Insanity!

Michael and I saw an infomercial for Insanity 60 day workout dvds and I knew that I wanted them.  So, what does my wonderful husband do?  He got them for me.  So today I did the fit test to see how fit I was.  You are supposed to take the fit test about every 2 weeks to track your progress.  They give you, I think, 8 different cardio movements, you do one for a minute and then you rest for about a minute and then you do the next set for a minute and continue on until you are done with the 8 excersizes.  I started out strong but even half way through the warm up you do before the fit test I was out of breath. I got through 5 of the excersizes and couldn't go on anymore.  I was breathing heavily and I could feel my heart beating.  I just walked until the video was done but I was starting to feel my stomach start to ache a little.  Kinda like it does when I have excersized and then drink too much water.  I just kept walking around the living room.  Then I started feeling nautious.  I went to the kitchen and leaned over the sink.  I thought I was going to throw up.  I got super light headed and I think I almost passed out.  I put my head down and finally my stomach stopped and I started feeling better.  Holy cow!!!  I have never experienced anything like it before.  But I am not giving up!!!  I just know that I need to take it WAY slower!  I will let you know how it all goes in future posts. 

P.S.  I just saw a picture of me and my sisters at lunch a couple of weeks ago and I couldnt believe how big I looked.  That is why I want to work so hard, so I can feel better about how I look.  I cant wait for this program to be done and I can see the difference.

The Best Kid in the World

I took McKenzie to a friend's birthday party on Saturday and there was a magician doing a show for the kids.  After one of his tricks, he told everyone he was supposed to make an announcement.  He turned on his i-pod that was hooked up to a speaker and we heard a male voice say, "We have just been notified that the worlds greatest kid is here in the room today.  Would the worlds greatest kid please stand up and take a bow."  As soon as all the kids heard this they were all looking around the room to see who the worlds greatest kid was.  There were about 20 kids in the room and after a short pause, the birthday boy slowly got up and took a bow.  I thought it was the greatest.  You could almost hear all the kids thinking, "Who is it?  Who is the worlds greatest kid?"  I need to tell Kenzie that HE is the worlds greatest kid and if he is ever asked he needs to say so.
