    Happy Humpday! They paint the gutters today and do a little touch up on the trim and painting will be done!

    Seeing Results!

    Working on liking myself Unconditionally

    Insanity is paying huge dividends, more than I expected at least, both in lbs and inches. I also normally try and do something on my rest days, but I'm just tired and stiff so I think I'll dit this one out for my improving body. My Govenor just extended our stay at home order till the 28th, and now I'm officially unsure of what to after Insanity as the gyms aren't allowed to open till after I'm done. The wife likes her Jillian Michaels videos, maybe I'll do those with her.

    Cardio: Day 49 of 63 (Rest Day)

    Happy TGIF!!! Okay so my next project is to get my 2nd floor gutter covers on without having to pay someone to do it. I have a tall enough ladder, just a little nervous when I'm that high up.

    Grinding

    Working on liking myself Unconditionally

    Uncontent so still grinding

    Working on liking myself Unconditionally

    It's been in my experience that you have to normally be leaner than you think to look as lean as most of us probably picture mentally. That sucks. It was true the first time I found that out, still true now. Maybe it only feels like that because coming from a higher weight and bf% that you think losing 53lbs would look better.

    Cardio: Day 53 of 63 (Max Recovery 350cal.)

    Strength: N/A till my gym reopens

    That's a good accomplishment though. What it tells you is that you have the ability to lose that much and if you continue, that number keeps increasing. Kudos. The average weight loss for most people overall who try to lose weight believe it or not is 15lbs. overall.

    Happy Tuesday! I was supposed to get a whole home water filtration system in on Sunday, but couldn't cause my plumber didn't have the filter yet. He called me yesterday and I had it put in yesterday. Can't wait to see how it affects all my appliances and showers as well as the tap water.

    I Finally Have A Plan!!!

    Working on liking myself Unconditionally

    Since I dont believe the gyms here in Michigan to be opening up within the next month, I finally have a plan for life after insanity. The wife enjoys at home workouts more than a gym so we are going to get BeachBody on Demand. My plan is to continue with Insanity Max 30(minutes) till I have achieved my desired aesthetics. However I am considering increasing my caloric intake and getting a good set of bands and starting to use them for resistance training. Same gym regimen just with bands. Now I have considered doing these at the same time if I like where I am at before I finish Max 30( I have a thing about quitting, but I'm starting to look scrawny too). Obviously really eating enough will be a priority at that point. But a question for you guys too. I dont have bands, can anyone point me in the direction of a good COMPLETE at home set? Price not an issue.

    Cardio: Day 59 of 63 (Max Interval 550 cal)

    Strength: N/A till my gym reopens

    Beach Body has a lot of great workouts. Just don't start buying their shakes. I haven't done full segments of their workouts (I mostly looked them over for my clients), but P90X seemed to be a good series.

    I'm slipping

    Working on liking myself Unconditionally

    Easy workout today so that's nice as I think my shoes are getting to broke down and not providing enough cushion. I'm doing these HIIT workouts on a wood floor and my left ankle is taking notice. I'm also starting to slip in my diet, really going to have to make a concentrated effort to rope it in. I'm earing decent as far as my macros but I'm getting lax with amount of calories I'm eating. 1,900 is what I shoot for, and through general sloppiness in logging and workouts that normally leads to 2lbs a week. Which is why I set it to 1900, I know myself, and I do it for the same reason people set their clocks fast. If I'm really diligent its 2.5 to 3lbs which I know is too fast but that's only when I'm extremely busy. I would say on any given normal day I'm at 2000-2100cals. when the day is over. However, lately that's just not enough and I swear I could eat a horse some nights. But I'm not willing to go up as my current plan is 2lbs a week right on schedule, and I easily still have weight to lose. For the record I'm 6'3.5, 230lbs and 24yrs young. Body fat I'd say is still mid to high 20's

    Hi there! I found your group and would love to participate since I'm having the hardest time with staying active under quarantine. I really don't like working from home and the weather has been unpredictable in NY so I don't walk consistently. But I signed up for BeachBody and started Insanity. I will be posting in here to help with my consistency. :)

    Cardio: 70 Mins Insanity (Fit Test & Day 1)
    Strength: None
    Assessment: This is bad but I do have left over spaghetti that I am going to finish :( Tomorrow will be better.
