Hello, There

Hey, oh! Hi, there. Well, hello. 
Come here often?
No? No. You probably don't because I haven't posted in like a year or something. 
Damnit, Hearne. Get your head in the GD game. 

Anyway. It's been a long time... Shouldn'ta left you.

wtf was happening in the 90's?
Aaah! I'm already off topic. 
What I'm trying to say is that I'm back to fill the void that I left when I quit writing and fell off the face of the world. 
So, what's new?
Umm.. well; 
  • I part my hair down the middle now and grew out my bangs. So, that's pretty big news. 
  • Oh! Kim and Kanye got married and Jay Z and Beyonce did NOT attend. So, that's a pretty huge scandal that is totally relevant to my life and this blog. 
  • I switched jobs. So, I very rarely now contemplate faking my death, letting my parents collect the life insurance and living out the rest of my life in a gypsy caravan. So, yeah. 

But besides that everything's still the same. Living in love with my  boyfriend and and my city and my spazzy ass dog who hides in the closet from the dishwasher. 

Oh! I know! 
 So, about three months ago I took my tax refund and made a pretty big commitment. I met, who I like to call, "the other man in my life" 

(no one ever laughs at that, but I'm going to keep saying it)

I wish I could say this was the cheesiest Shaun T picture I could find, but they all kind of look like that
wow
Yup! I train Insane (I'm sorry)
I am halfway through my second round of the Insanity program and Y'ALL IT IS ADDICTING*. 
Now, I wouldn't say that my experience has been like those on the infomercials or on the website, but I have some small things I've noticed. A muscle I didn't use to have here, a pop of muscle there, and a lot more strength and endurance with every other work out I might take on. 
*okay, when I say it's addicting, I mean if you like having your ass handed to you by a work out. I am- for all intensive purposes***- dead by the end of the workout
***I know, guys

And that's okay. It's okay that I've had a different experience than other people. Dude, seriously. Don't compare yourself to other people. Bodies are different. We work... differently! And that's okay! One of the worst things you can do for your mental state while training is constantly comparing yourself to other people. 
I think. That's what I think. Then again I am not a psychiatrist nor a naturally competitive person (except with ping pong for whatever reason), so WTF do I know? That's just what I believe. 

ANYWAY- the Insanity pack says you should track your progress with pictures and measurements and never the scale, but I just really wasn't at a place where I felt much like tracking. Just doing. Which- again- is fine! Until one day....

Please excuse the lack of... all around cuteness. This was super early in the morning and I just- AT THAT MOMENT- decided i was ready to start tracking picture progress
Picture
so I added a filter to this one called "dramatic" which makes the muscles pop more. I felt like I needed to add that disclaimer, but damn if it isn't dramatic
I was in a fitting room where you have the mirrors in front of me and behind me. So I could see a full view of my back. On a whim I flexed my back muscles and OHMYGOD WHERE DID THOSE BACK MUSCLES COME FROM?! 
I am so proud of myself! I've always been insecure about my back (I realize that sounds weird) And then I decided I did want to start tracking some. So, here are some pictures from last week. I'll post again at the end of month 2 (which I started yesterday)

So, I became a BeachBody Coach. As of like... 48 hours ago. I'm very new. But here are the facts: Beachbody products are legit y'all. This isn't some get skinny quick shit. P90X, Insanity, The Les Mills programs. These don't mess around. And I get my shit at a discount. I am so super stoked about this endeavor in my life. 
So, here's just a little bit of shameless self promotions and then I'm gonna give you a slide show of some stuff you missed while I wasn't blogging: 

Wanna buy some BeachBody Stuff?  
OMG Y'ALL THIS BLOG HAS A FACEBOOK NOW GO LIKE IT IMMEDIATELY (My goal was to have 50 likes by Friday. I've already got 43. 7 of you just go click "like" okayplease?)
