Some Call Me Insane

Hello lovies!

Where to start...

Well, how about with the biggest news from the past few weeks.

I started doing Insanity two weeks ago.

The workouts are tough.

I don't love cardio circuits and that is basically all insanity is; however, it is the best workout for weight loss, which was why I started it in the first place.

I did the first week and then my friend Megan asked me to restart it so she could join.

Saturday I completed the first week {again...so I've done 2 weeks} and today I officially started week 2.

I honestly really like it a lot.

I sort of expected the videos to be harder than they are, but I think I was just psyching myself up.

Plus, I had been working out regularly before.

I do not suggest going from nothing to Insanity.

That is just...insane.

;)

But for reals, it's a great workout.

My legs have always been the smallest part of me and they are super toned.

I kind of don't like how big my calves are, but I can't complain that I have strong, defined legs.

My arms, shoulders, and back are also getting smaller.

I actually see definition in my arms and my back {especially my lower back} is toning up.

The ONE spot I'm having trouble with is my stomach.

This has always been my issue.

I can't complain too much because I haven't given up alcohol or the occasional midnight piece of pizza {or 2 maybe}.

But yesterday something miraculous happened.

I was at Kohl's shopping when all of a sudden I found a pair of Vera Wang skinny jeans I just had to have.

I had been looking for cute, comfy black skinnies for quite some time and I got just a tad excited.

I picked up a size 10 {my normal size} thinking they might be snug because skinny jeans sometimes run small.

I was super surprised to see that they were loose!

I went out to get an 8.

I have never bought a size 8...ever!

Even in high school I was a 10/12.

I freaked when I realized they were too loose also!

I almost cried when I slipped on size 6 skinny jeans.

Ok, so granted, they were a bit stretchy, but I could just imagine how one day all my clothes will fit better because I'll be in great shape and I won't only look great, I'll feel great.

I've lost 30 pounds total, with roughly 30 more to go.

I've been getting a little bit frustrated that the scale hasn't budged in a week or so.

Getting over those little hurdles can be difficult.

But I've done it before, I can do it again!

Plus, I have little rewards for myself.

After I lose 15 pounds I'm going to buy this baby...

Kate Spade

I'm obsessed with this watch!

It's so gorgeous.

Well, I need to go to bed before it gets super late and I get hungry and start snacking like a ravenous raccoon...ridiculousness!

If you have any tips for getting over the half way slump mark, let me know!

Happy Monday, friends!

XOXO
