re: Weight loss journey

I got my samples for the ViSalus yesterday, they taste freaking AMAZING!   So, I ordered the transformation kit.. pretty pricey, but hopefully it works.

I also started back on Insanity, man.. it's INSANE!   But I love it.

Oh! And I weighed myself after I got off work.. 181.7lb. BOOYAH! (Don't count that weight, because I'll weigh again on Sunday!)

My workout for today -

Insanity - Plyometric Cardio Circuit
Softball for 2 hours.
Run/Walk for half an hour.

I'd say that's a pretty awesome day.

Yes for sure! So you really like the taste of the Vi stuff? Does it make you feel satisfied? I'm excited to track your progress  

I weighed in today at 190.5 so I lost a pound or something, who knows it's probably water weight lol. Not that I am trying to lose weight though, just so no one rips me a new one lol.

Yeah, I seriously love it! I did a regular shake with no mix in's at 10:00am and it tasted like like melted sweet cream ice cream. Then for a late lunch at 4:00 (I wasn't even hungry but figured I should eat before softball!), I mixed frozen blackberries and raspberries and some spinach in it and it tasted like this Orange Julius drink I used to get.

Then for dinner I had a lean pocket and some grapes, because I wasn't hungry at all.. so it really does keep me satified!

I'm excited to see what the next 90 days bring!  

And Nichole, you're weight gain hasn't been bad at all this pregnancy! Especially for how far along you are.   I hope next time I can follow by not gaining a bajillion pounds.

Yeah it really hasn't been bad, I am 26 wks tomorrow and I have gained 7 lbs so far.. I think it has to do with me weighing so much to start with though, ya know? I like know that I will have to lose every pound I gain plus the 30 I was overweight to begin with so it kinda deters me from being too bad lol...

Well I can't wait to see your progress, because if you have good progress and love it I think I will try it after I have this little girl. I'll have to wait a while since I'll BF though... Hopefully this time Bf'ing works with me weight loss wise instead of against me like last time.

I've heard it's actually safe to do these while pregnant and breastfeeding, but while breastfeeding, instead of replacing 2 meals, you only replace one - and they're all natural, just packed with protein and vitamins!

I feel ya, I hope that by the time we TTC I'm at a good weight and only gain 15lb. lol.

I'm excited to see this progress too. I hope all the hype about them is true.

Oh well that's good to know then! I love doing meal replacements with shakes, some ppl don't feel satisfied with that but I always do! Yeah my goal was to gain 15lbs this pregnancy. I have about 14 wks left depending on when I deliver so idk if I'll be able to only gain 8 more lbs in that much time, especially since that's when baby starts adding fat, but I will try. I don't think 1/2 lb a week is unreasonable at all but in the past I tended to gain a pound a week at the end lol!

Insanity - Pure Cardio just KICKED my ass! But I feel so good now.   I've officially completed 4 days of it now, I'm pretty proud of myself.

Seriously awesome, first week is always the hardest for me!

I'm really hoping I weigh in under 180 on Sunday!

Oh yeah that reminds me I was back up to 192 on Monday lol. I seem to go up and down from 190-192 over and over again.
