Insanity Maddy

I have decided to add a workout section to my blog. I don't really think I have a definitive blog and I want to get it more organized to where it has more of a purpose other than my random ramblings. I have started to hit my workout routine harder these days and I am hoping to continue it. Today started my second try at insanity. My first try I ended up getting the flu during the first week and I just never started it back up once I got better.  This workout is extremely hard. I can't do all the reps nor can I keep up with them but I am hoping in the end I will be close to doing it all at the same speed they go. I took my measurements down and will continue to monitor my progress and let you all know how it goes. I would love to lose 15 lbs from it, but that is highly doubtful that will happen for me. I am having to get my mind set determined in order to complete the insanity workout. Today I watched the extreme makeover weight loss edition and that show got me so pumped to do my first insanity workout and I found it kept me going longer than if I had just said hey, I'm gonna do insanity. I am learning to do workouts for an extended period of time it is about where your mind is. As they said on the show you have to separate your mind from your body and for whatever reason I'm just figuring this out. I can usually last 20 minutes in a workout which isn't bad, but I'd like to push myself and be the type that can workout for hours throughout the day. I skipped the fit test because that isn't my focus and I have done the fit test the first time I did this program and know I am in need of a good shape up lol. I am sore from my workout yesterday, which was the s.w.a.t one. My workout routine will be monday-friday because saturday and sunday are devoted to maddy and she won't let me workout right now lol. I won't be doing insanity every single day because i do get bored with workouts over time and where as insanity changes it up here and there it is ultimately the same type of routine. If you know anybody interested in learning about workout programs or just want support in losing weight please pass my blog along to them. I am looking for new followers and would love to help out any way i can.
I am so proud of myself for remembering I have a camera now that I can take pictures with. When me and Maddy got home we headed straight for the kitchen to eat bite bites. I let her choose where she wants to sit: her highchair, her booster seat, or a regular seat at the table. I try to steer her toward her booster seat, but tonight she wanted in her high chair. Her dinner was spinach and cheese ravioli and juice. A while back I bought her this cute cup at old navy that has a straw that she can't pull out. She is always pulling out her straws and ends up throwing them so I thought this would help teach her not to do that. I wasn't thinking, however, that it wouldn't be spill proof and she dumped a lot of cherry icee on her (i believe) white shirt. Mommy was not very happy that day, but I wasn't mad at her..just frustrated at myself for not thinking of the cons. I decided to let her use her cup with her dinner tonight and she did so well with it. Not once did she try to turn it upside down...she actually wanted to drink from it so mommy just gave her all kinds of praise and she loved it. Here are some pics:

After dinner Maddy let me know that it was book time. She grabbed the book and we headed to the couch. One of the books we read all the time is called, "Goodnight Gorilla."

After we read the book a few times Maddy decided she wanted to watch tv. This still amazes me that she asks for the tv because this child has never been a tv person. I'm still hoping I will be able to take her to at least one wiggles show but I don't know if she is going to like them or not...she loves their dog though lol.

After a little tv it was time to take everything out of her shopping cart and then put it all back in. She likes to hand me items in her cart one by one and then once she is done she tells me to put it back. She is a very routine child.

She is also a very good mama. She carries her baby around with her everywhere she goes. She used to only carry one baby, but she has become ok with holding the one in this pic as well.
