This is what I'm hoping and praying for for Ms. Jenny Lynn tonight at the finals at the Olympia!! WOOT Girl you go GET IT!! 

I just got back in from running some errands...amazing how the day flies by when you have all that running around to do isn't it? BUT I did get a fantastic workout in this morning!! I did that one Kettlebell DVD that I love and then some biceps and triceps. And no- in case you are wondering- I'm not giving up on Insanity or nothing!! I just wanted to shake things up a bit today. I'll be doing Insanity workouts long term for sure. I love how travel friendly they are too. Awesomeness. But I gotta tell ya, I love that Kettlebell workout. There really should be more Kettlebell DVDs. I wasn't that thrilled with the ones I got from Amy Bento. 

Below are today's vlogs. Yes Plural. I started talking at the end of vlog one about this whole being POSITIVE AND NICE AND KIND and I wanted to finish. I've been exposed to so many very sad, pathetic, angry, bitter, jealous, mean and hurtful people- some of them mean/hurtful TO ME, some being that way to those that are close to me and it's just sad. There is nothing to be accomplished with negativity and acting with the intention to hurt or just be mean to another person. Believe me, I'm just like the next person who wants to be mean and put people in their place. And I could do that SO WELL. (WHAT?) But I choose not to, and I'm always glad looking back that I took the high road. I don't ever regret it. It isn't always easy but I'm proud to be a person that is happy, optimistic, excited, and KIND as much as I can be. 

Anyway- sorry for the overkill with TWO vlogs!! Whoa!! ;-) You guys have a great Saturday. Kick it in gear!! Weekend isn't over yet. 

GO JENNY GO JENNY!!

Hey Kids!! It's our last day in Miami!! And I shot a vlog yesterday but the lighting in our hotel is really OFF so I hope you'll forgive the lack of vlogginess going on. I was not pleased with how the video turned out.

Like the video above? Ready for your P90x or #INSANITY workouts? CLICK HERE for my BeachBody website kids and get ready to be blown away. 

I was so psyched to hear about Jenny Lynn winning the Europa. She is SO INCREDIBLE and inspires me so much. I'm gonna be honest guys, a major reason I'm looking forward to getting home is- because of my fitness goals. Being on vacation is wonderful, but I also have a lot of unfinished business and it's on my mind....so I'm not fully relaxed. And I'm so out of sorts without my Shakeology green smoothies...without - well just the comforts of my own HOME. I'M so excited to get home and really shake things up. Take it all up notches unknown, as Emeril would say.

I was pretty bummed this morning. Anna and I woke up and she went up to use the hotel gym, I got dressed to do my #INSANITY workout. But I was running into my workout right after waking up, at home, I get up, have my Tassimo Cappuccino, do some work for an hour or two, THEN do Insanity. Here, I started it I think a bit early and my stomach was just blellelelehehehe. So I had to cut it short. I have such a sensitive stomach I tell ya. I'm tough everywhere else but tummy- DANGIT!! That kind of stuff ticks me off.

And another reason I can't wait to get home is to share some great people and knowledge with you all. I met a fantastic guy on the plane on the way down here. Talk about fitness fanatic. Whoa. He so inspired me, I can't wait to spend some time with him back in Chicago and then FINGERS CROSSED hopefully I'll get him on a vlog to share some tips. This guy is amazing.

Then, I'll be visiting my friends at www.BestPriceNutrition.com. I told you all- you MUST MUST MUST order any and all of your supplements, powders, bars, and more there. But in addition, the people that work there store a wealth of knowledge that will rock your face off. Stay tuned. 

Anna and I have to run, breakfast and then SIGH more beach time. ;-) Later peeps!!

CRUSHED IT. Yes, here is another picture of the MAC DADDY Shaun T from Insanity. This man is your worst nightmare but how can you FAIL HIM?? Hello?? I do what he says, and after today's workout, I am ON FIRE. I am beyond in the zone. I am Zone 12~ whatever that means. You can't STOP THIS. WOOT!

Also, I'd like to share some Blog Love- check out my friend Joanna's website: My Favorite Things. She's got some great ideas on there and is sharing some fabulous recipes with me. I'll vlog about them after I make some! YUMMY!

Total Sweatfest Cardio Circuit Today. I was a sloppy sweaty mess at the end, begging for mercy. And the only thing I can think of at this moment is this song:

Hey Kids!! What's UP!! Did you have a kick butt week? Did you make yourself proud? Did you make PROGRESS and not excuses?? I did. I ROCKED THIS WEEK. I killed it. Absolutely. I'm so proud. I'm so psyched. I'm on FIRE. Life is good and getting better every day! WOOT!!!

I mention in my vlogs below that today I did the Plyo Cardio DVD from the P90X program. Holy Hell. Seriously. This ROCKED MY FACE OFF. I was blown away, in a good way. And now I'm even more psyched for Insanity!! WOOOOOOOOOO.

Here's a little info I got from BeachBody on INSANITY:

"WHAT IS IT?

INSANITY is a 60-day cardio-based total-body conditioning program that’s

perhaps the most intense workout ever put on DVD. Fitness expert Shaun

T drew on his collegiate track and field training plus his subsequent years

of experience as an elite trainer to create a program that takes total-body

conditioning to an extreme level.

Just as P90X is the height of resistance training, so INSANITY is the pinnacle

of cardio training.

WHY IS IT EFFECTIVE?

Interval training allows you to beat the “stress adaptation response,” which

is what happens when your body gets used to exercising at one level of

exertion and stops improving. An interval workout includes a set where you

perform at your maximum, followed by one of lower intensity, with the cycle

repeated to achieve a cumulative effect.

INSANITY uses MAX Interval Training which replaces your moderate intensity

exercise with maximum-intensity exercise, and your short intervals

of intensity with short periods of rest. Adding high-intensity exercise,

during which your heart rate is raised to 80 percent or more of its maximum

capacity, forces your body to use fast-twitch muscle fibers not normally

engaged in cardio exercise. These fast-twitch fibers continue burning extra

fuel even during lower-intensity exercise.

INSANITY’s high-intensity activity is likely to have you working out at

over 85% of your maximum, instead of the lower rate recommended in

other programs. As a result, you’ll experience faster increases in fitness and

more efficient burning of carbohydrates and fat—as much as 1,000 calories

per hour."

NOTE; 30-DAY GUARANTEE!!! YOU CAN'T BEAT IT.
