Almost a Year!

Our 1 year Anniversary is coming up in just a few short weeks! I can't believe it. It has been a busy year. I love Joseph even more so now than I did when we got married. It's truly amazing how our love for each other just keeps growing.

We decided to go to Sedona, AZ for our anniversary. We are still trying to decide where to stay and what to do up there, so if you have any ideas, please let us know :)

Week 3 (re-do) Results

For one reason or another, I only worked out 3 times during my first go at week 3, so I decided to do that week again. I did better this time and worked out 5 days. I am still not seeing huge results in weight loss, but I have lost 2 pounds since I started the Insanity workout. Since I started eating right and doing general workouts, I've lost a total of 5 pounds. I'm pretty happy about that :) The coolest thing is that I've lost 12.75 inches! The majority of these inches came from my thighs with 3.25 inches gone from each leg! That makes up about 1/2 of the inches I've lost. I wish that I measured my belly when I first did my measurments because I think I've lost a lot there as well. From 8/10 -8/15, I lost 1.25 inches around my belly!

I only have 2 more weeks left of month 1 and then it is on to month 2. I'm really nervous about month 2. Month 1 is hard enough and I still can't make it through an entire workout session without taking breaks. Month 2 is Max Interval training. On my sparkpeople.com Insanity group, people are saying you can burn between 600-1,000 calories during a single workout! Right now I burn between 350-400, so adding 20 minutes and upping the intensity makes burning 600 calories totally possible! :-o

I talked to my health coach on the phone on Thursday (my company pays for us to work with health coaches to reach our goals.. pretty awesome!). I told her about my amazing inches lost and how my weight still isn't coming off. She said that is to be expected and that I will probably see the weight fall off in month 2. Cross your fingers!!!
