Week 11

Two more weeks technically, but I'm already planning my next challenge.  Being in the middle of my second round of Insanity is going to help me keep going when that final day comes.  The hubby has his PT test on the 27th, so we are planning a big date night out to celebrate his test and my challenge.  So as this challenge is coming to it's last leg, I thought it would be nice to look back.

How did I feel before:  I was tired, cranky, negative, LAZY, hungry all the time, paranoid and lacking self-confident.

How do I feel now:  I am happy almost all the time.  I am more aware of my surroundings, and living more in the moment instead of thinking about how unhappy I am with my body.  I get dressed in REAL clothes almost every day.  I run errands with the kid and it doesn't feel like torture.  We go to the park almost every day.  I get on the floor and play with her!

How did I look:  I was wearing the same thing every day.  Comfy yoga pants and tank tops from Target.  They were serving the purpose of my pajamas and my real clothes.  When I would go tutor, I would wear jeans and long sleeves to "cover" up.

How do I look now:  I have about 4 pairs of jean shorts right now that I am rocking every day.  I'm way more confident in them, and so I love to actually get dressed every day.

The biggest difference has been my quality of life.  I sometimes find myself regretting how little I did before and how much I complained, but I figure it's in the past so let it go, and just keep living this new lifestyle!  I love how my choices have affected the love ones around me too :)  My rest days have become kind of challenging because I am actually bored and lost when I don't get my workout it.  But I know my body needs it!

So this week, I'm going to push even harder with Insanity.  Last week I was a little slow and just remembering the old moves from the first time around.  I need to keep drinking water, and I am going to work on getting rid of extra seasonings again.  I got kind of relaxed about it over the last couple of weeks :)  Time to get back on track 100% and PUSH!!!!    It's go time!
