Journey to Shopping Dreams_Week 7
Journey to Shopping Dreams_Week 7
I'M BACKKKKK!!!!!!
I've been MIA with my workouts for two weeks due to stress in my life. I couldn't keep up with the stress and working out but i got back to my workouts because i am determined to reach my goals and change my life forever!!!
Updated Progress Pictures
MESSAGE BOARD: MoLove2025 CHANGING WORKOUT.....so its like this i get bored with workouts easily so i like to change it up every 30 days or so. Now i was on Insanity (loved the intensity)....not that i cant finish it but i dont think i am ready for month two yet. I dont want to repeat month one again so i am going to try 30day shred with some resistance strength training and some additional cardio for the next 30days starting tomorrow. Later on i will return to Insanity and complete the entire 60 days straight through so for now i am going to up my endurance level to prepare for an insane workout.

Sunday March 11, 2012
(Day 1 of 30day shred Level 1) Today was the first day of Jillian Michaels 30 day shred....it was great the month of insanity sure proved helpful but because i havent worked out in about two weeks it was a great workout. The workout went quick which i love because i dont like long videos. HR average was 166/85%
Monday March 12, 2012
(Day 2 JM 30day shred) my HR was 164/84% . also i used my resistance bands for the weights today i think i am going to alternate days using those with the workout. I feel all-some afterwards. I feel like i just let a lot of stress leave my body. i am glad to back to my workouts they make me feel less stressed.
MESSAGE BOARD: MoLove2025 i keep getting coupons in the mail for clothes and shoes at the places i shop the most......it is motivation to lose weight but its so sad cause i want to go shopping. Hopefully those same coupons will come once i get to my 1st and 2nd goal!!!!
MESSAGE BOARD: MoLove2025 stress is really killing my calorie goals.....i am barely making it to 1200....i dont know what to do....ive lost my appetite for food.
Tuesday March 13, 2012
(Day 3 JM 30day shred) I am really feeling the burn in my legs which makes me feel like i am pushing hard and soon that pain will go away. I am glad the workout is only 30 minutes because thats all the time i had. I made sure to get it in before i left for the day.

Today i didnt workout because the first three days of the workout has my body sore. So not to overwork or strain anything i decided to take a rest day and continue tomorrow.
Thursday March 15, 2012
(Day 4 JM 30day shred) its amazing how a 30 min workout can really get you going. I'm really loving this DVD. Hopefully i can lose 10 to 15 lbs doing this workout. We will see how things go.
Friday March 16, 2012
(Day 5 JM 30day shred) HR was around 170 most of the workout. I waited till the end of the day before dinner to workout. I had more energy to push harder which always sounds good to me. Im glad i am sticking with my workouts.....i will be smaller and healther soon enough.
Saturday March 17, 2012
(Day 6 JM 30day Shred) Wow today i felt like it didnt take as much to complete the workout. I am glad that i can handle the workout with little to no rests in-between. I still pushed myself and it showed threw the sweet that was coming off of my body. I cant wait to see the 30 day results.
Sunday March 18, 2012
(Day 7 JM 30day shred) today i almost missed my workout because i feel asleep and when i woke up i didnt feel like working out. I gave my self some time and got my booty up and worked out. I am so glad i did. I think in the next two months people are going to see a big change in my weight. I am going to get to my goal soon enough i am in no hurry this isnt a race for me but something to change my life forever!!!!! #Dedication

INSANITY WEEK 4
Monday February 20, 2012
Weigh-In: Remember last thurdsay i bought a new scale.
Week 5: 255 lbs Week 6: 253.8 lbs Lost: 1.2 lbs
(Week 4 Day 22 Insanity). This morning i didnt feel like working out but after eating breakfast and seeing people on MFP logging there workouts made me want to go ahead and do it. I think i didnt want to do it because it was pure cardio and cardio abs today. Yea in my mind they are hard but once i am done with them i dont see why i thought i wouldnt be able to push through. Today's average HR was 172/90%. Dedication and patience is the key to weight-loss success.
Tuesday February 21, 2012
(Week 4 Day 23 Insanity). I am feeling way stronger than when i first started insanity. Im kinda ready to start month 2 and really see the result. The results i saw from others were in the first month they had a little change and then at the end of the second month you really see the result of insanity. I am glad i am getting stronger and healthier. I am not tired for no reason and i feel my brain is working just a little bit better than it was. Lets finish out month 1 strong so we can see the results of month 2. DIG DEEPER!!!
Wednesday February 22, 2012
I went to a banquet this evening so to make sure i didnt go over i eat light in the morning so i could enjoy the food and worry about the calories because i actually had a lot of green vegetables and i only drank water. Except for the two yuenglings i had at ruby Tuesdays i was actually surprised that two of those were only 256 calories 24oz that's equivalent to 3 glasses of water. I still managed to stay under goal and drink enough water and i didn't even workout today. My Carbs are still higher than i want but i recently changed them to 30% which lowered them and i am adjusting. I'm getting better.
MESSAGE BOARD: MoLove2025 i don't know if i am going to get to my workout today....woke up earlier than expected today.....full and busy day(im just getting home 10pm)...now i am just tired.....i could count the extra walking i did today but i think im gonna pass and just consider today a rest day
Thursday February 23, 2012
Today i got up and went to a career fair so i can obtain a career in my field. (Architectural/Civil"Structural" Engineering). I didnt get my work out in again today and i am disapointed in myself for that. I know i did do alot of walking around campus but that isnt enough for me to count. I still managed to stay under my calorie goal but it wasnt the best kind of food for me (PIZZA). Overall it wasnt good for my weight-loss goals but mentally it was perfect.
Friday February 24, 2012
(Day 24 Week 4 Insanity) I missed two days of insanity or any kind of workout...except for some walking around campus. I am glad that i got to my workout today....STAY STRONG.....also i noticed my heart rate intensity has dropped which means i am going to have to step it up a notch. DIG DEEPER!!! Lets finish out month 1 strong!!!
MESSAGE BOARD: MoLove2025 i've been busy for two days and havent gotten my work out in....i did do good with my calorie goals though....im glad im back to my workouts!!!
Saturday February 25, 2012
Today i got up and helped my boyfriend aunt move out of her apartment. I was moving boxes up and down those stairs. When i checked on MFP to see how much i burned it was 800 cal. Since i burned so much i decided to skip my insanity workout. I will be back at it tomorrow.
Sunday February 26, 2012
(Week 4 Day 25 Insanity) I love how insanity makes me feel after a workout, especially when at the beginning i dont think i will be able to finish. There is something in me that makes me want to push harder and finish. I think its because i know that all the hard work will pay off later. It kinda like how i went through college some days i didnt think i could do it but i would get up and go to class and push through all the hard work because i knew the reward at the end would be Fantastic. I guess you can say i am a motivated go getter. Lets finish out week 4 strong even though i missed 2 days from the workout this week.

Wednesday February 15, 2012
(Insanity Day 17 week 3) I woke up this morning ready to work out but once i got 2 min into the workout i noticed i didnt have the energy to do the Insanity Pure Cardio and Cardio abs. So i stopped and once i thought about it i switched todays workout for tomorrows Cardio Recovery. I think this was the best decision i made cause i dont want to over work my body and get burnt out. I am still on track....YES TO SUCCESS!!!
MESSAGE BOARD: MoLove2025 Ok i woke up with the intentions of working out but the strength needed to to Insanity's Pure Cardio and Abs is just not in me today.....so i think i am going to switch it with tomorrow's workout cause my body is screaming for some R & R....
Thursday February 16, 2012
(Day 18 Week 3 Insanity) Yesterdays decision to switch workouts was a great idea. today i got up and started pure cardio and cardio abs. I felt like i could push harder than when i first started....the workouts are slowly becoming easier to complete. I was sweating like crazy today.....HR 181/93% was a frequent number when i check HR during the workout. FEEL THE BURN!!!
MESSAGE BOARD: MoLove2025 OMG....i just bought a new scale....its reading a number 12lbs higher than my old one. I thought my old one was off but not by that much. So i am going to reset my goals to start today....gosh atleast i know what i actually weigh....i know i lost some weight though so im not going to sweat it to much.
MESSAGE BOARD: MoLove2025 why did i buy a box of girl scout cookies???.....Cookies are my weakness....i so can relate to the cookie monster...lol
MESSAGE BOARD: MoLove2025 To all of my friends.....I want you all to have success. We all know that the min amount of calories recommended for proper body function is 1200 Cals. If you are not making this i encourage you to so you are not starving yourself to your goals. Let FOOD FUEL your GOALS!!!
Friday February 17, 2012
(Day 19 Week 3 Insanity) I am feeling stronger. When i begin a workout i feel like i am not going to be able to make it through, but i still continue on and once i am done im more relaxed and thinking to myself why did i feel that way at the beginning. I ALWAYS PUSH THROUGH!!! Buying the new scale and seeing a number 12lbs more than what i thought was a blow to my ego yesterday. Its just telling me that i weighed more than i thought and there's no way to know how much it was. I do know i lost something threw the inches i lost throughout this journey. I reset my End goal date to be Feb 16, 2013, at 131 lbs. ONE YEAR. This mornings weight was 254....1lb down than what i recorded yesterday afternoon. I trust the 254 because i weighed myself right after i woke up and used the rest-room. LETS GET THIS THING STARTED!!!
Saturday February 18, 2012
Today i didnt work out, i will complete the last day of week 3 of insanity. I must say i am feeling great. I have more energy and am not winded by small tasks. I will have success. Today i noticed that in the grocery store i pay alot more attention to whats in it then how it tasts. I also noticed i stay away from the inside isles of the grocery store. Limited processed foods. I am going to find me a good cookbook or find recipes on line and put them together and try them all. I want to fall in love with food in a healthy way.
Sunday February 19, 2012
(Day 21 Week 3 Insanity) HR during exercise was around 180/94% . I am excited i just finished week 3 of insanity and now on to week 4. My strength is slowly but def improving. People who havent seen me in the past couple of weeks i wonder if they will see a difference in my body. I know its not really going to show until i lose about 30 more lbs, that makes me continue to workout everyday and eat as healthy as i can. continue to DIG DEEP!!!!

Tuesday February 7, 2012
Today was pure cardio with insanity. I really pushed myself today (90-98%). I worked out this evening though. spent the day with Eddie. Looking at old pics of myself when i was in high school and when i lost alot of weight before and it encouraged me to get up and workout even though i really didnt feel like it. YES TO DEDICATION!!!!

Day 12 of Insanity. The warm-up is starting to become easier to do. I still cant do the entire thing without stopping but i am better than i was last week. This week ive worked out in the evening mostly and i feel that i work out harder and better first thing in the morning. When i work out in the evening i have to make myself workout like a chore i have to do. So next week i am going to return to the morning work outs then it will be done for the day and i wont feel like there is something i have to do every evening when i like to relax. Overall things are going good. Tomorrow completes week 2 of insanity workout.
Saturday February 11, 2012
Today i was supposed to finish the last day of week 2 of insanity. I went to the movies so i had a small popcorn.....not good but ok. Then i went to chilies and not a good choice but i did have a salad and i made sure to dress my salad myself to make sure i wasnt over doing it with the sauce. Lol...sauce...Spent the evening with my boyfriend so i opted to chill with him instead of working out. I will have to complete the workout tomorrow so i dont fall behind my work out. Keep up the good work.
Sunday February 12, 2012
I don't usually work out on sunday but yesterday i chose to spend the day relaxing, and chilling with my booski. Today was the (week 2 day 14) the last day for week 2 of Insanity. It was pure cardio and today it didnt seem as hard as before to do PC....im glad its getting easier. It also was the first time i did the Cardio Abs. Im glad i am getting up off my fat booty and doing the workout everyday even though i might not want to. This week seems like it was the hardest to work out. Im 30 days into this journey and this is where i stall out usually. This time im going to push through this time and make it to two months and further so i can reach my goal. DIG DEEP if you want this!!!
MESSAGE BOARD: molove2025 Insanity Fit test, Weigh-in, and 30day photos tomorrow. Lets just say i am excited to see the results of the fit test, how this past week of insanity has affected my body, and i'm def ready to see if i see a change in my appearance since my first day.
