NO MORE CRASH DIETS! Insanity is a lifestyle change for me! Thanks Shaun T for giving me my life back!It's week 5 of recovery and I have lost 5lbs. I have lost 1lb every week instead of gaining, which is amazing! I thought I was adding on a lot of muscle but apparently I'm losing the weight first! I can't believe it. I've never been able to steadily lose the weight. No more crash dieting for me! Crash diets never work and you always gain the weight back. Now I can finally eat healty and exercise and look ripped! My dream body is finally coming true! Shaun T is the best trainer in the world in my opinion! His personality just fits me for training. I feel like his voice is perfect for the videos and he's so motivating! I want to try Insanity Asylum for my next 30 day challenge!

What do I think about Insanity?
- I absolutely love this workout! I have never gotten results this fast ever! I used myfitnesspal to keep track of my calories and it's been working for me. I haven't been able to lose the weight in years and actually keep it off! Forget about being skinny, I want to be ripped! The more muscle the better, to keep the fat off for good!MeekzBeautyParadisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05908308801375819357noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6885541573383885219.post-66417147707524162102012-05-21T10:59:00.001-06:002012-11-26T07:18:54.113-07:00Day 15 Insanity Fit TestI improved on my fit test all around!!!!

I liked this website where you can put in your age, weight, duration of exercise, and average heart rate. I did 54 mintues of Pure Cardio and then Abs and got an average heart rate of 167 beats per min (90% of my estimated maximum heart rate (186bpm). My heart rate max was 186 with my Polar F1 HRM. My calculation came out to an estimated 714 calories burned per hour. In 54 minutes and 6 seconds I will burn approximately 644 calories! WOW..

Men use the following equation: Calories = [(0.2017 x Age) + (0.6309 x Heart Rate) -- (0.09036 x Weight) -- 55.0969] x Time / 4.184.

I used this formula to calculate my calories burned at an average heart rate of 179 and a 40 minute workout. It comes out to 526 calories for my workout today. I have a HRM with a chest strap but it doesn't calculate calories burned. It's an F1 Polar HRM which I got a long time ago for spinning classes but I use it now for my Insanity workouts because it's "High Intensity Interval Training!" I just ordered the S7 HRM from Walmart and it was $29. I'm just using it to get the calories burned since I tried a pedometer and that didn't read accurately. It said I only burned 80 calories for 2 miles and that's not accurate for doing the Insanity workouts!

Before Insanity, I was in a rut. I used to run on the treadmill but started having right knee pain. Everytime I ran or walked downhill, my knee started to throb. I was getting discouraged because I wanted to work out, but I didn't think I could push myself without injury. I was actually scared that I wouldn't be able to do Insanity because of all the squats which used to hurt my knees. I decided to give Insanity a try because I thought I could just go at my own pace until I got stronger and I started Insanity May 7, 2012. It came to my surprise that I didn't have any knee pain from the Insanity workouts. I think the strength training actually helped me from having knee pain (like physical therapy). I push myself and I don't have any problems doing the workouts and I started seeing results in the 2nd week! I orginally wanted to lose 10lbs but then I started seeing my body tighten up and it gave me a new perspective. I really don't care how much I lose anymore, I just want to look ripped!! As long as I can feel healthy and look healthy, that is more important to me. The Insanity program has given me my life back! I feel so energized, motivated, and commmitted to this lifestyle change. Everyday I wake up, I am excited to push play on my DVD player because I know I will look good and feel good! It's not even the end up my 2nd week and I've lost 2.5 inches= 1lb!

I got my HRM up to 191 again and average at 170. I feel great and feel tighter. I can see my abs starting to form. I think I will post my 2 week pics after this week is over. 70% is changing your diet and 30% is keeping up with your exercise! I think for me changing more to a plant-based diet, that is more alkaline has made a tremendous difference. I am recovering so quickly and I don't feel sore! I am amazed by how I feel!MeekzBeautyParadisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05908308801375819357noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6885541573383885219.post-68601403049666501082012-05-11T09:53:00.001-06:002012-05-11T09:54:50.665-06:00Day 5 Pure Cardio- INSANITY!Finally got my HRM working again. Changed the battery and put the chest strap on and it started working once I started working out. I couldn't believe my HR got up to 190 for a 40 minute workout. That is insane!! CRAZY!! My average HR was 179, so I am at the max interval (167-178) which is 90-100% of my max heart rate. I'm probably not burning as much calories because I have to take breaks a lot to bring my heart rate down, but I am sweating like crazy!
Yesterday was Cardio Recovery for 40 mintues. It was yoga, pilates, strength training, and it was great to stretch out the sore muscles. I think Day 1 I was the most sore because I was just starting off. Now I feel the burn but I can make it through the day without whining about how sore I am! LOL!! I think I am getting stronger and I have tomorrow left and then Sunday off. I can't believe I excercised 6 days in a row! That is insane! I feel better... and I keep pushing myself to "DIG DEEP!!"
Shaun T has changed my life!! Thank you!!

I was pretty sore yesterday and today, but thankfully Ibuprofen and Aspercreme helped so I could get through my workouts. Actually, after working out my muscles weren't as stiff from yesterday and I just did some extra yoga stretches because my lower back was hurting. Drinking a recovery drink helps a ton too! This is the Vega protein shake that I drink and it's really good! I will definitely buy this again. You can get it at your health food grocery store.

THe workout was so hard but I dug deeper and stuck it out! I can't believe it:)
I'm drinking a Vega Shake post-workout and the flavor is Tropical Tango! It's only 95 calories, and it's lactose-free, Soy-free, Gluten-free, and Sugar free. It's only made with plants and fruit. I'm not a vegetarian but I love trying new foods and drinks that are healthy. It's really good and better tasting then the whey protein shakes that I have drank in the past.
I also started drinking Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almond Coconut Milk. It's only 45 calories.
I found some motivation to get my 6 pack ABS!!!

I felt like I paused it after doing the first 4 to take a rest, then I did another 2, rested (paused the DVD), then finished the rest. I thought the hardest one for me was the Globe Jumps (I can't jump and do squats very well, plus I have a bad right knee so I am a bit cautious). Suicide Jumps were really hard too (another squat and jump maneuver + planks), and then lastly, I would say Push-Up Jacks (it's hard to do push-ups fast and still get the right technique). I hope tomorrow I won't be too sore! I was so exhausted right after the FIT TEST!
I calculated my daily calories that I needed to lose weight but also have enough calories for this intense workout. They say you will burn 500-1000 calories in one work out and I believe it! I'm going to work out 6 days a week (they give you a calender), then take Sundays off to recover.
I will keep updating as I see my progress for the next 60 days!! Have a great day and I already feel better, especially that I have committed to this and I will "Dig Deeper!!!"
Another thing that I recommend is wearing a heart monitor. You don't realize how fast your heart is beating after a few minutes of this workout and you could burn-out real quick. Take a rest when you feel dizzy, nauseated, or out of breath, and go at the pace that you can so you don't make yourself sick. Eat a smaller meal before workouts, and eat/drink a recovery shake or something more dense post-workout.

I feel this scent is soft and sweet and a little warm at the same time, if that makes any sense. It can be worn in the winter or summer. I will definitely buy this again!

So I researched all of these pics of women with hazel eyes and what color makeup they were wearing. I had to add these pictures in because it inspired me to try new colors and I really wanted to bring out the green, gold, and even gray in my eyes. This is a fun challenge to find new eyeliner and eyeshadow colors that will change my look up!<br />

For instance if I want to bring out the green in my hazel eyes, I would go for purple or plum. I can even use browns, apricot, or greens for eyeshadow or eyeliner to enhance the eye color. If I use plum eyeliner my eyecolor will actually turn to a greenish gray and if I use brown eyeliner, my eyecolor will be dark green. I just noticed how green my eyes were when I wore a chocolate brown eyeliner today. I was stunned because I only had a champagne color eyeshadow on and black mascara. I guess it did the trick! I will stick to these colors from now on. I was so used to wearing black eyeliner that I strayed away from other colors, but I noticed that my eye color stayed hazel-brown and didn't change much. Here is the color wheel below so that you can pick colors that work best for your eye color.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCAczZX7u4nDNxqEriAHnf3VM9jx6-QWoAVeH2kevaim3ysgT156II3psvuFc0E7XLiWjP2fMUr-4Ini9EOgE4r78mFT9o0lDBKPn5FwkPO5r9HFizHFLjHAwq1bu-z3OCrMAWPDMx7Nw/s1600/color_wheel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" height="400" width="394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCAczZX7u4nDNxqEriAHnf3VM9jx6-QWoAVeH2kevaim3ysgT156II3psvuFc0E7XLiWjP2fMUr-4Ini9EOgE4r78mFT9o0lDBKPn5FwkPO5r9HFizHFLjHAwq1bu-z3OCrMAWPDMx7Nw/s400/color_wheel.jpg" /></a></div><br />

I use it when my skin looks dehydrated. I use it at night because it doesn't contain SPF and it feels like putting yogurt on your face to make it extra smooth and moist. When your skin is dewy and glowing, you will look younger. I noticed that my skin was looking dull because I used so many products for acne on my skin and it was severely drying it out. After I used this, it replenished my skin and my eyelids (which I needed because it was flaking from an allergic reaction I had to Benzoyl Peroxide products). I haven't had any irritation from Clinique's products. Now I know if my skin is getting too dry from the Salicylic Acid products, I just cut down to using it once a day and moisturize big time!<br />

It is safe to use around your eyes and also it can be used as a makeup primer. It feels velvety smooth and not greasy! I can't stand sunblock that is greasy. It doesn't make your face white either. It's great for everyday wear. If you are going to be spending all day in the sun, you should probably try their other SPF in 45. I didn't buy that one because the lady recommended the SPF 25 would be better for sensitive eyes. The reason why I switched to Clinique's sunblock is because the other brands were causing me to get breakouts. Once I made the switch, I haven't had any new blemishes since! I'm so impressed with this product.<br />

Don't use it for under-eye concealer. It will be too drying and may irritate your eyes. I use the whole line from the Acne solutions and find that I can still use the concealer that contains Salicylic Acid and not have any irritation to my face. It really covers redness flawlessly and treats your acne during the day. You can wear it alone without makeup to just hide blemishes too. It's perfect!<br />

These next products were free samples. I use it during the day under my eyes as a moisturizer. It is a super-antioxidant to fight free radicals and prevent signs of aging. <br />

I really like this foundation. It's medium to full coverage and it gives you an airbrush flawless finish. It's very light-feeling and blendable. I use the Clinique foundation brush to apply it to my face. This makeup has SPF 15 and has antioxidants and peptides for an anti-aging effect. I'm really liking this product! I would recommend it to anyone of all ages. You must apply moisturizer before this because it dries very quickly and it looks better when your face is not dry because it is mattifying.MeekzBeautyParadisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05908308801375819357noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6885541573383885219.post-80044128362090243332012-01-03T12:03:00.001-07:002012-01-03T12:05:56.377-07:00Tate's Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies are my new favorite this month!I am obsessed with these cookies I got for Christmas! They are thin, sweet, and crispy! I love the natural ingredients in it and that it is gluten-free. I'm trying to eat more healthy and I think this is one way of doing that (even though it's junk food). LOL! I have to say this is my first time trying anything gluten-free and I don't taste any difference! It is made with rice flour instead which I think is pretty cool!<br />

I use the foaming face wash first (contains Salicylic Acid), then the Toner (contains Salicylic Acid), then lastly the dramatically different moisturizing gel (which I mentioned in my last blog post). Use twice a day, and if any irritation results, then you should reduce it to once a day or every other day. So far, it hasn't left my skin over-dry or peely. My skin isn't as red as I thought it would be and it still feels soft. I would recommend this to anyone who is suffering from acne or wants to keep it under control and prevent new ones from forming.<br />
