Day-- off
Guess what guess what? My final exams are done!! Now I can be back to normal for a while! Woot woot. My Fiance and I have still been working out to P90X and I have been sneaking in some gym time in addition. I feel amazing a lot of DOMS happening. We are enjoying the workouts now and especially working out together. It’s more time to spend with each other and we love it. We are going to be...

Day 5--- Legs & Back
We were short on time today so we did legs and back was supposed to be with ab ripper but we did not have time so we are doing to tomorrow in addition to our scheduled workout. I can’t wait til my final exam is over. It’s alot working and going to school while trying to kick ass at working out. I think I am still a bit skeptical of the changes P90X can do for my body after completing...

Day 4- Yoga X
Boring. I think that’s the best word to describe this workout. My Fiance and I were bored the first five minutes we pushed through by after 35 minutes we had enough and called it quits. On days when we are required to do this workout we will replace it with another yoga video we have that’s not so boring. Oh well it happens, we have no complaints about the other workouts thus far. I am...

Another day of P90X completed at 10pm. Busy, busy with work, school and working out. Didn’t sweat as much this workout I have to admit. I am hitting the gym tomorrow and doing P90x.

P90X Day 2--Pylometrics
Well… I started off thinking this isn’t as hard as insanity. Fast forward 20 mins and the sweat was poring off me. I started to really enjoy it and realize its a different workout than insanity. My fiancé and I took out measurements and some photos today for comparisons later on. Can’t wait to see what P90X does to our bodies. Maybe we will even see some changes before our trip...

P90X - day 1
Completed the first workout last night at 8:30pm. Waited for my fiancé to get home. We rocked it. There were a few curses words during some of the pushups but I like to think we killed it. My lower back is a tad sore this morning.
P90X
So tomorrow it begins. P90X! My fiancé and I decided this is our next workout program! Can’t wait to see the changes to my body. I’ll be Cancun bikini body ready for January. For motivation I shall post about out workouts whenever I can. More so after my final exam for school.

Over 1 year
Oh my 1 year.. I have not posted in over a year. How busy I must have been. So my random weight gain was from polycystic ovaries. Found that out in November of last year. I now take medications to control the weight everytime I eat along with a lot of vitamins. Back down to normal. Since September my Fiance and I (yes I got engaged August 5th) have been doing a Chalean extreme and Insanity hybrid...

TURBO FIRE
Ugh. My new job is crazy. That’s it that’s all. I left the best job in the world back in Ottawa to be here. I have no regrets though because being with Matt is definately worth it! Long distance for as long as we did it was long enough. I decided to finally get back out of my slump. And what a slump I am in let me tell you. Insanity…ugh I just can’t get back into it. So I...

MOVED...
I’ve been nothing short of jesus awful in my blogging. Dear Lord. I keep saying oh I’ll get back to it and then something happens and I completely put it on the back burner. So what have I been up to? Well after my trip to Edmonton it was decided that I should move. So that’s just what I did. I now live in Fort McMurray, Alberta. HELLOOO? WTF? I know it’s crazy! My cousin...

I’ve been sick! How depressing is that! I jogged 15.79km screwed up my leg to the point where if I jogged my leg basically gave out! Screwed it good! Thankfully I was able to do chalean extreme still. However 10lbs gained??? Muscle or fat can’t tell clothes still fit but scale has moved not impressed. Then I went to Edmonton to visit the new boyfriend ! I had the time of my life...

No I didn't drop off the earth
What have I been up to? Well I sold my house I moved back into my dads basement (oh yes I’m that cool)! And that’s about all that’s new and exciting! So I’ve been MIA trying to get settled, unpacking, getting my head on straight and throw in some self loathing and that’s what I’ve been up to! I’ve been doing my own mix of turbo fire, chalean extreme and...

Working it out...
I have been so busy. Went back home for a little break from the city. What a time that was! It was definately well deserved and well needed. I managed to hit the treadmill at my mother’s place while I was home to continue with my workouts! It worked out perfect! I always over eat when I go home. Nothing like back home cooking, I’m from the country and momma’s cooking is something...

Insanity
I decided since I was at babies house this week that I would take Insanity instead of dragging all my weights over to their house. So I rocked Insanity this week taking Saturday off. I don’t know how I did it. I thought a few times I may actaully die. Like I really didn’t think I was going to make it haha. But I did it. It felt great! I’ve been having a little bit of a tough...

Just letting the whole world know! Rocking 126lbs. Lost 5lbs this week! It’s been a rather depressing week. Bad case of winter blues! I managed to still eat shitty (Mcdonalds and Pizza) and still dropped 5lbs. I am pretty stoked! I am not getting any smaller. I’ve been so busy working three jobs its not even fit. Got way to drunk on saturday and it was filled with bad intentions. I...

Weekend again!
So I moved into the babies house this week! I find myself short of time and unable to blog. However, I still managed to complete all my hybrid workouts! Ab Burner is an absolute killer. Everytime I am doing it I feel my abs just a shaking to death. Man do I feel fine for doing so! I feel absolutely amazing I trurly do! I don’t know if I look any different compared to before doing Insanity...
The weekend oh how I missed thee
So late night ended up working til about 9:30 pm. Didn’t get home and settled til about 10pm. I had rocked the ellliptical while catching up on Jersey Shore. Did about 40 minutes,I think that’s what a whole episode works out to be. Anyways when I came home I had a Chalean Extreme workout to do, otherwise I would be playing catch-up. I didn’t want to start playing that game...
Hybrid
Got to rock out to extreme abs today. Ouch! I thought I had done this video before but I did not. Man dear did it ever hurt! It was 15 solid minutes of straight ab work! And they burned the whole entire time. I am snacking on some yogurt and a bunch of fruit Mmmm Mmmm is it ever good! I also rocked out 50 minutes on the elliptical tonight as well! Great little workout. I think that elliptical was...

Hybrid
I rocked out the elliptical for 30 minutes while watching sex and the city 2. Then did some Burn Circuit 2. Ouch killer. Weights are still so new to me I find it hard to consider them a work out! I know it’s needed and it’s a must but it still takes some getting used to that is for sure! I am definately enjoying something new. I do have to say this…..Monday’s sucks! Frig...

Hybrid Day 7?
I am going to stop with the numbers! I messed up last time and I know I am bound to do it again. Either way I am doing the hybrid schedule and following it to a T. So that’s all that matters. If I miss a day or stop doing the workouts I will blog. So far so good. I love it after one week complete. It’s different from Insanity but I like it. It’s just what I need. This weekend has...

Day 4- Hybrid
Day 4 of my hybrid program. Again this is just what the Dr. ordered! I needed this toning program. I am liking it. It’s alot different then going INSANE but still it’s what I need. I am definately enjoying it. I am also trying to keep a food journal as well to keep what I am eating in check. It’s a good and useful tool and it’s easy to do. I’ll say the same thing I...

ChaLean Extreme/Turbo Fire Hybrid
So I decided to rock a hybrid program. ChaLean Extreme with Turbo Fire. So far so good. I am still tackling the elliptical nightly because as we all know I am a cardio queen. So that’s what I’ve been up to. I also realized I don’t stretch near enough. Thankfully both of these programs have excellent routines to loosen me up. I think that’s part of my problem .Yes, I have...
2011 So it has begun
Guess what arrived on Friday….Didja guess? TURBOFIRE! Oh yea. I was so excited I ripped it open as soon as it arrived poped in the first dvd and gave it a go. I am stoked. Upon taking the time to read the material that came with it, I soon found out there is a hybrid of TurboFire and Chalean extreme. Since CLX has been gathering dust I figured I am going to rock out the hybrid workout...

Sleepy
Ugh. Got up this morning at 5:45am. Wish I could say it was to work out or do something productive … . It wasn’t really. It was just to run to work to make sure the mailbox didn’t fill up over the holidays! So I am so sleepy right at this moment and we are having a little shin-dig at the house tonight equiped with games and beers so I gotta wake the fuck up. I think 20 mins on...

Christmas is over?
I can’t believe it came and it went! Kinda happy kinda sad! It was my first Christmas not going to my home town. I have to admit at first I found it tough because my fiance was back in Nova Scotia until the 23rd but once he got here it wasn’t no big deal being away. Until Christmas morning when I called my momma and she started to cry because I wasn’t there then I started to cry....
Are you fancy?
Best.Girls. Night. EVER! In house manicures and pedicures accompanied by Martini’s. Tons and Tons of different Martini’s. It was a good time. Alot of laughs that is for sure. The double berry martini was definately my favorite. And apparantly it was Tammie’s too! She got hammered! I laughed to much my stomach and cheeks hurt! Good times! I loved having it in your house too....
Look- 2 Days in a row!
I am rather impressed. I think it’s because I have only been working one job not two and the Fiance is gone! No offence to him but I am liking this. Tad bit lonely but…I make a mess I clean it up. I want to workout forever I can! I hopped on the elliptical last night about 35 minutes then did a quick Turbo Jam video. It was nice. Dyed my hair almost black. I was in shock at first but I...

The Weekend
Just when I thought I had myself all on the ball I look back and realize I havn’t blogged since Tuesday! I was kind of shocked I feel like I’ve been doing it more but I guess I was in for a rude awakening. So this past week I’ve been doing Insanity, Turbo Jam, the elliptical and jogging. I am sort of mixing things up. I want to maintain where I am at right now with my body and...

I start to work out forget to mark what day I am on and then I am like wait a second I did this video yesterday. So I decided last night you know what’s the better idea start fresh. There ya go! I’ve been taking care of...

Busy like a bee....
To say I have been busy is somewhat of an understatement. Last week I flew to Nova Scotia on Thursday as a surprise for a friends wedding. While I was there I did a bijillion wedding plans. The venue is booked and paid, I booked with a Florist and I paid the deposit. I am in the process of doing some rentals for the venue! I am pretty excited. It is the long weekend of October so alot of places...

Monday
Only one way to cure a case of the Monday’s. Work out!
I came home from work to a disassembled Christmas tree. Turns out Halle (the cat) loves ornamets! I am not sure how we are going to keep her away from the tree while we are at work but I am pretty sure I scared the shit out of her so she won’t be going near the tree for atleast a little while (or so I hope). Nic and I received our...
Perfect Sunday
Can’t complain at all about today! Perfect! Slept in again with Peddler smack dab in the middle of Nic and I. Halle managed to find some empty space on the bed as well and was sleeping with us all. That’s rare! Peddler normally doesn’t sleep on the bed with us (only when he isn’t feeling well or something isn’t quite right with him) and when he does he is a bed hog....

Insanity-Round 2
Totally rocked out to Cardio Recovery! I felt uber ambitious so I totally did a Turbo Jam as well! How kick ass is that! I totally slept in today and felt amazing when I woke up this morning to no alarm! Nic and I decided to get a ”family” cell phone plan we figured it would be cheaper for us. Which I didn’t think it would be, However we went to and checked it out it totally was....

Exhausted. . . .
Okay running around like a chicken with their head cut off has officially caught up to me! Ugh! It came like a shit ton of bricks out of no where! I think I have napped the past 4-5 hours and I am going to force my lazy ass out of bed work out and then hop right back into ‘er!
Wedding Planning is fun! It’s all coming together. I know we have a ton of time between now and October but...
Insanity Round 2
Well I’ve worked til about 12:30am since Monday. I am exhausted. I managed to do Insanity and Turbo Jam everyday though. Since I bought my dress I’ve decided I want to be in the best shape when I get married. I don’t want to look back and realize that I was the biggest I have ever been in my life in wedding photos or wish I would have got rid of arm flab. You can’t...
Son of a bitch! I totally just had a huge long blog….went to click post and it said I had a problem with my connection and guess what…whole post gone! Don’t ya just hate that! So basically moral of the story is been super super busy with work. Working the two jobs is a blessing and a curse! I’ve been jogging, doing Insanity (trying to, knee is killing me) and mixing in some...
Too Busy
I am so busy I don’t have time to blog. I’ve been busy working out…..planning a wedding…working…more working! <3 <3 I’ve been just jogging because of my ribs! They hurt when I breathe and still when I do insanity. Not sure much when I run…so…I’ve been running until they feel better.
Insanity- Round 2
Today was technically supposed to be a rest day. Y’all know me I didn’t rest! I went for a jog and today I realized how much Insanity has done for me. Before Insanity I would start to jog not even get one song finished on my Ipod and I would be dead. I jogged from the time I left my door to the time I got back never stopping not even ONCE! I am on a freakin’ running high. I...
