I'm from Memphis! Surely there are more people!

I've got quite a collection of gadgets! My favorite is my VitaMix! 2. Onion Chopper 3. Spiralizer (only used it once so far, but it's awesome!) 4. Individual blender for quick shakes

Congrats on thinking ahead and preparing for your race! My advice is to run often.. Run 15 minutes before or after every workout just to get your body used to running. Running even a short time every day helps me tremendously when I'm preparing for a race. You can do it!

Hi Vicky! What type of exercise are you doing? I glanced at a few pages of your diary. You might try adding more protein to your breakfast (like an omelette or shake). I always agree that adding veggies is a great thing! Veggies make good snacks.

I use a Heart Rate Monitor too. I burn 300-400 calories doing Insanity, but you might burn much more. It's hard to know unless you've used a HRM. Mine is a POLAR. Got it for about $70. Just make sure it has the chest strap. Good luck!!! You can do it!

Raw Almonds Carrot sticks Fruit I like to snack on raw foods instead of packaged items.

I'm a huge fan of INSANITY. Feel free to message me about it.

I haven't done the 6 days, but I did the program for 30 days. I enjoyed it. I was only able to SEE the results through my before and after pics. It wasn't too dramatic. I still use the sculpt and high & tight with my other videos.

When I did the program, I used selectable weights. 5-25 pounds and I could adjust them for every 2.5 pounds. They were about $120 for the pair, but well worth it to get the full effects of the program.

Have you tried varying your calories? For example, eat 1700 today and 1300 tomorrow which still averages to 1500 per day?

I totally agree! You did not burn 100 calories by vacuuming!! I bought a heart rate monitor recently and I'm shocked at how few calories I burn. It's a little sad, but at least I know the truth!

Which flavor are you drinking? Bananas and almond milk help!

You can do this!! Does your gym offer group fitness classes? I find they are FUN and motivating because you're around other people.

YOU CAN DO IT! PUSH PLAY and GO For it!

Do you feel like it tracks calories better than one that basically counts your steps?

I love ChaLEAN Extreme. The weight training is very basic. You stand or do lunges and squats. The cardio portions have a little jumping, but nothing you couldn't modify.

I'll be there!!

I'm sad too... but I've been drinking the new formula for a week now and I'm adjusting. It's still a HEALTHY product, we just need to let our taste buds adjust. If you still don't like it after a couple weeks, send it back. Beachbody has a 30 day bottom of the bag guarantee.

I drank Shakeology through my 60 days of Insanity. I loved it. It is a premium product that's unlike anything else out there. If you can afford it in your grocery budget, go for it! In the second month of Insanity, I drank the Results and Recovery formula. It's only about $2 per serving and tastes like orange popsicle. I…

Go!! You can modify it to fit your needs. If they do 60 seconds of a move, you can do 15. Just pace yourself in the beginning! You'll see, even the people in the video can't do it all!

I had great results! My cardio power increased tremendously! My whole body was more toned and I had rockin abs! I hate to say, the abs fade if you don't keep with it. But I love Insanity! I'm sore from doing it yesterday! It's definitely a challenge! I took the Beachbody Results and Recovery drink through the second month.…

I do Insanity! I did the 60 day challenge this time last year, but I continue to do the workouts a few days a week. It's hard, but it's SO worth it!
