    Burned 873 calories on my last Max Interval workout for Insanity. 3 more workouts to go until my final fit test. I'm excited and sad. But looking forward to the Insanity/ Turbo Fire Hybrid i think I want to do.

    Today was my last Insanity Core Cardio and Balance and I decided to go for a run today too. 3 days let until I am done with Insanity and my body is totally screaming about it. My muscles are tired and I'm exhausted part of this is because of the craziness of Insanity and the other part is because TOM is on the way not the ideal time to finish and do measurements lol. may have to measure the following week.

    TF HIIT 25 & Upper 20 today. Burned 292 calories. Will burn more later when I do my C25K run. Today will be first day of running with no walking breaks...2.25 miles! We'll see how that goes. Wish me luck!

    Have a great day, everybody!!

    So like a complete neurotic person I decided to double up on my Insanity workouts today. This morning I did Max Insanity Plyo and this evening I did Max Cardio Conditioning. Minus the cardio abs I'll do that tomorrow after the fitness test. Why would I do this to myself you might ask? Because friday I was so physically and mentally exhausted from work and Insanity that I couldn't even think about anything but putting my head on the pillow. I felt physically sick from the thought of not doing it but I knew I wouldn't be able to do it without risking injury so....I got up this morning did the 1st one and then after a full day that included work which I rarely do on Saturdays and housework which I do every Saturday I did the 2nd workout. Fitness test is tomorrow and I will be done with Insanity. :bigsmile: Next step Insanity/Turbo fire hybrid

    Have a good night all.

    TF Greatest HIITs and W7D1 of C25K this morning. I decided to up my calories even more since the scale hasn't moved in like a month and a half. I'm thinking I may not be eating enough since I've added running on top of my regular workouts. Not sure, but we'll see how that works.

    Have a great day everyone!

    I'm not sure what model of Precor elliptical machine I used at the gym yesterday but my heart rate monitor showed 695 calories burned after an hour of work!

    Today's workout...Barbell Strength class. This week's nutrition focus...increase my protein and water intake and decrease the sugar. What are you planning to do this week to improve your health?

    Ok so yesterday was my last day of Insanity I am officially done!!!!!!! Yay. Here are my final results

    Switch Kicks 30,45,51,61, 67
    Powers Jacks 44,46,60,62,68
    Power Knees 82,127,132,132,140
    Power Jumps 22,27,37,47,54
    Globe Jumps 6,9,10,11,12
    Suicide Jumps 9,11,12,16,16
    Push up Jacks 16,23,24,26,29
    Low Plank Oblique 33,44,50,61,65

    They probably would have been better if I hadn't done to max workouts the day before. Today I didn't do anything lol I'm pretty sore from the past few days. I'll have picks and measurements next week this is a bad week because TOM is here ugggh.

    Cee-I'm totally sad that I didn't make it to wine in the woods. I think I'm suppose to go to the Caribbean wine festival up in Linganore this weekend.

    Next up the Insanity/Turbo Fire Hybrid. This week i think I'm gonna just do some running and to maintain cardio and give Insanity a break.

    Congratulations Felicia!!!! 60 days of Insanity is no joke and your fit test results prove how far you've come during this journey. I am so proud of you for not only finishing but also for taking charge of your health and fitness.

    I know you're going to love Turbo Fire...it's completely different from Insanity but (in my opinion) WAY MORE FUN! I look forward to hearing your thoughts as you begin the hybrid.

    Didn't get to post yesterday but I did Turbo Fire HIT 15 and Today I ended up doing TF/Fire 30 & TF/ Tone 30 (only 18 minutes of it got called back into work) I think I am going to Insanity Cardio abs this evening. I'm trying to take a break from the Intensity of Insanity for a week before I start the Insanity /Turbo Fire Hybrid but wow Turbo Fire is it's own level of Intense too. I can't wait to start the hybrid. I hope everyone is having a great day.

    Sharon i'll be contacting you hopefully over the weekend about the coaching stuff and shakology. I think things have finally calmed down and I am ready.

    Slept through my alarm yesterday so missed a workout...OOPS! However, I did get up today and did TF Upper 20 & Fire 30. Supposed to do a 2.5 mile run today for my C25K so hopefully, I'll get that in as well. I may save it for tomorrow. Not sure yet. We'll see how the legs feel later. They're still a little sore from my run on Wed.

    Anyway, hope you all have a great day & holiday weekend!!!

    P.S. Sharon, you're kickin' butt with those workouts at the gym!! Great job, girlfriend!!

    Hey Guys Sorry I Have been missing for a few days between the holiday and now I have had a sick daughter, crazy work schedule (schedule) and started my summer semester for school (working on my Master's Degree) definitely going to have to find a way to make working out happen in the morning rather than the evening at this point.

    Today I did Turbo Fire HIT !5 and Insanity Cardio Abs preparing myself to start my hybrid next week. I think it is going to work out well although I have to say that I think I prefer turbo fires core workout to Insanity's Cardio Abs. The jury is still out however on everything else. I'm sure when I start mixing the hardcore workouts up with these fire and HIT workouts I'll hate both equally and will be cursing Chalene as much as Shaun T.

    Hi Guys! First day back at the gym and I am tired! 60 minutes on the elliptical...HRM showed 671 calorie burn but it was tough. Going back tomorrow for another cardio session and then on Monday I have my first session with a personal trainer. I'm so excited to hear what he has to say about my conditioning, how many calories I should be eating, and how our first workout together goes.

    Enjoy your night!

    Excellent Dyiaane, im pretty sure i am stuck on a plateau and i am only 5 pounds from my goal :sad: wht is ur goal weight and do u have any advice for me :flowerforyou:
  • dyiaane
    dyiaane Posts: 271 Member
    Thanks. I was stuck at a plateau for over a month. It was so frustrating. Then I lost half a pound and then 2 weeks later 1.5 llbs. When you are close to your goal it is so hard. I attribute the 1.5 weight loss to running. I was doing P90x and gym during my plateau. Still doing those but 2 weeks ago started C25K. Running outside always does the trick for me. Last summer I ran/walked from May until October and I was at my goal and maintained. Holidays killed me this year. But I am 3 pounds away from my weight last July so pretty close. Oh and the whole eating back all of your workout calories doesn't work for me. I tried and I don't loose a darn thing. So now I eat back some of the exercise calories if need be. On the weekends I usually have one day where I am not counting calories like a maniac. Good luck.
