Baconators and Insanity

Monday, July 12, 2010

Wendy.s came out with the Bacona.tor sandwich a few years ago. It always looked tasty to me, but there was no way I could justify the calories and fat. I always swore that while I was nursing, I would get one. You burn about 500 extra calories from nursing, so you get to eat a bit more and still lose weight. Well, I am in the process of weaning what is most likely my last baby. And I am about to start a killer new workout program. So, it was now or never. Today. I. Ate. A. Bacona.tor. And it was delicious and gross at the same time. I didn't finish it because the soggy, greasy, bun ended up grossing me out and I just couldn't do it to my arteries. While I am horrified about it, I also have something I can check off of my bucket list.

I am now back on the healthy eating wagon. I have to be. I bought Insanit.y! Have you heard of it? It's a crazy new workout program that is 60 days of the hardest most intense cardio you have ever experienced. I did the fit test last week and then attempted the first DVD right after. I got through the warm up and stretching and then Shaun T. said, "suicide drills." I told him to go away, and I turned off the tv and paced around the house until the urge to vomit subsided. The next day I did the first DVD again, without doing the fit test first and made it through. But, I promptly popped 3 ibuprofen for the pain that I felt creeping up on me.  I am officially starting the 60 day workout today and am really excited to see if I can make it through it. We took before photos (which I'm not going to post because I want to maintain some dignity) because if you send in your before and afters, they will send you a free t-shirt, which I will wear proudly. I am not expecting huge changes, just to drop the last 10 pregnancy pounds. Can I call them pregnancy pounds if they were left over from Liam when I got pregnant with Brendan? ;)


Wish me luck!

Pregnancy pounds are pregnancy pounds, so yes you can call them that. When you're done, I got dibs so I can drop my last 15 pounds from Noah.

Jaime, 1st off the grease soaked bottom is the best part. I love a burger so greasy you need a napkin in between EVERY bite. After attempting to do the 1st work out with you last night, I am proud of you. They call it Insanity for a reason. Good luck and Godspeed! --Bill

At least you have "pregnancy pounds." I have pounds but no pregnancy... ;) I'd love the link to a site where I could look at the DVD. I can't wait to hear how it goes for you!

You would attempt something called Insanity? That's insane! Hahaha! (Get it?) OK....I think I've moved into the slap happy zone. Wow...I'm impressed. How's it going? Are you made of steel now? I really do think that you need to post the before and after pics. Are you going to look like the people on the front of the CD? Could you please, please, please come give me a kick in the pants?!?!?! Haha-Bill's Godspeed made me laugh. But, at least he tried it.

Oops...I meant DVD. I think I hear my bed calling me.
