    Boy am I suffering from DOMS today!! Which is a good thing! It tells me that 1. even though I work out and do squats, lunges, etc. I haven't been working hard enough, and 2. I've rediscovered muscles that I haven't exercised in a while. What I love about this type of class is that it utilizes muscles in a way that i normally don't, and I need more of that. I promptly went and bought a multi class pass. :D

    That’s great. I hope you get to continue that class. Hope you are less sore tomorrow.

    ✔️ Under Calories: yes
    ✔️ Exercise: yes insanity
    ✔️ Water: yes

    Pushed through and did insanity but my body is sore all over. Tomorrow is cardio recovery which is more like yoga and stretching. I can’t wait. I think my body needs it.
    I don’t know if it’s muscle soreness but I have gained weight this week. My eating hasn’t been that bad to gain weight. So I’m thinking it’s insanity. Last time I did it, I didn’t lose any weight till 2-3 weeks in but lost inches. But I do feel clothes getting less tight so that’s good! I just need to stay away from scale except weigh day. 😆 oh well, I’m motivated and I can’t wait to lose the weight and go back to 140s. Ok rant over! 😂

    I loaded it another day this is what came up. I don’t do keto or carb counting. Just my macros and calories. I just try to keep a balance. Hope this helps.

    I am not finished for the day. But I will be under calories. I started insanity max 30. Omg my body is so sore today. I know I said I needed stretching day but I thought I was going to be fine. We shall see tomorrow. 😂

    I’m hoping my weight comes down again tomorrow. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

    Comments: I took a trip to the library and picked out some plant-based cookbooks and three health-related DVDs. I enjoy reading more than cooking 😆 But I’m trying to learn.

    What's weird is that I'm fitting into clothes better and lifting heavier weights. I'll trust these makers as more accurate judgements of my progress!
    Thanks @HASWLRS :)

    @melissan84 I don't do keto either, I like fruit and veggies too much. But I've found I do better if I keep them below 100g per day. Thanks for the info and ideas.☺️

    Not sure ever since I started doing insanity I gained weight. Maybe my muscles are so sore. Oh well. Not sure how I could have gained that much in a week. 😭🥺 my diet hasn’t been that bad for me to gain weight. Here’s hoping for better next week 🤞🏼

    @melissan84 you didn't gain that much in a week, it's water weight. Either your muscles are retaining water or you had a high sodium or carb day yesterday, maybe both. Do not worry, it will not stay around.

    And you are absolutely right. However that was my weight for 2-3 days straight. And well I took off a rest day and I’m 236.6 lbs this morning. Lol my body is weird. If you want to put that as my weight. Either way it doesn’t matter. Haha
