I can has beach body?

I feel like it has been FOREVER since I've posted anything, but that's because I've been a busy lady! Recently over the past month I tried the 21 Day Fix program by Beach Body because I'm trying to reinvent myself (basically I want Black Widow's body and you gotta start somewhere!). I thought it might be fun to share my thoughts and triumphs with you!

The thing I enjoyed the most about this program is that it has different workouts for each day of the week so I was never bored (although I dreaded Wednesday because it was lower body day and owww). Also the workouts are only 30 minutes long and given that I get up at 510 to complete them before work I really appreciate this. The food program was also very simple! It comes with little containers to help you measure and track what you eat according to your weight, etc.

I definitely killed the workouts by going into #beastmode (yes I'm being sarcastic with my hashtagging). But really, I only missed one workout in the entire 21 days and that is because I was at a concert dancing for four hours the night before and my body was done with me. I wish I could say I was a champion at my eating plan, but I so was not. I will just say 2 yellows (carbs) is not enough for this girl! For the first week I followed the eating plan perfectly and lost 6 pounds (ahmazing) and over the 21 days I only lost 7 pounds so if I'd honestly stuck to the eating plan...magic could have happened. However! I lost 13 inches all around (5in from my waist boooyahhh) so I'm not at all disappointed. At one point I told some friends that the muscles in my back felt like this:
Thankfully I did not go full Bane, but I am noticing the nice presence of muscles I didn't know existed. I am now into my first week of Insanity so maybe I'll have another crazy update in 60 days, and maybe I will look like Bane (hopefully not though..i'm petite and supposed to be curvy..) I can tell you that I really hope I catch up to Insanity soon because coming home after work every day and going straight to bed really kills one's social life. Here is a funny post that is too true not to share:
