10 days over with!

10 day milestone is done with today!

I have mix emotions about today's workout. I was able to do the entire warm up without resting. The only difference I do is keep jogging out when your suppose to do jumping jacks. And I wasn't trying to look for an oxygen tank after the warm up either!

Once the 1st set of the 1st combination was full on I was still able to keep going without resting. But towards the last set of this combo my shin was unbearable. I take fault because I didn't take ibuprofen till right before the workout, I didn't give it enough time to take affect.

I was sad because mentally I was still in the workout and able to keep up. My breathing was fine but not my leg. I had to jump back in once it was Insanity's version of push ups. I guess the positive is I gave it all I could while my leg was good. I'm gonna have to take ibuprofen at least an hour before.

But aside from the leg mishap I feel great after the workout. 

Enchilada Soup

I saw this recipe on Sandra Lee's show on foodnetwork called 'Tortilla Soup' but not only do I not understand why its called torilla because it has no tortilla in it, I also had to add seasoning.

My Tortilla Enchilada Soup

1 cup diced red onion

1 1/4 pounds ground turkey

3/4 tomato puree

4 cups chicken stock

1 tsp crushed garlic

1 tbsp diced jalapeno

2 tbsp enchilada mix sauce (find these next to seasoning in packets)

3 small bay leaves

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

1 cup of black beans (rinsed and drained from can)
1 cup of Mexican blend shredded cheese to top with.

sour cream to garnish

and I used some of my taco night salsa to garnish on top also.

- Just sautee onions, jalapeno, and ground turkey till cooked.
- Add your chicken stock, tomato, garlic, bay leaves and bring to boil.
Bring down to simmer add black beans, and cilantro let simmer for about 10min.
Serve top with your garnish and enjoy!

Pure Hell.. I mean Pure Cardio

I can't emphasis how much I hate Pure Cardio DVD!

It purely sucks!

But I did see improvements I was able to attempt about 5reps of each move.

Ive notice my breathing has been the biggest health change Ive felt and seen. I can breath better and I don't lose my breath as much, which is tremendous help when carrying a sleeping 1 year old dead weight upstairs to his crib. But all in all this DVD kicked my butt!

...Is it Cardio Recovery yet!?

Taco Night

I had some left over chicken from the other night. I shredded it up and made tacos with corn tortillas.

All I had to do was reheat it and make a salsa.

Half of avocado

3/4 cup of green pepper

3/4 cup Tomato

3/4 Red Onion

1/2 cup of black beans

about 1/4 cup cilantro



2nd Week on Insanity

Cardio Power and Resistance

AMAZING! Now that Im repeating the DVD's I get to compare how I did now to when I first started. Im shocked by the improvement. I was able to complete one whole set of each combination and keep up with Shaun T without resting!!!! Im so excited.

Not only does my body feel great but I feel great mentally. Im pumped!

Seeing the improvement feeds my energy.

Press Play. Push harder. Dig Deeper.
