I don't know what's happened in the past 6 months, but I've been steadily gaining weight, and I am now at around 140 lbs. I've basically gained back all the weight that I lost, right after I had Cal, and went on a mondo workout and eat-right routine.
I hate the way I look in pictures at the moment, so that's why you haven't seen any of me in so long. (and I got a bobbed haircut a few months ago - how I convinced myself that weight gain and a shorter hair-do would serve me well, I have no idea).
On a good note, however, my husband finally got a job. He works security for the MIM (Musical Instrument Museum) in Paradise Valley, AZ. And he also got contacted by the Phoenix Police Reserves, saying that they were accepting his application, and now he can schedule psychological and fitness tests. So things are going well for him, finally.
But now that both of our schedules are packed, I have even less time to find out how to fit in a workout.
I'm frustrated with myself because I hear myself making excuses, but to be honest - most of the time I would rather catch up on my sleep, than wake up early to workout or go for a run. It's as simple as that.
My sister bought me Insanity - which for those of you who don't know - is truly not for effin' beginners. P90X is much better at showing different ways that you can build up endurance and strength, but the Insanity workouts are straight up plyo-cardio, non-stop for 40 minutes. It's no joke.
I've done a few days of Insanity - but fell off the horse. I can't get that endorphin high from it just yet - I just keep wanting to throw up half way through!!
Ugh - this is a gripe session. I know what I need to do to drop the weight. I did it once, and I can do it again. But I'm starved for time, this go 'round.
Will keep u updated on further developments of this mommy weight debacle.

I just happened to come across your post and i wanted to say don't give up. The whole weight thing is as complex as it seems. I too am a beginner at Insanity and it is VERY hard. This morning I had to stop and come up because I was about to pass out. I'm so used to going to the gym on an empty stomach and I thought I could do the same thing for Insanity. NO WAY!!! I needed to fuel my body that's why halfway through the warm-up I almost fell to the floor. Just know you are not alone trying to conquer Insanity. Just take it one day. At a time, pace yourself, and don't give up. Rome wasn't built in a day. Happy Easter good luck and God Bless.
