Day 8: Cardio Power and Resistance

Here we go people!!! Week 2 is underway!!! LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got up this morning and did my Week 1 Weigh - In and was very happy with the results of my first week. I've lost 2 inches on my waist, one off my hips and one off my chest! I've only dropped 2 pounds on the scale but my body is looking leaner and that's what counts!

Excited after my weigh in, I jumped right into my workout for today: CARDIO POWER AND RESISTANCE. Last week when I did this workout for the first time, it was hard. Not impossible but hard! It was still hard!!! But I am seeing improvements in my endurance each and every workout!

The challenge I now face is to keep my diet in check and stick to my workout plan while on a weekend trip to visit friends and family on the East coast. I will be flying there tomorrow night and getting in Thursday morning, staying at friend's houses and driving around from DC, to NYC and Philly. It will be hard to stick to my diet. The beauty of INSANITY is that you don't need weights or bands or anything, just the DVDs and yourself! Perfect for travel! I am up for the challenge so here we go!!

WEEK 1 WEIGHT IN

Week 1 is finished!!!

Only 8 more weeks to go!!

Let's see how everything is going on my weigh in:

Weight: 141 lbs

Waist: 32 in

Chest: 34.5 in

Left Bicep: 13 in

Right Bicep: 13.5 in

Here is my Week 1 weight in picture:

Goal Tracking:

This first week I was able to lose 2 pounds off the scale, I lost 2 inches off my waist, and 1/2 an inch off my chest!! I originally said I wanted to add an inch on my chest and only my arms but for now I am happy burning as much fat as I can to rid my body of it! So inches going down in my chest doesn't mean that I am getting weaker but LEANER! This is great!! I am going to focus on getting rid of everything that I don't want before I start worrying about adding what I don't have.

That's all for now, going to go get ready to do my Day 8 workout!

See you soon

Stomach fat is starting to look better and I feel great!

Day 7: OFF

Yesterday I enjoyed my first OFF day from INSANITY and celebrated it by going on a hike in the afternoon up Runyon Canyon in Hollywood, CA. It was a beautiful day and the hike was the perfect thing to do on my OFF day.

I'm excited to do my first week weigh in and measurements to see how my body is responding to INSANITY and the diet I am currently on.

All the best!
