No Pain... No Gain!

I have been meaning to post this for a while now. A few people have asked... and I guess if I was brave enough to post the before pics, I'd better be brave enough to post the after. 

I lost a total of 9 inches from my before measurements. The best being around my tummy area, in which I lost almost 3.5 inches. I felt great doing the workouts and even looked forward to doing them everyday. I usually did them when Ethan and Emalina were down for their afternoon nap and Bella was in her room for a quiet time. 

It took me a little longer then it was supposed to and I have to admit, I didn't stick to the routine 100%. But for the most part ever week my dates with Shaun T were... Insane! And I loved every minute of it!!! I guess I'm weird like that! LOL! There's nothing like having a good workout, sweating a lot and feeling great afterwards! 

I didn't quite know exactly how it would turn out, nor if I would really see results. After the first 2 weeks however, I knew that it was going to work after I lost 2 inches off my tummy measurement. 

The only thing I changed in my diet was eating 2 eggs every morning. Other then that... I still ate just as many bags (YES bags) of Cadbury Mini Eggs, gummies, popcorn, cookies, pizza and desserts as I usually do. Sorta wish I had stuck with some kind of meal plan to see the changes I could have gotten. Maybe next time... Haha!

Update: Since I left Germany, I haven't really worked out at all (Thank goodness for a hungry breastfeeding baby). I keep saying to Ben... I'd better start doing something or I'm going to turn into a flabby mess. LOL!

A Date a Day with Shaun T!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Last year, one of my New Years Resolutions was to do INSANITY... That was before I knew I was pregnant. So needless to say, that New Years Resolution did not get accomplished. This year, Insanity is at the top of my New Years list again... This time, I'm not planning on getting pregnant at any point this year (not that we were actually planning on getting pregnant last year either... but very blessed and thankful that we did). Along with Ben and I doing Insanity, I plan on making 2012 the 'best shape of my life' year. 

At some point of every year since September 2007, I have been pregnant! Being pregnant 3 times in 4 years, has definitely taken a toll on my body... So this far I plan on hitting it hardcore and getting in the best shape of my life. I really don't have much baby weight left to lose... only a few pounds. But frankly that is not the point. I want to get back into shape and feel good! 

... Although, having an 8 and a half pound baby, has definitely left me a little more flabby then I want to be... So hopefully with a little ShaunT and training for a 1/2 marathon in Paris in March... I can kick my butt back into shape. 

My goals: Tone up, gain muscle, lose fat, get rid of my muffin top(LOL!), and be able to check of this new years resolution as accomplished!!! Strap on your seat belt... cause here we go! Haha! 

Want to follow along... or even do a little insanity of your own... Jump on the bandwagon and come along. To make sure I stick with my New Years Resolution this year, I am posting before pics and measurements now as apposed to after i finish the 60 day workout... 

Cheers to bringing in the New Year with a little insanity!!!
