Plyo Cardio today. I have super flat feet and they were really burning today. Sometimes I can go thru a whole workout and they only barely bug me during the warmup but today I had to give them breaks. I was actually thankful for the second circuit because I knew I'd be off my feet after Basketball Drills, lol.
Feeling like I could eat all day. Hardest part, hands down, is not eating after 9(or three hrs before bed). Been struggling. My workouts are better when I don't and I think it helped with weight loss during Round 1. I gotta get it back under control.

Today was Cardio Recovery. Not a fan because I don't feel like I worked out today, ya know. But tomorrow I get to sweat! Does anyone who uses a HRM know what they're burning during Cardio Recovery? Curious if my guesstimate is close....

Today was Cardio Power & Resistance. This was my favorite month one workout last time and I think it still is. I managed 26 power jumps in a row. I love feeling that I'm getting stronger and better every time.

One more day left of Core Cardio and Balance for my "Recovery Week" then I am starting month two. It says to increase your calories, just wondering if all of you in month 2 have done this? and by how much? and are you losing weight? if that is your goal.

I am a bit dissapointed that my scale isn't moving at all, though I see positive changes in my body, so I want to make sure I am doing this by the book.

I didn't follow the elite nutrition the first time thru(or this time, for that matter), but I tried to keep my calories around 1500-1800. The workouts in Month two are longer(59min and 57, I think) so you're going to burn more and will need to replace that. If you're following the meal plan and it says up the calories, then go for it, per their recommendations. I didn't see much change on the scale month one and was disappointed, but figured I'd just keep with it. That's when I joined mfp and I read a lot of posts from people who said that the weight dropped in week 6 and to be patient, so I was and it did. There was a bigger change in inches than pounds. But it's cool to pull on a pair of pants that were only just starting to get baggy a couple days earlier and now they are falling off! You feel like you're melting, lol. Good luck!

Thank you so much for the insight, I am just going to go for it and hope for the best! Today, was my last "recovery week" work out. Tomorrow is my rest day, so I will probably go for a bit of a fun run - weather permitting. Then come monday....the looming, MONTH 2. )

Month 2 week 1 day 1 done!!!!!

Wow am I glad I didn't have to work today so I could have a break in between!!

Just started month 2 today.

Holy. S*it!

HOLY *kitten*.

Me too! Fit test and max circuit together on the first day...no wonder they call it Insanity. I felt like I was back in the first week on my first attempt at the plyo circuit, except I love it now!!!

Done the Fit Test last night now onto Day 2 tonight.

...I suck ????

Today was Plyo Cardio Circuit. Felt pretty good. Bought some meat and cottage cheese and Fage and some more eggs and some tuna....really want to up my protein. Just gotta get everything preportioned out and cooked. So much easier when things are ready to grab so I can just go in the mornings.

I did Max Cardio Conditioning today (first time for this workout), it was pretty rough...but I think it's because all of my muscles are screaming; and that was even before I started. I had a difficult time doing some of the moves because certain muscle groups ached so bad, I still pushed myself, sweat my butt off, and now... Im pretty sure I need a full body massage lol!

Today was Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs. Almost switched that workout for a less time consuming one, but then I just went for it. I kind of overslept. I was dreaming that I was working out. I was so upset when my alarm went off and I realized I hadn't been; it felt like I was having to mentally prepare to do the workout all over again...like a back to back session. lol

In my second week of Insanity.... all I can say is thank goodness that today is recovery day.

A most definitely needed Max Recovery today.... phew... now instead of running a few miles for feeling guilty for not burning as many calories today, I am going to enjoy this day.

I did day 3 of insanity and it wasn't too bad. This is my 3rd attempt to complete it. For some reason I can't go for longer then 10 days even though I see results. So hopefully this time having support from online groups will help me stay motivated.
