Introduction To Insanity

   So where do I begin? Well, about 13 months ago I was in the army and pregnant with my son. I didn't watch what I ate. Either I was too tired to cook or craving ice cream. I was also stationed in Korea where the was no physical fitness program for pregnant soldiers. So I had my son and he was a whopping 9 lbs 13 oz. My prepregnancy weight was 160 lbs. And my postpartum weight was 206 lbs.
    About 4 months ago, I decided to change that and signed up for a Biggest Loser competition here between the wives. Between then and now I've lost 15 lbs doing Jillian Micheal's 30 Day Shred and her Ripped in 30 DVDs and by drinking GNCs Lean shakes. So now I weigh about 191 lbs.
    But I found myself not sticking to those DVDs because I got bored. They were the same workouts everyday for a week. Although they were exhausting they got boring. I lost 6 inches off my waist from doing her DVDs. So I was thinking about starting a new workout.
   I wanted something with more variety to keep me interested and something that will give me results. I was thinking of P90X since I have a friend who did it and looks fantastic. But I did more research. P90X wasn't only expensive, but you needed special equipment to do it. The workouts are also an hour long. With a one year old, I don't want to spend all of my free time working out.
  So then I stumbled upon  beach body's Insanity workout. It's by the same makers of P90X except you do not need special equipment. It uses just your own body weight. Also, the workouts are just approximately 45 minutes long. That's just enough time to do the workout and shower before my son wakes up from his morning nap.
 I started my workout today. Day 1 you do you the fit test. I wasn't planning on starting until Monday, but I got to thinking that every day I push this off is another day I have to wait to get my body back. So I got myself up and got in workout clothes and did the Fit test. Let me just say that I was impressed! I was worn out.

 Here are my stats for today :

190.5 lbs

35 inch waist

42 inch hips

Here are my Fit test results:

Switch Kicks: 80

Power Jacks: 32

Power Knees: 56

Power Jumps: 26

Globe Jumps: 6

Suicide Jumps: 9

Push up Jacks: 11

Low Plank Oblique: 20

   As you can tell I got tired at the end. I realized how out of shape I am. But, I know the only way I can change that is to step up, and dig deeper. I hope I get great results like all the peoples before and after photos I have seen. Now we know to lose weight, exercise isn't going to get you there alone, so lets talk about what I am eating.

  I decided I'm going to stick with the GNC Lean shakes. But I know I can't live off them so I will give myself a break and just eat healthy one or two days out of the week. I will eat a small preworkout snack. Like today I had peanut butter toast. After my workout I drank a GNC shake. For Lunch I will drink another shake and eat a healthy low calorie dinner. 

  In conclusion, I want to say that, so far so good it's only day 1 but its a huge step. I know I'm not going to be  able to stick with this strictly, because we will be moving from South Korea to Texas in a couple weeks. We also will be stopping and seeing family in the month between our move. So I will try and do my workouts as much as possible but I can't make too many promises. I guess only time will tell.
