New workout & what's up

February already. I'm just hoping THIS year doesn't go by as quickly as last year. Time really is flying by.

Here's the health update on me:
2 weeks ago, I started a new program: Insanity/Brazil Butt Lift hybrid. I was doing the P90X/Insanity hybrid, but I didn't feel like i was getting enough from it, so i switched it up a bit. Plus, bathing suit season is around the corner, and my butt needs a lift. I'm pretty sure I can vouch for 90% of the mom population when I say my butt's a bit lower than it used to be. Yikes. I'm hoping BBL can give me a nice little bit of oomph to my booty. I checked out tons of success stories before I ordered it, and i'm feeling confident. If pain is any indication of it working, then by all means, IT.IS.WORKING. Holy cow...is it EVER working!!

I am still loving the heck out of Insanity. Best and toughest cardio i've ever done! If you're looking for something to blast off the fat, this my friends, is it. It will beat the crap out of you!! I can't wait for Asylum, the next installation of Insanity, coming out in summer 2011!! Yee hee!! I'm a glutton for punishment, but i am SO happy with how my body looks, that there is NO WAY i'm going back to what it was in October of 2009. This is my new lifestyle, and i'm going to continue to rock it.

Eating-wise, I'm practically vegetarian at this point. Because of Clairey's (my youngest daughters) gymnastics schedule, plus my oldest daughter's (Jenna) piano and Brownie schedule, we're rarely home for dinner. Both myself and my girls are heavily fortified through Shakeology, GrapeNuts cereal, and oatmeal. I generally cook on Sundays, and THAT usually involves meat. Since i've stopped eating so much meat though, when I do eat it (particularly red meat), i end up with a tummy ache. I'm still doing a rendition of Tony's Rant Diet, which now is just a part of my daily life. Cutting white/enriched flour from my diet is one of the best things i've ever done. After the first week of no white flour, I felt such a huge difference (and SAW a huge difference in my belly). I don't think i could go back to it--like red meat, when I eat it, my tummy hurts.

I can say with 100% confidence that this is the HEALTHIEST i've ever been. I know that I'm a Beachbody coach, but I couldn't have gotten this far without the encouragement and motivation from all my buddies and friends i've met on beachbody.com. I hope the people I coach feel the same way about me! :)
