"Bodybugg"...My New Best Friend!!!

 

Look what hubby had delivered last night!!! A bodybugg!!! I wore it today while I mowed the lawn completed INSANITY Cardio & Resistance, did 2 miles on my treadmill and then completed INSANITY Cardio Recovery. I burned 1491 calories (2240 if you include my resting and miscellaneous activities). I  also love that you can see your results in real-time with your smartphone*(Android™ and iPhone). You wear it all day and can even sleep with it and it tells you your cal burn through the night. AWESOME TOOL with over 90% accuracy!

 

~ A small synopsis of what the bodybugg is...

 

The Bodybugg is a contemporary gadget geared toward women and men who are trying to shed excess body weight. The purpose of this tool is to reveal how long the user has exercised, how much food they’ve consumed that day, if they’ve reached their daily target, and how many calories have been burned. The Bodybugg has been featured in publications like Women’s Health, CNET, News.com, PC World’s Digital Duo, Self, and BusinessWeek Online. Although the Bodybugg device does not directly aid in the weight loss process, it is intended to be utilized as one piece of a comprehensive weight loss routine.

I believe it will take me to the next level of physical fitness and health... more reviews coming as the weeks go by.

Keep Pushing!!!

Ohhhhhh my goodness, this is what I kept telling myself.... I just completed INSANITY Day 8 and 1.41 miles on my treadmill. I was so sweaty that I heard a squishy sound whenever I walked... LOL!!! I can't count how many squats, power jacks, push ups and power jumps I did. Every part of my body is tired. When I smile my knees hurt and when I scratch my head my elbows tingle. My body is in shock :-) I am actually contemplating doing a mile cool down during soccer practice tonight. Shawn T is making me INSANE!!!
~ No matter what you're doing to achieve a healthier you DON'T STOP!!! Yes it hurts, yes it's difficult, yes you WILL have to say NO but don't give up! Make it count! Feel the burn! Dig deeper! Enjoy the benefits!!! I'm right there with you telling you that " YOU CAN " every step of the way! Go get it!!!!~

Finished Week 1 of Insanity~

Just dropping in for a quick update!  Let's see... my past week consisted of inlaw visits, last day of school parties, field trips, soccer games and practices, football practices, major house cleaning, church activities, squeezing in some QT with my hubby, shopping for vacay and oooooh... INSANITY!  I'm soooo proud of myself for sticking with those workouts and pushing myself til the end.  When they say that those workouts are insane, it's an understatement.  I've succeessfully followed through with every intense workout and have been left covered in pure sweat from head to toe. I actually ran/power walked after every insanity workout this week (17.55 miles for the week)!!!  Woo hoo!!!!  Now that's what you call pushing yourself!!!  Here's a pic of my starting weight which also happens to be month 1 weigh in pics for the weight loss challenge i'm currently in.

In addition to pushing myself to the limit, I am also proud to say that I tried on a dress that I hadn't worn in 12 years (2000) and it fit!!!!  Oh my!!!  I was completely overjoyed, as was hubby.  Sunday, I decided to wear a *gasp* SKIRT!!!!!!  Yes, I know.... you're probably thinking that it's not such a big deal.  Well, actually it is!  I hadn't worn a skirt in at least 3-4 years! Now, granted this skirt is rather long and flowy.... with that maxi dress feel BUT it is such a huge change for me.  A friend of mine has been trying to get me to wear form fitted clothing (particularly short skirts and heels) and i'm no where near being comfortable with that... at the moment :-).  Maybe when I draw nearer to my goal weight???  We'll see.  Anyway, here's a pic of me in a skirt (on the left) and my 12 year old dress (on the right). 

Soooooo many huge success!!! Today starts week 2 of insanity.  Today's workout, Cardio Power & Resistance promises to push me to the limit.  I will conquer it and much more!!!  I'm so determined! 

Here are a few more pics of my girls and I.... enjoy!
