the start of insanity

being un happy with your body is something we all deal with it. i'm sure you've heard the excuse when you get married you gain weight. well guys, sad but true in our case. since we've been married i have put on 15 lbs that i cannot get rid of. it was 20 but due to being sick a few months ago i lost 5 of it. daniel feels the same way. we both have this extra weight that wont go anywhere. i know for me i am sick of my clothes not fitting the same. with summer coming i want to be able to wear all my old shorts and look good in my swimsuits. as well as be healthy.

i've read so many reviews on p90x and other programs i wasn't feeling them. then, after seeing alexa and her husband's amazing results from their journey with insanity. i was shocked. they look so amazing. i showed daniel and he was amazed too. we started researching it and watching before & after videos on youtube. we were 100% sold. we knew we needed to try this. we got the dvds off ksl for super cheap this past weekend.

i would work out in the mornings but, would get so bored working out by myself. same with the hubby, he used to go running in the morning before work but got bored by him self. i feel working out together will be better for us. doing this together we can help each other get through it and encourage one other to not give up. {with my luck ill probably get pregnant before this is over or after i loose weight. haha we'll just play that by ear!} 

we both have one goal for this:

to finish the whole program with no quitting!

we have decided not to set a goal of pounds we want to loose but, instead a goal of finishing the whole program, all 60 days. we think setting the goal we have will help us be more motivated to keep up with this. on insanity you work out 6 days a week, and have a meal plan to help you. we have chosen to work out the 6 days a week and adjust the meal plan to fit our lives. getting rid of the junk food and adding more veggies/fruits, no more soda {good bye diet coke!}, eating 5 meals a day and smaller portions of those meals. we know this will be so hard. like very intense but, we are positive and know we can do this!

i have even made signs that i placed around the house to keep us motivated....yesterday was day 1. it was tough but, felt good after to get day 1 under our belts. it feels so good to be starting this fit + healthy journey! here's to looking good, and feeling good in 60days!

i know of a few others who are doing this or starting this too. if you are as well and want to help us all stay on track let me know, i have a facebook group i am a part of! :) 

wish us luck!

ps. have any of you done this or some kind of drastic weight loss program? share please. i am fascinated by before and after results! :)
