    Wow, you're so CLOSE!!! We can do this, girl!! What's your plan to get there? I'm planning on making some tweaks to my diet, adding in a second workout 2-3 days a week (I already workout at least 6 days a week) and "sneaking" more activity in my day like taking the stairs when I can, walking at lunch, etc.

    My plan is to cut out added sugars as much as possible, stick to whole wheat and whole grain carbs, and watch my calories of course. I also am planning on doing 30 Day Shred along with some cardio.

    I don't have an exact number in mind as far as how much weight I want to lose in the following month, however my goal is to stay consistent with the Insanity workout & to get my eating habits under control & on track!

    I've been watching my sugar in take like a hawk too, lately and you have to watch out for some whole wheat breads and products because they could have added sugar. I like using sprouted grain breads (Ezekiel 4:9 by Food For Life is a great brand).

    Ooooh, Insanity! That is like my holy grail of fitness right now! I am planning my workouts this month around increasing my cardio vascular fitness and stamena so I can build up to Insanity. I plan on purchasing it as my reward for hitting my goal at the end of the month. Right now, my thought process is if I can't stick with the bunch of workout DVD's I already have in the house for 30 days, I'll just be waisting money purchasing something new. Please keep posting and let me know how you're liking it!

    I'm not convinced I can make it to ONE-derland by 5/31, but I'd like it to be within reach by the end of the month!

    This month I would like to loose instead of yo-yoing up and back down. I would like to work out at least 4x a week, as long as my hectic work schedules allow. Trying to find my motivation and remain consistent is the hardest thing!
