YESTERDAY:
We visited my dear friend who had her son a week ago. The baby was as cute can be and my daughter was so into him.  We spent sometime visiting and had lunch then went to the indoor play area so I can work a bit before picking up my son and doing gym lesson than cooking for hours. The Insanity nutrition diet requires so much prep time. I try to get most of the meals ready for both my self and my husband and my son the night before. The good thing is I love the meals. They are simple individually it is just 5 of them which adds up to be a lot. So healthy though which makes me happy.

TODAY's OUTFIT

 Today I wore the same dress as a skirt and wore the cowl neck top in the matching to create this stunning maxi dress. Got lots of compliments today...

For that brief 10 minutes it was cold in the morning I added this soft cardigan but than it was super warm today....

TODAY:
Went to pre-school where after class my daughter with her girlfriends put together a cute little show for us. Then went to my dr's appointment and then to my son's school which had a huge fiesta.
My in-laws and parents were there to celebrate with us and the kids....

Talk pretty to me

Yesterday's bright combo was inspired by In Style's April 2013 issue:

 Since the inspiration didn't show what you wear underneath I picked this super fun top I got from LOFT last year. The colors totally pick up the red purse and the yellow jeans and the graphic is subtle enough to not clash with the animal print pea coat....

The bold cuff:

The fun earrings:

Top. cuff - Ann Taylor LOFT

Coat, Jeans, Shoes - Forever 21

Purse - Coach

Earrings - Asos

YESTERDAY:
Insanity is kicking our butt. They definitely live up to their name as the exercises we have done so far are quite insane indeed. The good thing is they are short (40 minutes or so compared to 1.5 hour P90X tapes). You sweat like crazy. My face remains red hours after and I feel every jiggle in my body it seems. Thank goodness we are doing the nutrition plan that goes with it cause I don't know how you can do these without the proper food nourishment. It involves eating a lot of small meals that are perfectly balanced with protein, veggies and fruit and good carbs. I am very hopeful. We shall see...

Starting Insanity

 Today's outfit was inspired by Lucky's April 2013 issue. So, there you go using a very recent inspiration for once...

 I am always looking for fun combo's for this polka dot blazer and this one paired it with the vintage eyelet skirt my mom gave me years ago.... Added the denim shirt, hoop earrings and gold shoes like the photo but also added a pearlized necklace and a thicker belt....

TODAY:

It was an uneventful but full day. School, grocery stores, home, kindergarten pick-up, hip hop class, daughter hair trim, home, dinner.

After school we hit the grocery store again. I feel I will be going there a lot this week. Today is the start of 'Insanity' program for us now that we are done with P90X. I was still missing a few things after the big grocery shopping over the weekend. Mainly the sashimi and sushi that was on the diet which has to be bought fresh. The meals are extremely healthy. 

Breakfast was power oatmeal mixed with protein powder, blueberries and walnuts. 

2nd meal (morning snack which I made yesterday) was an omelette made with 1 egg and 3 egg whites and mushrooms and onions and feta cheese. Coupled with a bowl of mellon and a slice of wheat toast. Lunch was grilled chicken salad that also had pecans and apples in it. 

Afternoon meal was 6 sashimi pieces with half a cup of brown rice and mixed greens. 

Dinner was a breaded baked cod with mixed vegetables. 

I also added an after workout snack of half a wheat English muffin with part skim slice of cheese. Drinking lots of water and this tea drink I got the recipe from my sister. 

Tonight's workout was just a fit test so excited to really start tomorrow.
