Week 1.

Week 1 of Insanity is over with and I started week 2 today. I still absolutely love this program and it's one of the only ones I have stuck to it. Normally, I can go a week at the most and get tired of it. But, Insanity is different.

I haven't lost any weight, but I think it's because I'm still eating sweets like crazy, haha. Ice cream and chocolate is my weakness and I've had a lot of it for the past 3-4 days! But, I have maintained my weight and feel like I have lost a few inches. It's easier to put on my jeans and my shirts are a little looser than normal. I think once I get into the groove of eating healthier and not having a heaping bowl of ice cream almost every day, things will start going the way I have been hoping they would. :)

Days 1-2.

Yesterday was my first day of Insanity. It wasn't so bad as far as "working out," but this morning I really felt the soreness just from the fit test.

Day 2 was the plyometric cardio. I watched it right after I did the fit test just to see what I was going to do the next day and I was very intimidated. Well, this morning, I honestly didn't think I was going to make it through the entire work out time. It was tough, but exactly the type of work out I've been looking for. I defintely struggled to make it through the work out, but tried to push through it even if I needed to rest for just a little bit.

So far, I'm pretty sore in my calves, quads, hamstrings, arms, back, and even in my ribs. It's not a soreness where I can't even move (like after it was for 3 days after running my half marathon, haha). It's the type of soreness you want because you KNOW the program is working. I'm really enjoying it so far and think I'll see the results I want in about 60 days!

I think this dvd work out program is better than P90X ever thought about being. The best part about it is that you don't have to go out and buy the equipment. Insanity uses yourself and your body weight. And, it is very challenging. If any of you haven't looked into it and you're looking to get into shape, I encourage you to try Insanity.

I'll continue posting about the program, what I'm thinking about it, and the results I'm seeing within myself. Hopefully it will encourage you to do it too! :)

Insane.

After giving P90X a shot, I decided to go with something different. P90X isn't for me -- not challenging enough. But, I was only doing the lean version of it. Classic would turn me into a muscle machine, in other words, lookin' like a man. I don't get the "lean." Trust me. I've had personal trainers tell me that I won't bulk up if I do multiple reps, well, I tried it and I did bulk up. I didn't use heavy weights, I used my own body weight for lunges, squats, etc. No thanks. So, here's my new thing...

Insanity.

I have watched this info-mercial over and over. I bought the program several months ago, but haven't had the time to do it. Working about 80 hours a week while living in Canadian didn't give me much time to do anything for that matter. So, I'm currently watching the "Fit Test" for Insanity. Is it going to be tough? Yes. Is it going to challenge me? You betcha. So, Insanity, here I come! Monday is the day I'll be starting.

I've heard great things from other ladies who have done this workout. Luckily, it's all cardio and will actually push me. 60 days worth of hard cardio. Whew, here we go! :)
