Review of Shaun Ts INSANITY!

Dear Boys and Girls,

I purchased Insanity almost as soon as it was released. Well, within the hour, actually. But, I did not have it sent to me by express mail, well, because I was scared!

Scared of what? Scared of working hard, scared of...see, I can't come up with any other reason to be scared, other than that. Anyway, I woke up Saturday morning and said, "Forget this! I'm going to face my fears! This is silly!"

And so, we popped in the dvd and got to work. I am naturally dramatic; I have always been that way. But, please believe me when I tell you that there is ZERO drama in this video! I really was out of breath and dying! Well, not dying, but it was tough! Gosh, if I had it my way, I would have made myself look like a rock star throughout all the moves. Instead, I was clumsy and found myself needing to stop a few times.

I am work in progress, moving in the right direction...to a state of rippedness!!

Bring it!!! INSANITY, here I come!!!

Shaun T's INSANITY is HERE!!!

Boys and Girls,

Some of you may remember this photo:

It was taken back in May during Shaun T's live workout to INSANITY, his brand new program that had not yet been released.

Well...It's here! It's here!! It was released last night!!!

At one point during my workout back in May I thought that I would have to stop to, um, puke. I'm not kidding. It was that intense.

If you're looking for a killer workout that will help take your body to the next level, I say go for INSANITY. It is not for the faint of heart.

For the next week or two, I will keep enjoying, yes enjoying Slim in 6 while I wait for my copy of Insanity to arrive. I ordered it yesterday.

I'm scared of the intensity, I'll be honest. But, heck, I'm up for a challenge! If you think I have gotten great results, just wait til life after Insanity!

Bring it!!

Shakeology Workout: Wanna Lose 10 lbs in 90 days Working Out Just 3 Times a Week?

Dear Boys and Girls,

I know that working out six times a week with BeachBody products may not be for everyone. But don't let that keep you away from getting in shape and/or losing weight!

BeachBody just released their Shakeology Workouts. Subjects in a 90 day studied lost an average of 10 lbs and 2 inches off their waist by drinking Shakeology as a meal replacement and working out moderately just three times a week.

I haven't viewed the workouts, but some of you might be interested. I do, however, love my Shakeology.

Here is some info taken from a newsletter BeachBody sent out this morning.

If you click here, you will be taken to my beachbody page. If you make a purchase, you automatically get me as your free coach.

Bring it!

What Does A Barbie Eat?

Dear Boys and Girls,

I'm back! I didn't do too badly in the food department this past weekend...well, compared to last time. But, no matter, I am back to eating super duper clean!

Even if you are not in on the Slim Spot Eating Clean Challenge, I hope you will join me on my eating clean and pressing play journey.

SLIM SPOT CHALLENGE: STARTING TUESDAY, JULY 7th!

Barbie's Slim Spot Challenge

Hey, Boys and Girls! It's time for another Slim Spot Eating Clean and Pressing Play Challenge. Many inches and pounds were lost by both those who stuck it out the whole four weeks during out last challenge and even by those who fell out of the challenge but got right back on! The moral of the story is: If you eat clean, you see results! Again, kids, ALL those who stuck it out for all four weeks, dropped both inches and/or pounds. This could be the push you need to get you from where you are to where you want to be! The Challenge is open to everyone who already does or would like to regularly contribute to my message forum, Barbie's Slim Spot. DATES: TUESDAY, JULY 7th until (INCLUDING) August, 1st. That's just 26 days!! RULES OF ENGAGEMENT: 1. You PRESS PLAY Five or Six Times a week, depending on your program. If you miss a workout, you're out of the challenge. 2. You EAT CLEAN six times a week. It's up to you if you want to stuff yourselves like a bell pepper on your cheat day. But, I recommend a cheat MEAL and not a cheat day. Eating clean is defined by following a 40% carb, 30% protein, and 30 % fat meal plan. It is possible as I said to someone the other day, to eat 1400 calories worth of chicken. That doesn't mean you're eating clean, since it's not well-balanced. I'm just trying to provide a guideline, I understand others may be doing carb manipulation or have certain dietary restrictions. We're flexible, just ask! 3. YOU ARE ALLOWED "ONE ADDITIONAL CHEAT SNACK" in this 26 DAY PERIOD. That means, Out of the 26 days during which you are doing the challenge, you may treat yourself to ONE CHEAT SNACK (like a cookie or a glass of alcohol) in addition to your cheat meal. If you have a second cheat snack, you are out of the challenge. 4. You MUST report daily IN RED FONT for the preceding day ON THE SLIM SPOT MESSAGE BOARD. For example, "Yesterday, I ate clean and pressed play." ERIN is this challenge's leader, so please go to the Slim Spot to hold yourselves accountable to ERIN and the group DAILY. 5. You have until Tuesday morning to take your measurements AND pictures. You don't have to post them. But you absolutely have to take pictures and measurements! At the end of the challenge, we will put the WARRIORS NAMES IN A HAT TO DETERMINE THE WINNER! THE PRIZE: Tony's One on One Video, Fit Kids Club, or Keep it Up! Will you be the last man/woman standing?! YOU BE THE JUDGE!!!

Day 90 of P90X and Slim in 6: Barbie's RESULTS!

Dear Boys and Girls,

Day 90 of my P90x and Slim in 6 hybrid is here. I'll be honest, I am completely shocked by my results.

I had more slips than usual over the past three months due to travel and a more active social life. My one cheat meal per week often turned to a cheat weekend, which sometimes left me feeling fat and frustrated with myself.

But no matter how often I got derailed on the weekends (and once in a while on weeknights), I always returned to eating clean on Monday or if it was a weeknight, the following day. Too many people let a bad day determine their week, or a bad weekend determine their week or month or life.



I actually took these pictures today, two days shy of day 90, because I wanted to motivate myself to not overeat this holiday weekend. I didn't expect these results. Had I not been pleased with my pictures, I still would have been more determined to not stuff myself like a potato over the next four days. Now that I am thrilled with what I see, I would very much like to keep my progress.

So, off I go to Michigan for three days to celebrate the 4th of July. Will I splurge? Yes, probably, most likely, no doubt. But, will I go crazy? No! I've got my mind right...I hope!

Stay strong, people! Enjoy, but don't go totally crazy!

Get It Done and Over WIth!

Dear Boys and Girls,

With a research application deadline looming (I have to turn it in before I leave on vacation Friday), I woke up asking myself: Will I have time to work out? You see, I am at my sharpest in the early morning.

But, before I could rationalize skipping my workout, I made some coffee, put some workout clothes on, and Pressed Play.

The mentality that "I'm too busy to work out today" is what got me in the trouble in the past. I am never going back there again.

It's 8:03 pm and I find myself asking, "Should I skip my workout tomorrow morning so I can get my application done in time?"

Why do we play these psychological games with ourselves? I'm not sure, but I know what I have to do. Tomorrow morning I will be getting up super duper extra early to Burn It Up with Slim in 6.

If you don't have time to work out, then you need to make some time by getting up earlier.

Yes, mam, I am on it.

It's late. I'm off to make a quick dinner and then it's back to the books.

Bring it, people!
