Well I'm not going to make excuses for why I haven't posted. :) Nothing new in the neighborhood, still plugging along like a crazy person. (I admit, I have now officially skipped a work-out. It was Thanksgiving! Yesterday, I cooked all morning and due to the fact we had to leave shortly after to make Thanksgiving dinner at a friend's house, it was necessary. Hey people, Thanksgiving feast before working out. It'll win every time.) I have one inch to go to get to my waist goal (which was really my only concern coming into this), and with the holidays starting to round the corner, I'm getting a little iffy about the fact that I'll probably gain thirty pounds with the trip home. There is so much food I've been missing!!! (Chipotle, Ameristar Crab legs, Zio's, I could go on?) Having said that, I do intend to be very strict (oh who are we kidding? Anyone that knows me knows my love for food. Moderately strict. That's better.) about my diet even after this whole thing is over with. Dane and I have solemnly vowed to each other that we are going to continue working out during our trip home. Sigh. There's no such thing as real vacation now.
This crazy ride is almost over!!! Week 11 is a significant point, because this is the last time I'll be doing some of these work-outs. No tears being shed over that, trust me. A little under 3 weeks to go to complete this, can we say, ecstatic??? I've never worked so hard in my life, and seen such amazing results after hanging in there and trusting for awhile. It has taken a lot of dedication, and I have truly discovered things about myself, as Tony himself promised that I would. :) I'm a mom of twins and I can fit into my skinniest pair of jeans now. That sentence should say it all.
Top 3 work-outs I still intend to do afterwards:
3) Plyometrics: Can't say enough good things about this one. You all know I started out hating this one more than anything in the world. I love it now. Love it. Love-hate it. Hate it. Mostly love it. It's a killer! Great cardio, fun moves.
2) Kenpo: Also started out hating this one, it's still not my favorite, but I get a good sweat. This will be for a less strenuous work-out day every now and then. I still look like a dork. No, I'm not posting a video.
1) Yoga: A good stretch is always needed. I dread it because it IS hard, but I feel amazing afterward.
I'm sure I'll still use a bunch of them. But one I NEVER intend to do again is Legs and Back. Worst, unbelievably painful work-out. I'd rather have cankles for the rest of my life. No joke. I'm going to burn that dvd when this is over.
Anyway, been a good couple of weeks, hopefully the next are even better! Until next time readers!

Whoa, pre-pregnancy jeans?! You're amazing.
I seriously love reading this. It's so motivating!
Thanks Diana! Nice to know at least a few people read my ramblings. ;) lol. Yeah I have like this plethra of jeans that vary from like 8's to the maternity jeans I was busting out of at the end. And I've slowly been making my way down to the 8's and finally comfortably wore them the other day! No better feeling than fitting into an old pair of jeans!! ;)
