Day-19 -23 - Insanity Challenge
DID YOU MISS ME??
I have not given up..I have been doing my exercises daily....Technical issues plus tiredness have prevented me from updated my blog recently. I have a few injuries...My knees ache sooo I have toned down a bit on the jumping.
The exercise programe is just as intense at day 23 as it is at Day one...but hear this I a doing the exercises with fewer breaks. I can't wait for my fitness test thats coming up in the next week and a half.
I am doing this update at work (during my break... yes let me put in this disclaimer...lol)...so I cannot directly post it to FACEBOOK..yeah I have restrictions at work with all social media...hheheh. When I get home I'll post it to my face book page
And guess what I lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks....isn't that amazing...I am sooo excited... I have really began to see the changes in my body. So lets do the maths....this program is 8 weeks and if I continue to lose 5 lbs every 2 weeks that 20 lbs .....whaaaaaaaa excitement excitement........ and then a further 8 weeks 20 more lbs then another 8 weeks 20 more lbs...and then I am even closer to my GOAL.
I CAN DO IT....YES I CAN......
Thank you for those who have been encouraging me along the way, it has been an arduous journey...but I am committed to this challenge.
Look out for my blog today as well on Day 24....Yeahhhhhh

Day 18-Insanity Challenge
Today I did absolutely nothing. This is the second day in the row that my body refused to cooperate with my nind. In my mind I knew that I should continue but my body was telling me a different story. I felt drained, in pain, and exhausted. My knees hurt, the soles of my feet are crying out for help. So I decided to listen to my body and take a break.
And you know what I feel so much better today. Changing your lifestyle is definitely a challenge and I have realise that simply adhereing to the status quo does not always work..you may have to deviate from your plan a little bit as long as you stay true and committed to your untimate goal.
For those who are doing the challenge as well...stick with it. If you can go thorough the entire 60 days as plan..koodoos to you. Consider it a remarkable achievement.
As for me I will fall back into my routine today and continue. Today I pick up on day 19th...yeahhhh.

Day-16 and 17 - Insanity Challenge
Well i have not forgotton you.
But here what...funny story.
I had to create and email account with I create this blog...so from the time I stared to post I would enter the blogspot through facebook...click the link then it would take me directly to the blog and i just created a new post. But for some reason yesterday it asked me to log in and for the life of me...I couldn't remember the email address. lol.. I tried all possible things but it just wasn't coming to me.
Anyway I decided to contact gmail support to day to find out if they can help me. They told me yes and the technician ask me if I would allow him to view my computer...me being naive and without thinking twice i told his yes so he proceeded to enter my computer....i thought he was gonna help me but then he proceeded to run some test and then a message showed up saying that spyware and virus was found infecting up to 65% of my files and order for him tohelp me retrive my email addres there would be a charge related to get rid of the virus....WTH...but during the process, he moved the mouse over an icon which reveal my email address...and then it came back to me what it was..So which means he knew what my email address was but was trying to swindle money out of meee....I hope I dont regret giving him access to my comp...I am paranoid about that
Well yesterday was Day 16 and I did the Plyometric Cardio Circuit....i honestly felt very drained and just went through the motion.
Today Day 17 I did absolutely nothing....I got home late today and by the time i got london dinner, bath and bed time...it was almost time to go to class ( Im doing some courses and my class start at 9 p.m),
So difinitely will be on back on tract for tomorrow.
Im writing dowm my email address right now.
I know there are many typo's but im rushing to log on to my class...so dont mind the error....u get the jiss....lol

Day 15 - Insanity Challenge
FIT TEST
Comparing my fit test from two weeks ago...there has definitely been some improvement. I got the same score fo the Power Knees and Power Jumps....I think its because it's very difficult for me with this weight to do the jumps.
I'll definitely aim for more reps at my next fit test in two weeks.
So how do you think I did... Let me know, post your comments.
Tomorrow it starts all over....wow am I excited (sarcastically) LOL
