INSANE chicks!!!

Just completed Insanity Day 4: Pure Cardio! feel great! i am determined to complete the program! no excuses!

i was really looking forward to doing insanity today but when i woke up at 4:30am my ankle hurt and was swollen from when i tripped last n ight. i am so pissed. i hope its better by tomorrow so i can complete week 1

This morning I did Cardio Recovery. Seems much easier the second round, and wow, i am really going to have to watch what I eat today, only burned 165 calories!!!!!:sad: I guess if i look at the whole week I did really well staying under my calories and burning a lot. So i wont be too down on myself. I already know I am going to meet my hubby and some friends after work. I know I will be having some cheesy bread and probably 2 drinks.

During our first month of Insanity we moved to Max Recovery, longer DVD and more burn. Isn't it funny how we try to get more burn. I know I do. My husband messed up his toe yesterday during his Krav Maga class. So we didn't do our scheduled Insanity workout. So, he first suggested doing X Stretch this morning. I said no, I only burn about 100 calories on X Stretch. So, we ended up doing P90X Legs and Back. I burned over 460 calories. I'm happy with that.

I agree!! I know I needed the recovery this morning, though. I have been pushing myself, when the recovery day comes along, I just say "oh, I can just do pure cardio" or whatever DVD stikes my fancy. Feel like I am slacking when I do the recovery days, lol!! I have also been doing C25K in the evenings when my daughter is at soccer practice in addition to Insanity in the morning, so i really needed the recovery today!!

What is Krav Maga? Just curious...

Krav Maga is a fighting style that was developed in Isreal. it involves hand to hand combat.

Oh well everyone happy and sad to announce but I am restarting Insanity for the 4th time uggggghhh I am going to be a graduate one day hopefully in 2010 but I just can't get my mine around not doing as it is written I tried to forgive myself for the break I took for the fall and restarted week 3 on last Monday but then this past week I missed a few days because of stress on the home front so I am going to keep plugging along and I guess even if I keep restarting at least I am getting in a workout right?

You shouldn't keep restarting. Just pick up from the week that you left off at. If each week you're working out and even getting in a couple of Insanity workouts in then there is no need to restart.

Awesome workout this morning, burned over 900 calories on Max Interval Circuit.

This morning I did Max Cardio Conditioning. In my opinion, the easiest of the Max. Not sure what tomorrow holds. Burned 725 calories. Going to do the C25K tonight, I am on week 4 day 1. I am not a good runner, so it will depend how I feel in the morning, as to what DVD I put in, lol! tomorrow is my day to work out with my hubby, so will just have to see what happens.

I'm starting Insanity on Monday Sept 27th. Looking for a support group. Not sure how far into your journey you all are. Was wondering if I can join in?

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile!

Finally figured out how to view topics you posted in
(Do wish this site had groups like Myspace and than you know when there is a new posting!)

Anyways, completed my 1st round on Sept 7th!!! A week after that I got my Insanity shirt and it is awesome!!! When I submitted the paperwork and pictures I didn't think I would get it because I'm only half way where I want to be that (I even included that in the email/paperwork). About 2 hours later I got an email saying my shirt is on it's way!!!

Decided to take a month off and do Hip Hop Abs w/ Brazil Butt Lift - - after two weeks I missed it too much and I'm use to seeing fast results (yeah I'm the impatient type lol) I got a costume to look the best I can and I know Insanity works LOL I think HHA & BBL are good maintenance dvd programs.

Started round 2 on Tuesday. The thing I'm doing different is not doing the fit test. So I made a calendar so I won't get confused and to stay on track. Than the last day of the month I do the Fit Test. This way I just compare Month 1 to Month 2.

Still doing HHA LV2 since I got a week and a half left and hey I got some belly fat to melt away! LOL

I hope everyone else is kicking butt w/ their workouts!!

This morning I did Max Cardio again. It was workout w hubby day, and I wanted to push him a little more, :grumble: i knew it was one I could push myself on, so I just left it in from yesterday. I did not eat enough yesterday, so i dont think i had enough energy, but I pushed through. Burned 689 cal compared to 725 yesterday. close but I knew if i had eaten 1/2 a banana or something i would have probably done better. Just not that hungry at 5:15am!!! :laugh:

Last night I did my C25K wk4day1. It was tough. I also forgot to bring my daughters IPOD so I could not choose what music i listened to. I just had I Radio on my phone. I like to be able to pick specific songs, so i dont think about the running part. I know a bit off topic, but sometimes I ramble.

The scale was kind to me this morning. loss of 2 lbs from last week, always love it when it moves down!!

take care and keep pushing PLAY!!

We just finished Core Cardio & Balance, I forgot how much cardio is actually in this workout. I burned over 500 calories.

I couldn't do day 2 today. :sad: Woke up sicker then a dog. Went right to the dr and they gave me some antibiotics and steroids. Plan is to do day 2 tomorrow!
