NSV: Non Scale Victory

Today I was grateful for NSV's!  I knew that I had a rough weekend but when I got on the scale this morning and saw that I had a 0 lb loss I was pissed!  BUT since today is the start of my 4th week it was time to do measurements again.  Here were my results:

Hips: -3

Waist: -2

Chest: -2

R thigh: -1

L thigh: -1

R arm: -.5

L arm: -.5

That's a total of -10 inches in only 3 weeks!!!!  I am soooo glad I took measurements!  If I'm not losing it on the scale at least I know I'm losing it in inches!!! 

Otherwise my day was great!  Since it's Weigh-In Wednesday I got to "cheat"  so I had some peanut butter m&m's! mmm.  I did day 3 of Insanity.  It was 40 minutes and I burned 616 calories!!! And this is what we had for dinner:

Stuffed Bell Peppers! Happy Wednesday!

Today was Day 2 of INSANITY and I am sooooo sore!!!!  Today I did Plyometrics Cardio.  It was a 35 minute video and I burned 525 calories!!!  My calorie intake was 1200.  Tomorrow is my 3rd weigh-in and I'm not 100% confident I met my -2 lb goal only because I had a "rough" weekend that consisted of alot of homemade cookies and pasta!  But I had a great day today and I'm excited to see some results (hopefully!)  Happy Tuesday!!!

Goin the Extra Mile! -Taylor

So as I finished my post last night (you know the "stupid cookies" post), I realized my kids were happily playing in the bath under Tyler's supervision and all I was doing was sitting on my rear doing nothing! So I got off the couch and did a quick 20 minute workout video in which I burned an extra 311 calories!  That almost took care of the "cookie" incident!  Afterwards I felt sooo good and so proud of myself for "going the extra mile." :)  Just thought I'd share!!! Hope you're doing well!

Wk3 Day6 -Taylor

Well I did my first day of INSANITY today!!! It was the "fit test" and it was CRAZY!!!! But I loved it!  The fit test was only 25 minutes and I burned 375 calories!!!  So I'm excited to see how tomorrow's workout goes! 

My eating was great today.  My breakfast, snack, and lunch came to about 550 calories!  Then after school I wanted to have some of my homemade cookies I made yesterday.  So I had 2 (I usually and 3+) with one cup of skim milk.  Well I felt good about it until I entered it into myfitnesspal.com.  Guess how many calories those 2 stupid cookies and cup of milk was!!?? 450 CALORIES!!!  So that "small" snack was almost as many calories as my entire day so far! UGH!  So I made my husband eat the rest of the cookies (and dough) so it wouldn't be a temptation anymore!  I finished the day with a salad and pulled pork.  I was still under my calorie goal but I was stunned at the amount of calories those cookies had!

Well I have one more day until Weigh In Wednesday!  My goal is -2lbs but I'm not gonna lie I'm not feeling too confident!  Oh well I'll just do my best and be happy with the results!  Happy Monday!

Monday Motivation -Taylor

Get and stay in control!! If you find yourself losing control, do everything you can to grab it again quickly. Don't let the work you've done and the success you've experienced be for nothing by letting go of your control. You make the choices. You be in control!

Wk3 Day5 -Crappy Weekend-Taylor

Wow I had a tough weekend!  The only exercise I got was whatever running around I did with the boys and my "healthy" eating involved chocolate covered strawberries! lol.   Oh well I know we all have ups and downs and this weekend was deffinately a "down".  Hopefully I can kick some booty Monday and Tuesday so I can still meet my -2 lb goal!  Have a GREAT week!!!

Wk3 Day3 -Taylor

    This was my workout yesterday!

I shook my grove thang for 41 minutes and burned 325 calories!!!  Not bad for a video game!  My calorie intake was 1200.  So I was under my goal! Woo hoo!

Also I'm starting this new workout!

I did this a couple years ago and it kicked my booty!!!! I'm super excited to try it again!  Hope you're having a GREAT week!
