INSANITY

Because I am a glutton for pain, over the next 60 days, I’ll be test-driving the Insanity workout. Like its cousin P90X, the Insanity DVD series focuses on intense intervals; however, unlike similar programs, it features body-weight exercises, plyometric moves and cycled in quick succession.
Shaun T, a fitness expert and former track star, is the creator and host of the Insanity workout. I placed my order today.  When it arrives I suppose the insanity will begin!

Opening The Floodgates...

As many of you know we have undergone MUCH change in our life recently.  Without going into all of it detail for detail I will say that our family has been challenged in big ways recently.  Felipe is gone overseas at his new job for 6 months, the kids and I moved a month ago by oursleves and I closed the business that I had worked so hard to build.  We went from a 3300 sqft home to a 1200 sqft 3rd floor apartment and have half of our things in 2 large storage units.  It was a lot all at once but here we are forging ahead and doing pretty well considering the challenges that we have faced along the way.  Many challenges that are far too personal to put on a blog but none the less here we are!

Being a single parent really is a HUGE challenge and I have had to truly adjust to it little by little.  In order to conquer the many challenges that we face right now I have pulled ALL of my resources together and I have made MASSIVE changes in my life.  I had already began small changes awhile ago before all of these recent bumps appeared on our path and it had all started with something called Lifeclass!  Felipe and I did Lifeclass together back then and continued to do so until he left.  I stuck with it after he left and it introduced me to Tony Robbins this season.  WOW, what a gift!  He is amazing and I have since started his Ultimate Edge program.  Though something that he did on the Lifeclass Season Finale has stuck with me and I have continued to do it weekly.  It is called "The Emotional Flood Excercise".  Click HERE to watch it.  This has changed my life!  I wanted to share it with all of you and all of my FB friends since this blog is linked into my FB.  I urge everyone to try it.  Turn it up loud because the music is as effective as his words and participate in it fully...trust me you will be glad you did!  ENJOY and wish us luck as we push forward during this challenging time in our life! 

GRATITUDE is a gift!!! Do you keep a gratitude journal??? Both of my kids and myself have started our gratitude journals and it is a wonderful!  Start yours today!!!
