Staying motivated through injury?
I was on Day 2 of Insanity when I sprained my ankle skiing. I was all motivated and feeling great, and now I'm feeling rather dejected and grumpy. It's not a super bad sprain, I'm able to walk on it with only a bit of pain, so long as it's taped. I'm so tempted to do an easier workout, like the 30 DS or something, and just…

Insanity every other day?
Hi all, Hopefully this isn't too dumb a question, but has anyone done Insanity ever other day instead of daily? I started it last week, but have only managed to fit in the workouts every other day, for the most part. My schedule is crazy busy (single mom to 3, going to nicer with full time) and I don't always have the time…

Rnning Frequency?
I've started running again (pretty much the first time in years) and am happy with my progress so far (My route is just shy of 5.5KM, and I only have to stop to walk for about 20 seconds now :) ) I'm not fast, but I get it done :p I've been going every 2-3 days, for the last couple of weeks, but am wondering if it's okay…

Calf exercises?
I've been doing the 30DS for a few days now, and am finding that my calves get really tight and painful during the jump rope sections. It almost feels like they both have massive charley horses, if that makes sense? They're not an unused muscle, as I do between 1-2 hours on my bike (or trainer) every day or two, so I don't…

making up for going over calories?
I had two awful days in a row (yesterday and today) from a food standpoint. Between the two days, I was/am over my calories by about 1200 :ohwell: (told you it was bad!!!) I'm not beating myself up for it, just starting fresh tomorrow :happy: However, I'm wondering if there's a way to mitigate the damage...I was planning…

Ho Do You Stay Motivated...
When life gets crazy? Things have been really stressful and hectic these past 2.5 weeks, and I completely fell off the wagon. I've gained back 5lbs, which is half of the weight I'd worked so hard to lose :( How do you focus on making healthy choices and exercising when your life goes off the wall? Anyone have any tips or…

Is it okay to take a day off from the 30 DS?
I'm on Day 9 of the 30 DS, and am exhausted today for some reason. Is it okay to skip a day, or should I just push myself to do it anyhow? My muscles aren't sore or anything, I just feel allover tired :( Will missing a day totally mess with the program? Thanks!

Small Changes, but they still count, right?!?
I just finished Day 7 of the 30 Day Shred last night, and this morning I took measurements and weighed in. I wasn't expecting much, as it's only been a week, BUT I've lost a total of 4.25 inches and 3.8lbs!!! :D I think a lot of the weight loss was water, as I'm finally making a concious effort to drink enough, but it…

New here, hoping to stick with it this time!
Just wanted to introduce myself :) I'm a single mom of three little ones, with a few too many extra pounds, and too little time to exercise properly :( I realized that I need to start taking care of myself better, so I can take care of my kids better though, so here I am! I started last week, and did pretty well, dropped…
