So here I go...

If you've been around here for awhile, you know that Scott and I started Insanity in March.  We did really well, and we almost made it to the end of the 2nd month.  We only had 4 workouts left during my last week of school, and Scott spoke these famous last words, "Let's take a break."

That break turned into ALL summer.  The time of year where I actually have all the time in the world to exercise.  We turned into big wastes of space.

BUT we've started back up again. 

I think the hardest thing about the Insanity workout is that it's supposed to be 6 days a week with a day off.  Sometimes that's just a) exhausting or b) not possible.  For example, if I have to go do a party for Celebrating Home after work, I don't have time to work out before I go.  And it's usually too late to work out when I get home.  And I'm sorry, friends, I am NOT a morning person.  So getting up before work is out of the question. 

The plan this time is to make sure we're working out 2, 3, or maybe 4 times a week.  I am going to my workout class on Wednesdays after work (we call it "Get Moving" since the person in charge isn't certified in Zumba).  It's so much fun, and I don't feel like I'm working out.  So if Scott works out that day, I'll pick up with him on the next video on Thursday.  You see?  We just ordered Hip Hop Abs, too!  That will be fun! :)

I don't like feeling bad because I'm super tired, or I don't have time for the workout.  I think, though, that as we work out more, we'll miss less.

I also started using My Fitness Pal.  My username is rebeckann2.  (IF you know how to find people that way...I don't.) 

This is from Sunday 10/13.

I like that I have a goal for calorie intake.  I have NO clue how many calories I consume each day.  I look forward to seeing some progress. 

What are your fitness goals?

It's Ok Thursdays 4/4

This week, it's ok that...

...Scott & I started the Insanity program.  The workouts are kicking our butts, but we're feeling good.

...I'm not totally thrilled with the diet portion of the program.  I'm picky.  I haven't liked some of the meals.  It is helping us to make healthier choices and eat appropriate portion sizes, though.  That's what we need.  Next month, we can start incorporating more things we like if we control our portion sizes.

...the countdown is on!  Only 48 more school days until this school year is over!

...I think, "Nooooo!" when the alarm goes off.  I've done it every day this week.  I can't help it.  I'm so tired.  The alarm is apparently jealous of the love affair I'm having with my pillow.  :-p

...I am glad yesterday was our exercise rest day.  While the workouts are really making us feel good.  I needed a break.

...I came home from school, showered, and basically got ready for bed yesterday.  As I said, I needed the rest day.

What's ok with you this week?
