Yeah Baby!
Today I hit Cardio P& R hard today. Of course it was a killer- but I pushed through it as best as I could.
Now I made a personal goal that I will try my absolute best to increase the number of calories burned every time I do a work out.
This week I was unsuccessful, but I tried pretty hard. Last week I burned 682, this week I burned 668. I guess I got to work harder next time.
How is your workouts going? Keep up the great work.

Hey Guys,
I just wanted to update you guys on my progress. I jumped on the scale this morning and I'm happy to say that I lost 4lbs.
I'm went from 238 to 234 in 6 days.
I know this sounds wack, but if I can do it- you sure can.
Let's keep it going folks.

Day 6- Plyometrics Cardio Circuit (668)
Good Night/Morning Folks,
I almost didn't make it but.......... I completed day 6 at 12 midnight on Sunday morning. I had an extra busy day today and I kept pushing my workout down my to do list. Well needless to say, by the time I finished all my ripping and running, I was exhausted, but there was something in me that was determined to stick to the given schedule. My husband on the other hand... not so much. He was ready to make today his rest day and work out tomorrow (Sunday). Now I'm not going to lie, it was tempting, I even sat down and watched some TV, but for some reason my mind kept going back to Shaun T. So I had enough of him taunting my mind and decided to get up and work out. I turned to Troy & said "Babes, I'm going to push play right now- you don't have to do it with me, but I sure would like the company." Of course he moaned and groaned b/c he was afraid that he was going to throw up his dinner that he ate 6 hours before. (We had dinner at 6PM & pushed play at midnight). Even though I was also afraid of throwing up- I sucked up my fears and went to my gym (aka) the garage. By time the DVD was loaded- the hubby was right next to me ready to get started. :-) Yay!
So of course, Plyo was difficult. I have to admit- the ABSOLUTE hardest part of this work out is the level 1 drills leading into the ski abs & finally the in & outs. Oh goodness. I'm telling you- the number one reason I have to stop is b/c my wrists feel like they may break under the pressure of my weight. The 2nd reason I would stop is b/c my damn legs feel like noodles. LOL. Now let me say, the last time I did Insanity, I could do about 15-18 regular push ups. NOW!!! I can barely do 4 at a time (that's if you want to call what I do a push up) so that's an area I'm going to focusing on. A personal goal.
Make a personal goal for yourself when you're working out. Regardless of your fitness level. Nothing beats the feeling of surpassing your goals.
Ok, so that's it for today folks. Oh yeah.. I plan on doing weekly weigh ins. So I'll post my results on Sunday/Monday.
Until Next Time.... Coach BB

Day 5- Pure Cardio (682)
OH MY GOSH!!!
Day 5 is in the books and I'm super happy!!! Me & the hubby got up and went right to work. Pure Cardio was so damn hard today. HARD!!!!!
My legs... hurt
My shoulders....hurt
Abs... ok
When I completed Pure Cardio I swear my entire body was wiggling like jello. Whew! But I must say it feels really good. I'm slowly building up my stamina for these workouts. One more day before completing week 1.
Woo Hoo!!!!! Gotta stay inside b/c here in NJ were expecting MORE snow tomorrow. SMH. Oh well, Insanity will keep me busy.

Day 4- Cardio Recovery + Plyometrics (433)
Nighty Night Guys.
I'm super late w/ my post today but I have to let you all know that I pushed play today... Hooray!!!!
I did my recovery workout and good God Almighty... I completely forgot how tough these workouts are.
Slow squats, slow lunges, pulsing squats/lunges and a bunch of plank work. Whew!!!!! My muscles were trembling and crying out for help. Of course, I loved it.
My sister felt like it was too slow for her, so she decided that she wanted to do some Plyometrics. So of course I stayed as motivation- for both her and for me. We worked out to the Plyo and suffered severely. Haha.
I have it noted that I burned 433 calories, but I stopped my calorie counter when I finished Cardio Recovery... I'm certian I burned at least another 450-550 calories doing Plyo... but who's counting???
I had a good time today working out and finished my night off w/ some chocolate shakeology. Yummmm.
Ok folks- Day 4 in the books. And I'm ready for day 5. Keep pushing play!!!

Day 3- Cardio Power & Resistance (682)
Day 3 in the books.
I have to admit... I barely had the energy (or the will) to the do the workout today. REAL TALK. The mistake I made was that I didn't work out in the morning. So tonight at 7:30PM I decided push play. It was hard and I felt sluggish, but I have to admit- it felt good once the blood started pumping. Today, I got my sister to join me and my hubby on the workout. It was fun and the time went by a lot faster. My food today was good, for breakfast I had oatmeal, lunch I had a chicken breast sandwich & dinner I had a chicken salad sandwich (made w/ mustard). I drank tons of water and 1 cup of milk.
After the workout I was hungry... I knew Shakeology wouldn't cut it for me tonight so I had a garden salad. It was delicious.
Ok, tomorrow is a recovery day. I'm looking forward to it. :-)

Day 2- Plyo (694)
Dear Shaun T,
I've missed you so much. You've been gone for so long. Or maybe it was me who left, but I want you back. Since you've returned yesterday, you've shown me all the good loving I've been missing. I'm so sorry I've abandoned you. I'll never do it again. I need you. My body needs you. And I'm so happy you're back in my life.
Love,
Browne Bombshell.
So today Insanity kicked my ass. I'm not going to lie. I huffed and puffed all the way through this workout. I took a ton of breaks. My husband was exhausted. He just kept saying "this man (shaun t) is a beast" Right now he's shuffling aroung the house like an old lady. LMAO. I on the other hand- I'm doing better. I'm not too soar. I'm ready for day 3. Idk what i'm going to eat though.... I need some help in that area. I guess I'll be drinking Shakeology.
Until next time folks.

FOUR POUNDS GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, you read right!!!!!! I lost 4LBS. :-) I successfully completed my 3-Day Shakeology Cleanse and lost 4.2LBS.
I started at 214 and today I weighted in at 209.8
So let me get you up to date on how I did this. Friday was day 2 on my shakeology cleanse, I did great. I followed the diet to the letter. I also pushed play. I did Insanity Cardio Power & Resistance. Both my fiance an I struggled through the workout. I didn't over exert myself. I paced myself with everything.
Yesterday, Saturday, I did pretty awesome. It was my last day on the cleanse. I thought I was going to fail for sure b/c its the weekend. However, I shocked myself and family as I stood stong and stuck to the .plan. lol. Even while attending a caribbean bbq. Lord knows that was hard. I didn't workout on Saturday because for the 1st time I was feeling a little tired and I knew that I wouldn't be able to workout properly.
Tonight I have Pure Cardio. Wish me luck!!!
I made it through. So if I can do it- You sure can do it. I wasn't hungry at all during this cleanse (until I went to the BBQ-lol)
The shakes were OK- however, I'm sure I would like it 100% better with milk.

Day 8- Pure Cardio- Again
Hey Guys!
Today was my day 8. I was planning on making it my rest day- but I changed my mind. Instead, I decided to do Pure Cardio. I have no clue how many calories I burned today b/c I couldn't find my damn watch. SMH. Anyway, I wanted to update you all on todays progress.
I decided to start Shakeology Cleanse today. I figured- hey WHY NOT????!!!!????
So I started my day with a nice hot cup of green tea. I'm not really a fan of green tea, but if I have to, I will drink it. This was immediately followed with a greenberry shakeology. I had my greenberry blended with 16oz of water and crushed ice. I had to but more water b/c it would taste chalky with less water. About 1.5 hours later I ate a peach. 2 hours after that I had my lunch.... Chocolate Shakeology. Followed by my snack.....Greenberry Shakeology. Finally I had my garden salad w/ 4oz of grilled spicy fish. YUM!
To be completely honest with you. I didn't feel hungry at all today. I felt pretty good. I even got some Insanity done.
Now usually, I'm feeling sluggish when I get home and all I want to do is grab some dinner and relax w/ my future hubby. Today was a different story. I came home, changed my clothes and pushed play. Now I decided to do Pure Cardio again b/c It's not too much repetition. I knew that I could modify the moves so that I wouldn't have to exhaust myself. Now it is highly recommended to avoid doing high intensity workouts while on a Shakeology cleanse- but I was feeling good- so I pushed play.
Overall- Day 8 of Insanity & Day 1 of Shakeology was pretty good.
How was your day? Chat with you guys tomorrow.

Day 7- Week 1 Complete + SHAKEOLOGY
Hey Everyone!
Day 7 is in the bag. Week 1 of Insanity is COMPLETE !!!!!
It's still taking me some time to get adjusted, but someone told me that it takes 30 days to create a habit and 90 days to make it a lifestyle. I still got a ways to go.
In other news..... I got my SHAKEOLOGY. Yup! I purchased the pack w/ both chocolate and greenberry. So I decided to jump right in and start my 3-Day Shakeology Cleanse.
On today's menu....
Breakfast
1. Green Tea
2. Greenberry Shakeology w/ Ice & 20 oz of water
Snack
1. Peach
Lunch
1. Chocolate Shakeology
2. Green Tea
Snack 2
Kiwi
Dinner
1. Large Garden Salad w/ Grilled Fish.
Don't forget... the 2 Liters of Water.
For those of you who don't know- the shakeology cleanse is 3 days in which you consume 1200 calories per day. It's difficult b/c you are only consuming 3 shakes a day & salad. When you're body is accustomed to eating the not so healthy foods.
So here's the basics:
3 Shakeology Shakes per day
2 Cups of Green Tea
1-2 pieces of fruit per day. Eat fruit between breakfast, lunch & dinner (optional)
1 Salad for dinner (can include fish or poultry)
No dairy (no soy, rice or almond milk)
Drink 2-4 liters of water per day
Low fat dressing (2 TBS only)
It is strongly advised that you don't participate in the shakeology cleanse while doing Insanity or P90X. Light- moderate exercise is acceptable.
Side Note: I plan on continuing my Insanity, but I'll be doing everything on a lower impact- moderate pace
So if you are getting started or even if you're in a recovery week or maybe you hit a plateau- try the Shakeology cleanse.

Day 5 & 6 Done!
Hey Guys,
Sorry for the 3 day delay. I just wanted to let you know that I have been pushing play and keeping focused on my fitness journey.
Day 5 (Monday)
Cardio Recovery
Calories Burned: 525
I hit Cardio Recovery. It was of course "easier" than the previous 2 workouts- but please believe me when I say I was sweating my fat off. LOL.
Day 6 (Tuesday)
Pure Cardio
Calories Burned: 738
OMG! I absolutely love this workout. I can't find the words that I want to say. It's absolutely CRAZY.
Now keep in mind that I have a lot of things going on and I'm extemely busy & tired. But the one thing that keeps me going is my motivation. I don't care how long or hard the task is going to be- I will do it. My mind is made up and I'll be damned to look back 60 days from now saying- "awww man- I shoulda coulda and woulda". Instead I want to look back on this 63 day journey and say- "I DID IT AND I'M SO FREAKIN' HAPPY"
I'm setting mini goals for myself. I'm trying to build up my stamina in Insanity so I can complete the warm ups without stopping. Then I want to build myself up to be able to complete 1 full round w/o stopping and slowly building on that.
FYI- for those of you who don't know- in the Insanity workouts- each set of workouts have 3 rounds (moderate, fast & hyper speed).
How are your workouts going? What's new and improved on your end? Do you have any mini goals set? If not- set your mini goals- post them in your gym/mirror/fridge and keep reminding yourself that YOU CAN DO IT.

Day 4- Nothing, Zip, Zilch, Zero!!!
Sunday, August 8, 2010
0 Calories Burned
Hey Guys,
Today I didn't push play. No excuses- just facts. I went to my bed last night with every intention of waking up this morning to push play to Insanity at 8 AM, immediately followed by a shower and a nice church service. Oh, but that did not happen. Instead I woke up at 7 and was informed that I needed to go pick up some friends who were coming over to help lay concrete in my backyard. *Sigh*
Now this was very necessary because we're planning a big event that's supposed to take place in the next couple of weeks. So instead of starting my day with an hour of Insanity, I ended up taking a 40 minute drive to get some friends. Just to make this fast, I left my house at 8AM and returned at 5PM. We had a bunch of errands to run before the work could even start. Since I got home, I ran back to home depot two times. I've been on my feet cooking and cleaning for the bunch of people who are here and right before I sat down to post this - I ate some food- YES! It was clean- grilled chicken w/ garden salad (fyi- this was all I ate for the day).
So, considering all the lifting, packing and unpacking I did today, I think I got a decent workout in. But not an Insane one. Well- these things happen. Don't feel discouraged if you miss a day due to circumstances out of your control. Just press the next day and you'll be fine.
How did you do today? An obstacles in your way preventing you from pressing play? Or did you succeed and push play anyway? Fill me in. Let me know how you're doing.
Oh yeah, don't forget to enjoy what's left of summer. Before we know it- we'll be raking leaves and shoveling snow :( I'm not looking forward to that at all. LOL.
Have a great night guys.... Come back and check me out on my journey to size 6.

I post this a day late..... Sorry! I pressed play today (saturday). Yyyyyaaaaaayyyyyyy!!!!!!!!! Keep in mind that I was dog tired. I had very little sleep and I had tons of things to do for this weekend. I was tired before the day officially began. Now with that said, I got up around 8 AM and pushed play to some good ole Shaun T. I thought Troy would have joined me today, however, he decided to play dead in bed. So I did my workout all by my lonesome. It was rather refreshing I must say. It brought me back to my memories of when I first started Insanity.
Power Cardio & Resistance is no joke. LOL. I completely forgot how difficult these workouts are. the V- push ups, the tricep dips, in and outs and lets not forget the last move- 8 squats & 8 pushups. Woooooo Hooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You really have to dig deep when you're doing that last set. Your body is saying "No, I can't! I'm tired! I'm done!" But your heart & mind is saying " Keep going! You can do it! You got this! Shaun T aint got nothing on you!" I've quickly fell back in love with Insanity. It's absolutely a great workout.
I ate clean today. No bad choices and I had some really great meals. How did you guys do today? Did you push play? Eat Clean? Start a new routine? Well whatever you did- I'm here to support and encourage you.
Let's get busy!

Day 2- Plyo CC
Good Night Ladies, Gents & Guests,
Today was day 2. I pushed play to some Insanity Plyo Cardio Circuit and got my ass handed to me by Shaun T. LOL. I burned 600+ calories today.
To be completely honest with you guys- I forgot how crazy these workouts are. I knew that they were hard and mad you sweat- but I completely forgot HOW HARD YOU WORK AND HOW DEEP YOU DIG. Whoa baby!!!!
Today was ultra special, fun and entertaining for me because for the 1st time, my Troy, my fiance, did the workouts with me. LOL. It was pure comedy. Don't get me wrong, he did really well. He stayed in it for as long as he could- but he still has a little way to go. We were so busy huffing and puffing, that we ran out of water. LOL. Over all the workout was extremely enjoyable. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, the muscle and skin pain and aches were immediate. I went for a quick drive and when it was time for me to get out of the car, I felt like an 80 year old woman. I was moaning and growning and holding my knees. SMH. It's clear that I have some work to do.
I took out Troy's day 1 photos and I'll be posting them this weekend (I hope). I will post my before pics as well. Hey why not????
Well guys, that's my update for today. I hope you all enjoyed your day and are pushing play. Stick with me on my journey to size 6.
Peace

Ok- 2 days later and I'm finally focused.
I had all intentions of pushing play on Wednesday as I originally stated, however I came home to a house full of friends and there was no way on earth I could work out in front of them. LOL. So I had to push it back into today. Long story short, I went to bed at 3 AM this morning.
Now today, I was determined to push play. Even though I was "dog tired", I went to work, came home and took a nap. LOL. Popped out of bed 2 hours later and guess what....... I PUSHED PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm BBBBAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKKK!!!!!!!
Hey Everyone!!!!!!!!!!
After a long hiatus of absolute bliss, I am officially back on track and ready to take Insanity by storm.....AGAIN!!!!!!!
This time, things will be a little different. If you haven't noticed I changed the title of my blog from "Insanity!!! Browne Bomshell to Bikini Beauty" to "COACH Browne Bombshell's Journey to Size 6".
That's right!! I'm officially a beachbody coach. Now I've been toying and thinking about this for a long, long time. Constantly going back and forth with myself. I've talked to a bunch of different coaches and I kept getting the same answer...... JUST DO IT.
Well, if there was one thing my teachers always said about me, is that I pay attention and I listen well... so here I am following instructions and I'm DOING IT!!! I'm a BEACHBODY COACH. Now many people, myself included, felt that you need to be a size 5 to be a coach. Well Hell!!! I'm hear to tell you that I'm not a size 5 (add 11 and you'll have my size). I'm hear to tell you that I'm a coach b/c I want to help and encourage you all- just like you've encouraged me when I slipped, fell and completely abandoned my fitness. So I'm here to say that I'm back and ready to take this fitness to the next level.
This time around- it's a little different because I am traveling on the road to fitness with my future husband. Let the madness begin!!!!!!!!
So come work out with me, check me out daily- b/c I will keep you posted. Wednesday, August 4 will be............ Fit Test #1 with Insanity. Lets see how well we do.
Pushing Play..... tomorrow.
Peace!

What Day Is It?
What day is it?
OMG- I've been rippin' and running since my fiancées arrival that I'm completely off my game. I haven't pushed play since last Friday. I'm so upset. It's not that I don't want to work out b/c I do miss Shaun T. But I've been waking up really early and going to bed really late and I haven't had the energy to work out with Shaun T.
I will keep you guys updated on what is going on. I will be starting my Max Month over again. I'm determined to finish this progam.
I hope everyone is doing well. Peace.

Day 39 Rest Day & 40 Max Recovery
Hey Guys,
So I've had a lot going on in my little world. So many things have recently changed.
For this entire week I have been running on very little sleep- still I manage to wake up and push play every day. But on Thursday, June 24th, I couldn't wake up if my life depended on it. I got exactly 4 hours of sleep and there was just no way I would be able to function and focus on the workouts. So Day 39 was my rest day.
On a personal note, Day 39 is the day I've been waiting for.. for a very long time. The love of my life arrived at Newark Airport at 9 PM and he's here to stay... YAY!! I'm so very happy to have him here and share the rest of my life with him. That's another reason why I didn't work out on day 39... I needed to reserve my energy for the "horizontal activities". LMAO.
So I woke up this morning, Day 40 feeling fully rested and energized. I got up and pushed play- even though all I wanted to do is curl up in bed w/ my baby, I knew that I had to get focused. So I hopped out of bed and into my workout gear and pushed play on my Max Recovery workout. MR was no joke. Just like Cardio Recovery, it had me working really hard. You have to focus on your form and try to do as much as you can. I really enjoyed this workout. My fiancée even came in and encouraged me a little bit. LOL.
So I'm back on track- and I'll be completing Max Month- week 1 on Sunday. Tomorrow I have Max IC. I'm ready ready ready.
