girl" push ups because my arms just become so weak holding up my own body. Also being in the push up position then having to jump side to side, that has me laying on the floor about to pass out.
Overall, I am still proud of myself for getting through the work out and completing it with no major issues, except wanting to sleep (side eye...
Well I got like 2 hours sleep, if that and then I had to be back at work. I'm just glad tonight is my last night then I will be of until Sunday night because I seriously need sleep
Until tomorrow...

Insanity: Day 9 Pure Cardio
6/4/13
Although before, I said this was the hardest work out, I still fell its hard but I did a lot better this time around. Today I made it through the whole warm up without stopping or even getting any water. I was pretty proud of myself and wasn't as tired as I though I would be. I'm still not super good at doing the push ups but I tried a lot harder today, although I mainly still did "girl" push ups, but I would rather do that than nothing at all.
I'm still so motivated to work out even with the lack of sleep I'm continuing to get thanks to being a full time student, mum and "housewife". I cant wait until Thursday morning because 1) I don't have class on Thursdays, and 2) I wont have work until Sunday night.
I even went to walmart today to do grocery shopping but you know I had to pick up some extra things. I got myself a yoga mat, a pink one. After I brought it I felt bad because I should have brought the blue one so Marlan can work out on it when he decides to start. Although I don't think it makes a difference just because its pink. I also brought a scale, the electric type one where you stand on it and it digitally tells you your weight. Although I like the one we already had, i just found it hard to know if it was telling me my right weight or not. mmmm. I also brought a jump rope, going to put that to use sometime while working out.
Well I've got day 9 down, lets see how tomorrow goes!

Insanity: Day 7 Rest and Day 8 Cardio Power & Resistance
Well day 7 was a rest day which I was kind of debating should I just do some type of work out or should I rest like it tells me to. Well figures I rested, after those past 6 days I think I deserved it though. I find that I'm eating a lot more better and I've cut out the junk food like chips, chocolate and all that "fun" stuff. Funny enough its not bothering me to much either. When I'm at work I usually would just eat junk food because I'm sitting here for 10 hours over night, so I guess I would just be eating just because. Now if I do eat i grab some cereal, an apple, or something.
Day 8 - Cardio Power & Resistance (back here again)
This work out is still a pretty tough one to do, although this is my second time doing it. It's those push ups that be killing me, for the life of me I cannot do them. I have to push down spread my legs apart and keep doing it moving. I just cant do it. Instead I do the "girl" push ups then follow on with the rest of the work out.
With this work out I've seen a difference in my form and my willing to push further and be able to do a lot more reps than the first time around (Well not like 100 more but you know I'm better this time than the first time). The jumps we have to do, I always feel bad doing those since we live in an apartment, I wonder what the woman downstairs thinks about all that banging every 2 seconds (she hasn't complained so cant b to bad)
Well I made it through day 8 so lets keep it moving :)

Insanity: Day 3 Cardio Power and Resistance, 4 Cardio Recovery, 5 Pure Cardio, 6 Plyometric Cardio Circuit
I just got done finishing up day 6 of the insanity, and boy was this a tough week. That's not even mentioning the lack of sleep I got all week. With work, school, and 2 children, it has been such a crazy week for me.
Day 3: Cardio Power and Resistance
Day 4: Cardio Recovery
Today was the easiest day of this week, It was to do with more stretching and recovering from everything that I've done thus far, mainly the cardio from the day before.
Day 5: Pure Cardio
Now this was the hardest work out I have done thus far or should I say I've ever done in my life. I didn't do this until around 10pm or so because I was busy doing homework all day and making sure I stay ahead of my classes. I was also very tired and wanted to just lay down and go to sleep, but I pushed play and let the work out begin. I felt like I was literally going to die
Day 6: Plyometric Cardio Circuit
I did this work out on day 2 and I can honestly say I can see a difference in my form and me pushing through the work out a lot easier. Now I'm not saying it was easy, because it was far from. I am saying that it was easier than the very first time I did it. Malan even started trying to join in while I was working out, she was TRYING to copy what they was doing on tv and running arounf laughing while baby Marlan was trying to follow her around.
Well I can now say I have officially finished my first week, my body hurts a little, but I will keep pushing through so I can get the results I want :)
p.s I need to start blogging right after I do the work out so I can really remember every detail of what I was doing :/

Insanity: Day 2 Plyometric Cardio Circuit
Well today I got of work at 7:45am, dropped Marlan of at work by 8am, dropped his brother at school by 8:30am and was in class by 9am. Class didn't finish until 11:30am then I had to go home and stay awake with the kids because baby Marlan had a doctor opt at 1:30pm. I got back home around 2pm and had to pick up Marlans brother by 3:00pm (still no sleep). I got to get around 2 hours and that's all Ive gotten all day. Yet I still pressed play
I would like to say that this work out didn't get its name from anywhere, this program really is insane. It had my heart racing, and the sweat was dripping of me. Sean did a good job of pushing you and letting you know that he was there with you and pushing right along with you. Right now my legs hurt (it doesn't help that my foot is bruised due to a accident). My arms don't feel as bad but I can feel a little something going on in them. There were many times that I felt like I was going to throw up (thank god for those 30 second water breaks). It made me feel a little better to see other people on the DVD getting tired and taking breaks. It didn't make me feel as bad about myself because the program is hard.
So I made it through my second day and I'm still here. Lets see what tomorrow has to bring.

Weekend Recap: A little creative
I did my first "refashion" project with a dress I purchased from Goodwill, it turned out better than I expected for my first time. I hit a few bumps and made it harder than it actually was but in the end I loved the outcome. I will have to take a picture wearing it so you can see how it fits. Before it was really big, I took in both sides and also took in the sleeves so they would be fitted versus hanging of. I also added a cute little bow and threaded out the edges to make it look a little different
I also got back in the gym this weekend which was nice after not going for a while due to mother nature not being so much on my side. I can't forget that I also ordered some shoes offline and let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised how fast they got there and also how cute they were.
All and all I had a nice weekend... Every weekend is nice when I'm spending it with the ones I love though :)
Please excuse the "not so good" pictures. I quickly took them on my tablet

Weekend Recap
My weekend begins on Thursday morning, seeing as that's when I get off work and wont return until Sunday night.
On Thursday I ended up going to the gym after work finally then to Walmart to grab some things for my upcoming project I'm planning on doing for Malan. I also grabbed a movie from the red box for me and Marlan to watch while we ate later that night. I must say that Twilight breaking dawn part 2 was a really good movie and defiantly worth watching. I've watched all of them now and I'm pretty sad that there will be no more coming out.
On Friday me and Malan went to Walmart yet again. Poor Malan was so tired she ended up falling asleep in the shopping cart and walking around I kept hearing people like "aww how cute" "she must be tired" "look at the little girl"
Yes I stopped to snap a picture of this cute moment, my baby girl sleeping while I was getting some shopping done.
I brought some things for the apt, but my favourite purchase of the day was my sewing machine. After searching long and hard trying to figure out what machine I wanted to get and which one would be a good price for a start up first time machine, I ended up going with the Brother CE8080PRW Project Runway
I was so excited to get this, I went to the self check out at Walmart (bad idea) I was there for over 20 minutes while they tried to assist me because the stupid machine wouldn't work, Malan woke up by this time and was acting very fussy because she was ready to be at home laying down instead of sitting in the uncomfortable trolley. Finally after what seemed like forever we got to go home.
Baby Marlan was sleep per usual, he's really been sleeping a lot recently. My co- worker said its normal because he is having a growth spurt. Me and Malan was also going to start her little project but it was getting dark outside and it was pretty cold so we thought to save it for Saturday seeing as Marlan said it would be warmer (very wrong)
On Saturday we was all hanging out, the baby played a lot with Malan, he's becoming a lot more aware of his surroundings and wants to follow you everywhere. He loves being with his dad Marlan. Anytime he comes in the room baby Marlan will look at him until he picks him up. He laughs a lot with Malan and keeps rolling over. Now we have to watch him when hes on the couch so he wont fall. I cleaned up a little with Malans help of course. Then I plugged up my sewing machine so I could see what it was made of. Watching videos on YouTube helped a lot with what to and not to do. I like my machine so far, and the different stitches it does are really cute.
We was expecting company, Malan ended up falling asleep while waiting and not long after that baby Marlan went to sleep and I followed. I didn't even know Marlan had came back from the gym I was so tired. My friend from work ended up having to cancel which was fine with me because I got to catch up on a little sleep and the kids would see her family tomorrow anyway seeing as it will be her sons birthday
Now leading me to Sunday, the day I pretty much dread because I know I will be returning to work later at night. Don't get me wrong, I do like my job, I just like sleep and spending time with my family a lot more.
Well I woke up around 8am with baby Marlan while Malan and Marlan stayed sleep. When baby Marlan got his bottle he ended up falling back to sleep anyways but I was up because I had to pump as well as I really wanted some pancakes and eggs so I made some. I got in the shower then woke the baby up to put him in the tub then later on Malan so they could be ready for the party at chuck e cheese that started at 11am. We still managed to be 1 hour late though. Malan had so much fun, she was running around playing, dancing, eating and making new friends. It was so nice seeing our daughter enjoy herself like she did. Baby Marlan was sleep for most of he time we were there with his dad. When he was awake he was just laughing and looking around like "where are we". After leaving the party we all came home and took a "nap". All of us was so tired.
All and all i enjoyed the weekend spending time with my family and watching my children enjoy themselves. Now I'm back at work sitting her eyes watering and steady yawning. I need to find something to do to keep me awake and occupied because I still have 8 hours left to go :(

Working Out ... Again
I joined the gym again sometime in February but it's been hard for me to go. Although I am very motivated it seems I come on my cycle every few days thanks to this wonderful thing called birth control I have placed in my arm. I even gave up drinking anything that isn't water or milk.I gave up chocolate for new years and easing my way of the candy. I'm just trying to get my stomach toned and get into shape again. I really do enjoy working out when I get the chance and when I'm in the gym I feel a lot more motivated like I can do anything but then that time of the month comes and I start to feel like I fall of and get to a point where I'm like forget this. I'm really trying to get back down to around 140 again, which means loosing around 20 pounds which seems like it will take forever to do. With working 10 hours over night, having a almost 2 year old and 4 month old, being a house mummy, getting my plans for college in action, trying to spend time with my partner, and finding time to sleep you would think the gym would be the last thing on my mind. As Of March 1st I weighed 162 pounds and hopefully by the end of the summer I hope to drop at least 10 pounds if it's not to much to ask. I'm thinking about getting the p90x so when I can't go to the gym I can find time to do that at home. Hopefully something gives though...

Week 1 : Work out update
It has officially been my first five days at the gym and although its only been five days I'm starting to see a difference in my progress. On the treadmill on Friday I ran 8 whole minutes straight on 6 (speed) and I still wasn't tired but seeing as I'm doing interval training on the treadmill I slowed down and speed back up again. I'm eating good and taking my vitamins. I'v even lost almost two pound which I'm pretty happy with. On Friday, me and Marlan (Malans dad) went to the gym at the same time so we put Malan in the daycare in the gym. She really enjoyed it and the woman told us she didn't even cry. Were thinking we might do that more often now and it gives her the opertunity to play and see more children of different ages.

Day 1 : Gym time
Well today was the first day beginning my work out. I went to the gym after I did a ten hour shift at work from 10pm the previous night, till 8am today. I'm going to go everyday after work for one week just to see how that goes, to determine if I can do it and get enough sleep before I go back to work at night time. If that doesn't work out I will have to go around 4-5pm when Malans dad goes and Malan can go in the gym daycare.
My body is kind of in pain, I may of over did it for my first time back in the gym. The first thing I did when I got in there was hit the treadmill. I ran for 6 minutes on the speed of 6, which may not seem like a lot to people and it was never seeming like a lot to me either when I was actually "fit" and ran on the treadmill everyday. I need to realize I'v not worked out in a LONG time so I need to be easy and take my time. After running those 6 minutes and almost passing out, I walked on a speed of 3.5 for 20 minutes, ran for another 4 minutes on the speed of 6, then did my cool down for 5 minutes. When I got of that treadmill I felt like I was floating on air and my legs where hurting. After the threadmill I did various different excercises on the equipment to work on my arms, aswell as light weights. I then worked on my legs a little and did some abb crunches.
Basically today I was all over the place with my work out, testing out the equipment and seeing which ones would best help me achieve my goal in the long run. Tommorow I'm planning on having a routine and working on different things on different days in order to give various parts of my body a rest.
So overal today was good, although my body is now in pain and everytime I get up to walk my legs hurt and even my arms are pretty tired. Its all worth it though, today was just day one, tommorow is day two, so on and so forth. After a while my body will get use to "working out", until then I will be hurting and complaining lol

Out Of Character
Right I would never normally do this, but I'm trying something different. I would never tell anybody my weight, let alone broadcast it over the internet for more than likely the world to see if they choose. This year I'm planning on working on all of them issues I have though and I'm learning that if I'm not comfortable with the way I look I can ork on that (which I am) the right way!
My body still hasn't got back to the way it was, yes I have stretch marks (which I'm using different lotions and things like that to fade them away). I need to realize I'v had a baby and everything won't just fall back into "place" because I want it to.
So ... Before I was pregnant I weighed 144 pounds which was an okay weight for my height of 5'6,and also the type of body shape I had. At the end of my pregnancy I weighed 197 pounds *geshhh*
As of January 1st 2012 I weigh 153 pounds. I'm starting my gym membership as of Monday 9th January 2012. I will attend the gym after I get off work at 8am from mon-thur but on Friday I will go at a different time. Since Malans dad goes to the gym everyday around 4-5pm its better for me to go earlier so he can watch her, then when its time for him to go I can watch her. Anyways I will stay there for around 2-3hours to work out. Saturday and Sunday will be my resting days seeing as I dont work either of those days :)
I'm not really worried about what the scale says, I just want to get back into shape and look good in my eyes. I want to tone different parts on my body.
Hopefully by my 21st birthday (20th June 2012) I will look and feel alot better about myself.
After my birthday I'm going to continue working out but just not at the gym asmuch, I'm still stuck between two work our videos though. By then my mind should be made up.
I'm starting to drink lots of water, take my vitamins daily, aswell as cutting alot of different foods out of my diet.
So this is the beginning of a long but much needed journey for me!
