I've been here before but I think this time will be different, maybe this time I'm different and I realize I need to get my shit together sooner rather than later. Almost a year and a half ago i was -20, I was on the right track losing weight at a decent pace and becoming more healthy. I can't even pinpoint what happened but instead of going to the gym 3x a week it slowly went down to 2x then 1x. Or going to the gym then right after going out to eat and drink, so the workout was a waste. I decided I needed to make an overall change, and a part of that was trying to incorporate more walking into my life. For the last month, I've been trying to wake up earlier on my workdays and taking Demo on a 15-30 minute walk. I've also have been trying to get off the train 2 stops earlier and walking home. And on the working out front, On a whim I decided to buy Insanity DVD. My thinking was that it should be easier because I don't have to leave my house and since I spent all this money on the DVD's I'll actually use them.
So onto the DVD's themselves MAN I didn't think I was that out of shape considering I take spin classes very often but boy these Insanity DVD's are no joke. The workout plan calls for 6 workouts a week, and I set out for 6 days but right now I'm up to 3 days of working out. After today I will be up to 4 days. Next week I am aiming for 6 days. I'm hoping once my body becomes stronger that I don't need a day in between for my body to rest. The first day after doing the Fit Test, my body was in so much pain that on Wednesday there was no way I was going to work out. Another thing I am going to try is not drinking for this 60 day challenge (besides beer fest), I don't want to waste the calories. A friend suggested a app that tracks calories and it has been a good app for me, it helps me make decisions on certain foods based on the calories I have left. I decided to write this blog so I can track how well I am doing with these Insanity DVD's so I am going to try to update on a weekly basis to hold myself accountable.
Let the workouts begin!
