My Story

Hi Loves! I created this blog to share my ever growing experience and knowledge about fitness, health, and a multitude of other things life has to offer. I'm super goofy & quirky while at the same time being an intellect & book worm. I love animals, horror flicks, and dark chocolate. I will never judge you, so do not judge me. Let's laugh a little and grow a lot.

HOLY BATMAN!

Right now I am on week 5 of Insanity & it is straight up INSANE. I'll be real with you. The first month of Insanity is tough but it's do-able. 100%. You just need to be dedicated and find motivation, if not in yourself in other places. I honestly find motivation on Instagram. The Fitness IG family is absoultely amazing, supportive and informative.

Insanity Month 2 HOWEVER is a bitch. Plain and simple. Today was day 1 of week 5 and I had the "fit test" as well as "max interval circuit". For one, the fit test is a good 20/25 minutes then I press play for the second workout and it's an hour! I worked my butt off on the fit test so by the time I started the max interval circuit I was seeing double. I pressed pause. Scoffed down a protein bar and drank water before starting. I usually don't eat breakfast before working out because I get nauseous but for the upcoming month I'm going to have to figure something out because I'm going to need hellah energy. It doesn't help that I'm out of my energy and endurance and I'm patiently *NOT SO PATIENTLY* waiting for it to ship to me. :p

Here's what the Insanity Program looks like:



When you order it, the program also comes with a food guide which has REALLY helped me. It gives you a bunch of recipes for every meal along side of 100 calorie and 200 calorie food block ideas so you have meals in between your main meals. It provides a guide that teaches you about nutrition and what your* body needs. I almost exploded with excitement when my Insanity came in the mail and I've been so happy with my results. I feel SO much stronger. I love it. If you ever want to contact me for more information regarding Insanity or any other beachbody product I am an email away :)

Insanity.

Want to know how I KNOW the Insanity workout is the shiznit?! Because it WORKS. Not only is my outside changing but my inside as well. I could never finish 2 miles at a fast speed. Hell. I could barely finish at a slow speed. First run since starting insanity was today and it was fucking fabulous. I didn't stop once and finished off with 50 power squats and a nice long stretch. Going to go for a nice long run at least once a week. It's really good for my stress :) so much more productive than me punching someone in the face over bumping me with their cart or something. I'm so temperamental when I'm stressed. A nice run puts me into a good CALM mode.

Keep calm and run on ✌

Thoughts.

I've been drowning in thoughts lately. Just visited my nana at her rehabilitation center. She has dementia, Parkinson's, arthritis, and mersa. The dementia is tearing her apart. It just made me wonder for a while why we work so hard in life only to be bed ridden and lost I'm a daze. Then I caught myself and pulled myself out of that pessimistic bubble. At least we are working towards and for SOMETHING. People get on me for being into health and fitness. "live a little" they say as they take that 3rd shot at the bar or shove down that brownie after dinner. The thing they don't know is that I AM living. And I plan on enjoying my life every day being the strongest, healthiest person I can be. I am not a dog. I don't have to treat myself with food. And I don't want to drink my sorrows away. Instead I'll push myself extra hard during my workout and say fuck yea instead of fuck this. I won't give up on me because this is the only me I have. My body is MY body. And I'll be damned if I destroy it. It's called healthy choices and dedication. Not deprivation or obsession. Get with it or get lost.

I'm Backkkk

So much has happened since my last post of 2011! 2012 has turned to be quite the obstacle so far but as far as fitness and health is concerned I am on point! Since January I have taken on a Pescatarian lifestyle. I say this because any post about food will not include chicken or any other meat but WILL include fish, eggs, fruits, veggies, nuts, whole grains and dairy. As far as dairy goes, I do not drink milk if I can avoid it. I've read up on it and I truly believe that we are not supposed to drink other animals milk. If you want a fun and interesting read check out Skinny Bitch.  Because of this, you will also see me only using almond milk, soy milk, rice milk etc. The only dairy I consume is cheese and greek yogurt. Chobani <3 LOVE.

As far as workouts go I am using both Insanity and Brazilian Butt Lift by Beachbody. I am obsessed with both of these workouts, 1. Because they are at home workouts which means no gym fees and 2. I get to workout looking a hot mess and I don't careeee. :p 3. They are intense. Insanity is like trying out for the olympics and although Brazilian Butt Lift seems like it's ballet compared to Insanity, you're glutimus maximus will feel f****** fabulous after! I am a fitness coach so if you ever want to try out these workouts or need help with nutrition don't hesistate to send me an email!

I'm about to get my grub on but just wanted to share my instagram with you all :) you can find me by searching my username "deborahbrittany". I am constantly posting pictures so feel free to follow me!

Talk to you all soon.
Be strong. Stay Motivated. Keep Moving.
