It has been forever since I have blogged!! I've just been posting on Insta stories instead of typing everything up. So lets see I didn't finish Insanity Max 30 because I wasn't happy with the results I was getting. I was sweating my butt off, literally!!! I lost the butt I had worked hard for 4 months to get. And I also noticed my muscle definition in my legs going away too. And I was in love with the way my legs were looking.
Then I had a major change, as of August 1st I was no longer a Part Time employee. The stress hit hard. The schedule change hit hard! EVERYTHING hit hard!! And then what does my Dr. do? She refuses to give me refills of my blood pressure meds and my anti crazy pills. Um excuse me do you realize what bad timing this is!?!?!?! I also have never really liked who I selected as my PCP so I avoid seeing her at all costs. My Mom recommended I go see her Dr who is at the same clinic as mine. I called to make an apt hoping to get in the next couple days and NOPE first apt was a week out. Lucky I found enough crazy pills to get me thru until I could see her and get refills, but no such luck with my BP meds. Let me take you back to about a year ago, the last time I ran out of meds and my Dr refused to refill them w/o an apt. I was to busy it was the start of the school year we had just moved and it was just not going to happen. Fast forward a few months and my depression was starting to hit hard again. Hubby recommended I just go to the walk in because I needed my meds and that I could work around my schedule. At my apt at the Walk In clinic they took my blood pressure and I kid you not it was 170/100. The Dr. looked at me in shock and asked "Why is your BP so high?!?" To which I explained my Dr refused refills and life is crazy and I haven't had time to get in to see her. He then got a little mad saying well this isn't a medication that a Dr. should be refusing especially when yours is so high. (ok back to the present) Needless to say I was super nervous of what the Dr. was going to say and what my BP would be when I got there. I had been off of my BP meds for a week when my apt arrived. The nurse came and said what meds are you here to refill and I told her, she then asked me again how long I've been off of them I told her a week. She seemed a little confused and said well I guess they could consider your BP high but we'll see what the Dr. says. It was a little high 130/90 not as great as it was last earlier this month when it was like 120/84. But I have allot of stress going on and I have white coat syndrome and always get anxiety about going to the Dr. The Dr. came in and asked me some strange questions about swelling and why else I take my BP meds (because they are just a water pill) and I confirmed to her that I had no other reason I was taking that pill other than my BP. She then says well "I don't see any reason to keep you on them" I told her I had lost some weight and have been working out and exercising and he says "whatever you're doing it is working". I was SO excited, words can not express how excited I was.
I am officially off my BP meds because of the changes I've made in my life! It works people it is amazing!! I am beyond thrilled!
On to the name of this post: "preparing to be obsessed" Autumn Calabrese is the creator of portion fix and the super trainer that made 21 day fix. She has a new program coming out in January called 80 Day Obsession and it is an advanced program. I really wanted to do it but was trying to figure out a way to prepare for it and then BAM Autumn herself announces that she is going to have a Facebook group called "Preparing to be obsessed" We will be starting with 21 Day fix then moving on to her 30 day Chisel and then 21 Day Fix extreme. Followed by some surprises she has for us after that. I am thinking she may have a one week program coming out again or another 21 Day Fix. Because we will have like still 6-8 weeks to go before 80 Day Obsession is going to be released. So this group is 15000 people strong and there is just this feeling about doing this with so many other people that gets me excited. When ALL of beachbody was doing Shaun Week it felt amazing! And it helped keep me going too. So this whole program starts TOMORROW!! It feels nice to know we are starting with something I am already familiar with and enjoy. I just found out that you need a chin up bar for the Chisel work out and frankly I find that a little terrifying. LOL!! I've got to take before pics and measurements and I am excited to see my results. I am going to try really hard to stick to the meal plan because that is where I struggle is my food intake. Can't wait to share the results with all of you!
