I'm very proud to say that I made it passed the first month of insanity. I've never gotten that far and am very proud of myself. Today was day 1 of month 2 and it makes month 1 look like it's for babies! It's twice as long and a million times harder! I know I can do this I just need to go at my own pace. I pushed myself too hard in the beginning and didn't finish the last circuit but that's okay. Now I know for tomorrows workout.
So far I've lost 7 lbs. I haven't really measured but I know I've lost inches, I can definitely feel the difference in my clothes. I would like to complete the program twice and then join the new gym that's about to open just up the street from my house. I would have to walk with my daughter there and in the summer it gets to about 120 F so I'm hoping by then the nights will start to cool down and I can go after my husband gets home. That's another thing, it stays hot 24/7! Back at home it got hot during the day but at night it was nice and cool so it wasn't that bad. Not here, its 1 am and still over 100.
I also started going to church every Saturday with my daughter and I'm so happy about that. And now we are going to start to go in the afternoons too with my hubby. Life is amazing and I love my family. I pray that immigration reform happens and includes us, but if not that's okay. There are people in this world who are fighting for their lives, and far worse circumstances then us. I know that God never makes mistakes and everything will happen as it should. I'm still advocating and doing everything I can but ultimately it's all in Gods hands. Well, I'm still super tired from todays workout so I'm just gonna sit around and re coup. Maybe even take a nap with my little monster. :)

Amazing weekend
This weekend was just amazing. It was full of laughter and hugs and smiles and just love! Saturday morning I got up with Sofia and we got ready to go to church. We usually only got when my husband has Saturdays off because we only have one car but we found a church much closer where I can take a taxi and it will be affordable. Once we were ready I was about to call the taxi and my phone was acting weird, I couldn't make a call. But I was determined to go so we walked to the entrance of our privada and asked the security guard to call me a taxi. They usually arrive in under 5 minutes but this guy took forever and we were a bit late. But it didn't matter. We made it and it was a beautiful service. Sofia had so much fun in her class and behaved very well except for one bratty moment.
Church ends at 12 noon and that is the same time my husband gets off work. He usually crosses back in about 20 minutes so we waited for him outside. He got off work late and didn't pick us up until almost one but a few sisters waited with me so I was okay. We then went to check out the new plaza they built right next to our privada. It is so nice and they have a gym people, a gym! I can walk to it and get some food, work out, or just shop a little! This is huge for me because now even though I don't have a car, I can get out with Sofia and within walking distance. It's so new a lot of the stores aren't open yet because they are still under construction, even the gym. We took a tour of the gym and they showed us the lay out and invited us back next week to see the progress. The gym will be state of the art and have a wonderful daycare! Not just a daycare where they sit the kids down and tell them don't move, but they have activities for them, teach them about health and it will give Sofia another chance to interact with kids other than at church.
After that we got some delicious tacos and just chilled at home but the feeling was different. Something about going to church just puts my whole family in such a good mood. On Sunday we got up early, did some grocery shopping, had yummy pancakes for breakfast and had a water balloon fight. It was so much fun!
I know we didn't do anything fancy, or spend a lot of money but this weekend just gave me a new look on things. We may not have much but together we have it all. And we don't have to spend a lot of money to have fun and be happy. I just feel almost rejuvenated.
On another note today I start week 4 of insanity! I have been doing very well with the workouts but eating not so much. Cravings are my worst enemy but I have been making progress, slowly, but still progress. I am just so thankful that everything is coming together and feels like home. Ill be going to church regularly with my daughter, will join the gym once it opens and just those two things alone will allow me to interact with other people again and get out of the house. I'm excited for what's to come. Life is good, very very good. And is amazing! :)
