New Year's Resolution Insanity

Baby K has recently passed the 6 month mark and the extra baby weight is not looking so excusable anymore. The New Year has led me to making the cliche resolution: lose the extra pounds. I have never really been a gym kind of person and, with baby K around, it would pretty much be impossible to go to one without sacrificing our evening family time. So I had to come up with something else...

Back in the day I used to attend various dance classes to stay fit. I prefer fitness classes because I don't think  that I am self-motivated enough to come up with or stick to my own routine. So I decided to start an at-home fitness workout program: Insanity



My father-in-law has completed the Insanity program with amazing results. He has been able to successfully lose 36 pounds and has adapted a healthy lifestyle to keep it off. I was able to borrow the DVD's and this week R and I started.

My R is so sweet. He is doing Insanity also to support and motivate me. I do much better with buddies than I do by myself. R went and got a scale so we could track our weight loss and I love it. How silly is it that I love our scale? Probably very silly to most but for anyone that knows me very well, they'd get it when they see it.


I love all things teal. Or turquoise. Or aqua. Or mint. Or pretty much anything in that color family. I try to incorporate it into our home decor as much as possible without it looking like too much. This is why I was so thrilled that R picked it himself. Typically he is the first to battle with that color choice because to him everything we own is teal. I promise that is not true but I get why he feels that way.

So here's to a healthier year. We'll be doing our best to eat a little better and work out a little harder. I'll keep you posted on our results. Thankfully Insanity is only a 60 day program because day 4 is already kicking our butts!
