Broken hearted

Okay, so as you may know I started physical therapy for my shoulder pains.... Well it's been 2 weeks and to start out I was told by my therapist I could do INSANITY but not do the burpies( shoot I will take whatever excuse I can to not have to do burpies/suicide jumps) anyways I did my fit test and measurements which I will include here; I went to therapy this week and apparently I was super inflammed, and was told to refrain from ANY physical activity not just INSANITY... I wanted to cry. As the past few days went by I got soooooo bored at home all day, it's amazing when you're told you CAN NOT do something how much more you actually want to do it. I had therapy again today and I actually cried avery little when i was told I can not go kayaking this weekend, I don't kayak a whole lot but it's so nice out and I was looking at my kayak and just really really wanted to do a lake day with Josh and Baxter our puppy who loves water. Anyways that big fat NO was so heart breaking, I feel so helpless not being able to do anything, and because I started losing weight and looooovveeee INSANITY and now can't do it, I just feel lost. :( so I wont be posting too many updates any time too soon. I am going to continue healthy eating habits and walk as often as possible, the last thing I want to do is gain back the 9 lbs I worked so hard to lose. I was told I can do squats and belt kicks but I had to modify the moves so that my arms aren't swinging. This is not all shoulder deep though... If you read my about me on here you will recall me talking about my neck injury from when I was 9, well everything is stemming off of that injury at the moment, but at the same time 3 seperation injuries; my neck, shoulder, and apparently my elbow. I will refrain from any activity I'm told to refrain from until further notice I want to get better. (If that is possible) so my physical activity today consisted of raising a broom handle over my head 20 times, bench pressing it 20 times and twisting it in front of me 20 times, neck stretches, traction, and getting my shoulder/neck dug into with a metal tool by the therapist... At this point I wish I hadn't gone in at all, maybe I would still be doing my INSANITY to my limits. Oh almost forgot 50 squats and 20 belt kicks before I went in ( yes before I had approval, I had to do some thing) Okay as of4/20 my measurements and such Belly 44.5 (+.5in)I blame PMS Chest 45.25 (-2.75) again I blame PMS L bicep 15 (-1in) R bicep 15 -(1in) Waist 38.5 (-1.75) Hips/butt 50.25 (-1in) L thigh 29 (-.75in) R thigh 28.5 (-1in) L calf 18 (+.5in) R calf 17.5 (same) Underboob 39 (+.25) Neck 14 (-.5) Weight 220 (+5 lbs) blaming PMS I weighed in today at 217 These numbers truly make me sad, I guess that's what happens when you take a week off.. Fit test Switch kicks 41 on right (+2) Power jacks 31 (+12) Power knees 80 (+18) Power jumps 22 (+8) Globe jumps 10 (+5) Suicide jumps 0 per therapist Push up jacks 20 high plank (+ 12) Low plank oblique 33 (+21) Definitely got stronger, but at the same time evidently weaker in my neck and shoulder... I hope to be returning VERY soon full force, and when I do INSANITY is going to be mine again, non stop!

SlAcKeR!

Slacker def: ME

Okay, so I have been a bad bad bad girl! I was up to day 39 of INSANITY without more than a few days off off once. Which I believe is where I left off last blog. Anyway since than its been uhm, way too long but I have worked out about 3 times. :( and feel so crappy for it. I started back up today. I now have some limitations though, because that lovely shoulder of mine was just not agreeing with the workouts, I started PT last Monday and apparently I have technically 3 injuries (not all from working out) one in my neck (from a car accident as a kid) my shoulder and I guess my elbow (which I had no idea my elbow was injured seeing as it didn't bother me much.) Anyways I get to get "tortured" every Mon and Thurs, but the secret is I enjoy it, I am doing traction and then my PT guy takes a metal majigger and digs it into the knots and grinds them out *woooo weeee* hurts so good!

Anyway back to INSANITY( I don't know why I just feel like it needs to be in CAPS) I started full swing back today and it hurt..kinda good, but not so good. I have also been sick with allergies, stuffy nose, cough, and what not so it made it really difficult to breathe during the workout. I am back though I can't believe the difference between being healthy and not. I will be doing a blog tomorrow too after I do my most recent fit test. and measurements, I did a few measurements and wasn't too disappointed after 2 weeks off I haven't gained any inches back.. *WHEW* After the next 4 days finishing out this week Josh and I have decided to re-start the entire program, and repeat until we reach a healthy spot!

Well enough rambling I'm going to clean up from our week vaca in Mexico LAUNDRY LAUNDRY LAUNDRY... eck so I guess I should now throw a few pics from Mexico on here for your enjoyment :)

My amzaing silly crazy family

Beautiful sunrise the day we left

I love this man more than anything in this world

AH can't get over how much I love him

A majority of the most important people in my life!

J-E-L-L-O

Oh my gosh! As of today we started back to our Insanity after taking 3 days off ( I hurt my shoulder, and we go pretty busy too). Today also just so happened to start the "second half" of Insanity Holy Mother of Everything!!!!! The workout today was not like anything you see in the infomercial, nor is it anything like the first 6 weeks. It is INSANE!! 

Max interval training was ridiculous and my body is JELLO right now! My shoulder is also SCREAMING. I don't know what I did to it exactly, but back when I had very first done Xfit I was doing tricep-dips on the bleachers and something popped, ever since if I do any tricep-dips my shoulder hurts; well it has progressed to hurting while doing planks, push ups, or intense punches...so I am trying to be really careful. However it is pretty persistent so I will more than likely be making a Dr. appt soon. Oh yeah also burned 500+ calories in the workout! Sadly I forgot to put my Body Bugg on during my fit test today.

So because Blogger/blog spot is so cool it showed me where people are viewing from. I have had views in Malaysia, and Russia (kinda scary, but scary in a cool kinda way). Anyway you all aren't here to hear me ramble one about randomness so I will now post my pictures, measurements, and results from today's fit test!

Well chicken is done boiling gotta go finish dinner!!

Back to it

Okay, this week has been rough getting back in the grove of life... We skipped Wednesdays workout because we were traveling... Well some how we are still 2 workouts behind....uggghh.. But we are back to our weight we left to Cali at. Thank goodness. I knew it would slip right off when we got back to better food and routine. Tonight we had spaghetti squash chicken spaghetti, it was delicious* the itchy mouth and face not as much* I will be doing measurements in the AM I forgot to do them last week..but will for sure do them tomorrow and keep y'all posted!

1, 2, skip a few .....GOOOAAAALLL

Wow, home sweet home, isn't it so odd how when you go on a vacation you need to go home to vacation from vacation. It was so nice to be home and sleep in my own bed with my precious puppies! So since my last long life story I have been a BAD BAD BAD girl!!! On the 12th I did a real crap/slack job on my workout, I SKIPPED 15 mins in the middle, but hey I did the other 2/3rds, while Mr. Hubby Man rode the stationary bike because of that pulled inner thigh... We went back to Disneyland and it was WWWAAAAAYYYY better Monday than on Sunday; hardly any people. We in fact rode about 5 rides in an hour and a half! Since we were already slipping on our eating we made reservations for lunch and dinner in DL, BAD idea, it started a horrible trend. For lunch I ate a white bread roll *gasp* I don't even normally eat white bread in my daily life in general, and a Monte Cristo (which I couldn't stomach all the grease so I ate one section of it). Then for dinner we had bbq ribs, chicken, sausage, beans, cornbread, etc *dessert*. I didn't even bother adding that day into my app for calorie tracking I might have cried. After this day we still had one day left for Disney, so we decided to go first thing in the morning so I could get "letters" * You'll see what I mean in the picture*, at this point we decided that we would do our workout when we got home last night *we didn't* anyway, we get to DL and the hubs says "hmm where was that clam chowder, we were suggested?" *I can't eat it I'm allergic* anyway so he eats that, then we ate PIZZA *OMG SO YUMMY* then...the worst thing ever, Josh got a dole whip *again couldn't have any allergic* so I was feeling left out so I got a Rootbeer float :/ so on top of missing our workout we were naughty and ate HORRIBLE!! But WAIT!!!! The last 2 days in Disney I SURPASSED EVERY SINGLE GOAL on my Body Bugg!!! I have over 15k steps, burned over 3000 cals, and had over 2 hours of activity!!!! So all that food did burn. Upon arrival at home I did the most dreadful thing in existence I weighed myself *I almost cried* I put back on 4lbs :'(. I am sure it will come back off super easy this week, but none the less it made me feel horrible, on top of me already feeling crappy from all the horrible food. As of tomorrow we will be back on Phase 1 of South Beach. We just finished yesterday's Insanity, and tomorrow morning we will do today's and tomorrows, tomorrow night! Now I need to ice my shoulder *threw myself WAY too hard into a burpie* and play with "letters" Sorry my grammar and punctuation sucks... I just don't care :)

Cali baby

Okay so I have been in California for a second "Honeymoon" so we have decided to call it while being here. We have stayed in 3 hotels all of them having "free wifi" the first two did not have internet AT ALL for the laptop or the iPad. Tonight we are staying in a real HOTEL and as you guessed I finally have internet on the laptop!!

We have brought along our Insanity so that we can be good little kids and keep up our fitness. We have had a few bumps in the road with keeping up, (NO WORRIES WE HAVE DONE IT EVERYDAY) *I mean workout P.S. ;)* I pulled something in my right hammy the other day and I did a really lazy Insanity day, I probably did about 1/3 of it, and today Josh has a pulled inner thigh ( from climbing over the passenger seat on the side of the freeway to help the lady broke down put gas in her car) so we haven't finished our workout today ( but being in a HOTEL we have a fitness room we can go use) YAAAYY

So funny little story the other day I was hesitant to want to start our workout and jokingly asked Josh " Why are we doing this to ourselves?, Why, why ,why do we torture ourselves" all the while he is sitting on the end of the bed putting his socks and shoes on...I continue complaining and sit on the end of the bed with him and the WHOLE MATTRESS FLIPS UP we both start busting up laughing and I say "weellllll I guess that answers my questions, better get movin'."

Making me have lost 9in from my first day of starting INSANITY :( and an additional inch since last week, but at least starting to even out. Weigh in 2/21/12 *223 lbs* 3/6/12 *218lbs* making for a loss of 5lbs in 2 weeks.

Since we are on vacation and starting phase 2 of South Beach it has been difficult making the healthier choice, but for the most part I have done pretty good. My big cheats this week have been...A churro, Sushi, and chick-fil-a (never had it before had to see what the fuss was) of course I didn't have the bun on my sandwich and also only ate like 5 fries. With my workouts I have stayed under 1600 calories a day still. I am still scared to go home and weigh in though, and as soon as I do go home we are going back to phase 1.

The first bad and thing we differed from Phase 1 was the churro, leaving both of us feeling super sick.

Oh yeah, you're probably waiting for the ugly...and man is it ugly!!!

If you notice I didn't have the same clothes I wish I did... the few changes I notice are... my belly shape changed slightly (I don't look as pregnant when I am not), my double chin shrank mildly, my boobs are up a little, and my neck on the back isn't as rounded.

We are having so much fun in Cali, tomorrow we go to Disney Land and California Adventure. I miss my puppies... now only 3 weeks and MEXICOOOOOOO!!!! man I totally LOVE MY LIFE!!!! I am so blessed to be surrounded by supportive people, especially my amazing hubby!!!!

:) gotta go finish our Insanity for the day!!!! Then maybe a nice soak in the hot tub
