Time For Something New

So since starting Insanity 3 weeks ago, I have only lost 2 pounds... This just doesn't seem right.... I mean I'm burning WAY more calories and sweating WAY more than with P90X so it's difficult for me to comprehend... Plus, I've been pretty much on track with my nutrition with a few exceptions... So why aren't the pounds falling off like before???? I'm trying not to beat myself up because I have already lost 15 pounds, but I know my body and I have more to lose! So... With that in mind, I set out to do some serious research on this issue... Thank the good Lord for Beachbody's message boards because it seems that I am not the only person struggling with this issue.... The solution?!? I need to take in more calories! Hmmm.... So they are suggesting that I eat more to lose weight? Yep... I typically only take in about 1000-1200 calories a day.... The human body burns around 500 calories just on it's own (I read this somewhere so I hope it's accurate), and then I burn at least 500 more during my Insanity workouts... Therefore, my body is holding onto everything it can... I don't want it to get to the point where I'm burning muscle either! Eeeeek! I've worked hard for these things... So I am upping my caloric intake to what the program suggests starting today.... I will cross my fingers and hope that this helps me achieve the results pound wise that I really  want... Everything says not to look to the scale to judge your results, and I totally agree... But for my own personal happiness I know there is a goal weight wise I must get back to... Here goes nothing!! :)

Well I must say that I was pleasantly surprised with the fit test results yesterday! I love that the program asks you to complete it every two weeks so you can track your progress. This is a HUGE motivator. Sometimes we don't realize how far we have come until we are pushed to our limits in a test. Today's agenda includes some Plyometric Cardio Circuit... Something I'm familiar with! Hooray! Tomorrow, on the other hand, includes Cardio Abs along side the Pure Cardio Workout... Since I was a dirty slacker on Saturday I have no idea what to expect, but I'm excited for something unknown... Day 16!!! Diggin Deeper!!!

Sometimes You Just Can't Dig Any Deeper! LOL

Fit Test Again?!?!

Well this weekend was a rough one for me as far as sticking to my diet and exercising goes... I hosted a Stock the Bar Shower for my best friend and I must say there was plenty of drinking and eating to last me a WHILE! I think I'm still paying for it, and it's Monday- I might have fallen off the band wagon for a couple of days, but I am back this week to start fresh! I can't think of a better way to do that then to do my second Insanity fit test.... Atleast this time I know what to expect, and I know it's gonna hurt! LOL... Bring on week 3!!!!



INSANITY: THE ASYLUM

It has finally been released! I haven't even finished week two of Insanity, and I already know my game plan for when it's over... I'm gonig to be one heck of an athlete with no sport to play! LOL.... Bring on  INSANITY: THE ASYLUM!!!!

Want To Try INSANITY: THE ASYLUM??

Day 10 of Insanity

Dear Shaun T,

When you finish the warm-up for a rouitne and then proceed to tell me that you are nervous about the workout we're about to do, it scares me! HA!

Pure Cardio is some serious business. I busted my ass like never before I believe... There are still some moves that I have no mastered, but I feel that with more practice it can be done! Today I have the Plyometric Cardio Circuit followed by some good ole Cardio Recovery on Thursday.... Woot Woot bring on the recovery!! I am starting to like this program more and more, but I still do miss P90X... I'm sure that when I start my p90x/insanity hybrid in 50 days that I will find p90x to be a breeze after insanity! BRING IT!!

Insanity is not sexist! - Shaun T

I guess I'll go along with that Shaun T since you don't make me do any pullups! Haha! Sorry Tony. On today's agenda is some good ole Pure Cardio... WHEW... I'm beginning to sweat just thinking about it... These workouts are no joke, but as I go into week 2 I can already feel myself getting stronger.. I also cannot wait to get home each day to dig deeper! It's a wonderful life when you get to the place where exercise is something you look forward to... I'm ready Shaun T!!!

How does she jump so high?!?!?!?1

Let's Goooooooo!!

Today was a very stressful one at work, and all I could think about was getting home to do Insanity... Why you ask? Because I knew that I was going to sweat all that stress away with the help of Shaun T... Boy oh boy did it work! I am so thankful to be a part of such a wonderful program that gives me the push I need to dig deeper! Terrific Workout!!
