Long overdue

Memorial day weekend we headed out to West Virginia with our friends for a long weekend on the Cheat river. We had a blast! Here are photos in no particular order.

 

We were stopped for a very long time due to a head on collision on a one road street due to construction.

the guys got out and played a game of "trow rocks at trees and see how long it takes to hit one"

Titus had his head out almost the entire ride there 

yup it was 90

at 5:18 in the evening. 

We passed tons of old barns and farms.

On the last day we were there not even 45 minutes before we left, Mason was up in the playground and got stung over 7 times. poor kid.

I've gone Insane

Thats right y'all, I have gone insane.

I'm sure the majority of people know what insanity is but incase you don't, take a look at this. 

Levi and I started on monday the 11th of June. The first day of Insanity, you do a fit test. Every two weeks you redo the fit test so you can see your progress. I only have room for improvement seeing as I couldn't even complete the fit test. DO NOT ever eat before you do an insanity work out. It will come back up. I was taught that lesson right off. 

As this week progressed, I was able to do more and more of the work outs with out as many breaks, however, I still have to modify some of the moves because my knee cannot handle some of them.  I've had knee problems since I was 15.

So far I have a love hate relationship with this program.  I hate it because it makes me work, I love it because it makes me work. I feel pushed to my limits and then beyond. 

Remember me saying that I had goals while Levi and I are taking a break from trying to have a baby, this is one of them, to get back to my wedding weight. At the start of Insanity I was only 10 lbs shy of 200. I was just under 150 on August 26th 2010.  150 is still considered over weight for my 5 foot 4 stature. But having to lose 40 seeming such a large number just to get to wedding weight, I cant even fathom another 20-30 to be in the 130-120's where charts say I should be. 

But I don't want  to just lose weight. I want to be fit and healthy. I'm changing habits, eating better and making better choices about what I do for my body.

I have 58 days of Insanity left. I'll post before and after pics then.
