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
Thursday
I got of work and was happy because I didn't have to go back to work until Sunday night. Marlan picked me up and wasn't talking to me for whatever reason he made up in his head. I got a little sleep but had to be up for the most part with the kids while Marlan was at work and his little brother in school.
I had my CPR class that I had to do for my program I will be taking this month. they said it would be from 6pm - 10pm, but we got out around 8pm which was a good thing. I got to go home and spend some time with the kids and make a little something to eat. We went to bed pretty early today because Marlan had to work ... By the end of the night he was talking to me a little lol
Friday
I had to drop Marlan of at work so I could have the car because Malan had her 2 year old doctors appointment. I was pretty tired though still but it was cool. Everything went well at the doctors and Malan is growing and is healthy all over. Malan now weighs 31 pound 10 oz, 36 inches long, and her head circumference is 48cm. Malan also had to get her hemoglobin level checked which came back good. Malan was pretty mad because she was due to get a shot, she had her 2nd hep A and cried for like 2 seconds. After that she was fine. On the ride home she went to sleep in the car (I don't know what it is but her and the baby always go to sleep after getting their shots.
Today I also got some cleaning done, A LOT. I deep cleaned our whole apartment which took me all day. I would have finished a lot earlier but with two children who need constant attention it was pretty hard and I would take breaks because I had to do other things. I was happy by the end of the night because I knew I could relax all day tomorrow and not worry about cleaning up to much.
Saturday
Today seemed like it went by rather quickly. I hung out with Marlan and the kids. Marlan wanted to spend some time with me and watch "Hot Tub Time Machine" before he went out later on. As much as I talked sh*t about not wanting to watch the DVD because I have seen it so many times, I still did and I enjoyed it lol. Today I also sewed Malan a skirt, which turned out really good for my first attempt. With the rest of the material I will be making me a dress. All I really have to do is fit the dress to my size because I ended up buying the original dress from goodwill because I liked the print on the fabric and used the bottom part to make Malans skirt. Marlan said that's what me and her can wear when we all take family pictured for baby Marlans 6 months. That would be nice because its something I made. Also today baby Marlan pulled himself up using the couch, me and Marlan was so shocked and he was just standig there laughing. This little boy is growing up so quick and continues to amaze us everyday.
Sunday
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!! Today was a "normal" day, nothing special or different. Well I cant say nothing special because everyday I spend with my children is special :)
Marlan was sick (Self inflicted) which added to my emotional state I was already in and how mad I was at him. I spent time with Malan and baby Marlan and ended up finishing little Nates jacket (Marlans little brother). It turned out really nice but I had to change the studs because when I bleached it, like a fool I left studs on there and they changed color so I had to take them off and put new ones on. After I finished that I ended up laying down to sleep which was around 5pm and by the time I woke up it was almost 9pm (when I had to be getting up foo work).
Overall the weekend was nice. Filled with so many mixed emotions ...

Weekend Recap
Thursday
My sister in England had her baby, I was so excited about that and was anxiously waiting for some pictures so I could see what he looked like. I was happy that he was a healthy baby boy. I also spoke to my sister Ganiyat for a little while and caught up on a few more things. I cooked some chicken, mac & cheese with string beans. I really have been slacking cooking "real food" it feels like during the weekdays while I work I don't even have time to do that and also Malan had become very fussy with what she eats. We went to bed pretty early that night also because Marlan had work the next day.
Friday
Baby Marlan turned 5 months, I cant believe how fast time is flying by and how big he is getting, it really is upsetting to me for some reason how him and Malan are just growing right before our eyes. Today me and the kids were pretty much couch/ bed potatoes. I stayed on the couch for the majority of the day while Marlan was in work. Marlans little cousin Bookie came over to just chill because she was bored at home and wanted to get out of the house. It felt like I barley saw Malan all day today also, because she was in my room laying down for the most part of the day, I would go in there every once in a while to see if she needed anything and to bring her some food. I even went in and she was fast asleep.
Saturday
My friend Lindsey from work came over with her kids so we could hang out, she usually comes once every weekend but shes been pretty busy lately so she hasn't been over the past two weeks. We was chilling, talking, and watching the kids play and mess up the apartment. I was so excited today also because I made baby Marlan a bottle and I was holding it telling him to come get it to see what he would do. At first he was laying on his stomach then the next thing we know he pushed himself up into a sitting position. I was sitting there in shock like did he really just do this, I couldn't believe it and I didn't even have the camera. After that he drunk his bottle and was cool after that. We ordered some pizza hut for us and the kids, I had my plate on the floor and baby Marlan really "arm crawled" towards my plate, so I moved him back and went to get the camera so I could video him because this was the first time Ive seen him do this. He kept making his way towards my plate. I was so shocked and happy. My babies are growing up so quick its kind of sad
Sunday
I woke up to find Marlan sprawled out laying on my legs, smiled then laid back down and went to sleep. That's a shame I didn't even know he was laying on me, I didn't even hear him come in "last night", I must of been really tired. Today we all was being lazy for the most part, I had some sewing I wanted to do all weekend really and still by today I didn't get any of it done. Me, Marlan, Malan and baby Marlan was laying in bed really all day today you can say. I took a little nap before having to be at work later tonight.
Overall I had a good weekend with my family and enjoyed Lindsey and the kids coming over. Me and Marlan had the usual conversations we have, I guess I just cant "get over" a lot of things. I do love that man with all of me though!
