I'm quitting my insanity workout

Ok so I tried insanity for 3 days and it was not for me. It was hard and it was hard and it was hard, my body couldn't take it, it took me about 1 hour afterwards to recuperate, I was sore for days and with 3 kids running around, I just don't have that kind of time. I decided to go back to my turbo jam workout.  Sure it won't be as fast, but I'll least be able to continue to do my daily activities without feeling like my body weights a ton.

I'm starting the insanity workout

Ok so after having 3 children, my body didn't bounce back to its skinny self like it happens to some famous people. I have stretch marks and a really ugly looking muffin top and I am really sick of it, my youngest is now 2 years old and I can't use the "I just had a baby" excuse anymore.
I decided to blog my progress because otherwise I won't keep up with the workout and maybe this will give me a push to do my work out everyday. I chose to do insanity because I guess you can get faster results. I am not a person who likes to wait, I want results quick quick quick, like on my 1st workout quick. I know that is unrealistic but for some reason I still expect it.

 So I took some pictures today and I really don't want to post them.... but it's the only way to push myself,


I know I know I know... ( I cropped my face cause I looked really weird) but I am hoping that in 60 days my pictures will look way way better than this, and I really hope that I don't quit this workout because today was my first day and I did the fitness test and that thing kicked my butt, it took me about 1 hour to recover.

SO I will be updating my progress every Tuesday, we will see how it all goes.

twist's homemade hoodie (fresh beat band)

We all love the fresh beats at my house so we recently celebrated my son's and daughter's birthday with a fresh beat band / rockstar theme party. I looked everywhere for a hoodie that would resemble twist's but had no luck. I then decided to make it myself.
It was extremely difficult to find a plain yellow hoodie (which is ridiculous) but I finally came across one at target and even though it's not exactly what I was looking for, I was running out of time so I had to get it.

I went through my give away clothes and found a yellow and a blue shirt that didn't fit my kids no more, I grabbed some lids and cups from the kitchen, a pen, scissors and of course my stitch witchery.
 I traced out the shape of the from pocket on a piece of paper and cut it out of the blue giveaway shirt.
Then using my lids I drew the shape of twist's patch design on the yellow giveaway shirt and started cutting (which was not a fun task).
Then using my stitch witchery I cut out the shape of the circles (also not fun) and applied them to the back of the circles and with a wet cloth and how iron I put it all together.
Once the patch was made I again used my stitch witchery to attach it to the hoodie.



those are not stains, it's just wet.
I was pretty happy with the end result. I was so excited for my son to wear it ...... then the day came and my son refused to wear it :(
I pretty much did all the work for nothing :(
But it's all good, at least I proved to my self that I am more crafty than I thought I was :)
