I say profile picture as well! Cute. :)

Definitely fabric! The steel apparatuses tore up my hands and I felt very unsteady on them. I feel more secure with the wraps of the fabric.

Yoga and circus.

Aerial silks classes.

I am! We are all doing it in the studio I teach at. How do you like it? Edit: This probably shouldn't be in success stories though. :/

Strength training really bores me but I'm hoping if I keep switching it up I'll like it more. I also HATE knee to chest jumps. Mainly because they are really hard for me and I suck at them. Power yoga is by far my favorite. Second would be running or any cardio really.

I also started last week!

Rupaul's drag race is mine too!

I have no idea, lol. I'll run tomorrow and get back to you.

Well said. On that note, i'm off to the gym.

What's your usual pace?

I think it was because when I was lifting I was doing the same exercises/machines every time and I just got bored. It was cool when I could up the weights though, but often times I would skip out early cause I'd be bored. I lifted heavy and aimed for 8-10 reps. Maybe I just need to switch it up, or maybe I just like cardio…

Ill run with you if you're fairly slow lol.

I know I know. :o

I'll do something with you! Maybe we can find some trails to hike? I've been wanting to find a trail I can let my puppy off leash but don't know where to look.

I miss running. Im so discouraged though, knowing I back tracked so much. Bah. Maybe I'll start running again after I finish insanity.

Yes gotta pass those PRT's!

I'd love some more insanity friends too! I started this week and am addicted. I LOVE Shaun T and the way I feel afterwards.

You'll get there, just stick with it. I was running 5 days a week and got up to 8 miles (the longest ive ever gone wiout stopping!) and then stopped for two months and now I can barely run a 5K. It's amazing how fast your cardiovascular health can deplete.

Wow great results!

If its cardio I don't eat before, but I feel really weak if I try to do any kind of strength training without some kind of fuel.

Insanity plyo and 60 mins of vinyasa yoga.

You look amazing! Teach me your secrets!

How is it inferior? Wouldn't it be easier to lose most excess fat and then focus more on weight training? Am I confused about what cutting/bulking is? Cutting is more cardio, higher calorie deficit diet and bulking would be higher calorie, higher protein diet with less cardio and more lifting? Right? Now I'm conflicted. If…

Tortellini. Gouda or Brie?

A nutritionist is a good idea. I think I'm a starchy carb junkie and thats easily my downfall when trying to lose weight. I'm going by percentages now, I think 40/30/30.

Thanks guys. I think I'll add in 2-3 days of heavy lifting to help preserve my muscle and then after I lose a bit more fat will add more lifting days and focus more on that. Now I just need to do it. Weights bore me to death, but I'll admit it's SO rewarding.

Wow awesome results! I'm doing insanity too and this is so motivational!

So would it be smarter to focus on maintaining muscle then, or can I go all out and try to actively gain while doing all this cardio?

Now I'm craving sushi and bacon fried rice. Nom.
