remember when i was going to post about fitness every week?

yeah…that hasnt really been happening.

to be honest its been quite the frustrating journey thus far.  I was super motivated but my weight has been at a stand still for the last 3 weeks.  Its been really discouraging, but I know that I need to cut myself some slack.  Its easy to feel like we had Penny FOREVER ago…but its only been 2 months.  This is going to be a slow moving thing.  My friend Sabrina put it into perspective when she said “it took 9 months to put the weight on, give yourself that amount of time to get it off”.  shes a wise woman.

so the hubs and I are trying a new approach.  we started doing insanity on Monday.  if you have ever tried this work out…it is ridiculously hard.  its a 60 day beating to be more accurate.  brett and I got through the first month before penny was born and lost ridiculous amounts of weight.  I think my favorite part about the work outs is that there are fit tests that show your improvement.  last time we went through it my fit test doubled each time we took it.  I like being able to track the progress.  plus its kind of an oddly fun family activity.  we do it in our living room and penny watches us from her boppy.  sometimes we’ll do the moves at her and she thinks its hilarious!

im severely sore and am crazy tired, but I like knowing that my muscles are working hard.  I haven’t seen any progress on the scale yet this week, but i’m feeling good.  we’ll see where this takes us.  the journey to pre prego weight is going to be a tough one but its gonna happen!
