Suprise for everyone, I'm posting again! So for those of you who don't know, Jacob and I, and also Adam and Sandy who we live with right now, are participating in a program called "Insanity." Basically it's a sixty day program where you work out at your max level for a few minutes and take a 30 second break for recovery. The workouts vary every day but you follow a predetermined schedule from week to week. We're halfway through the program now and I can't decide how I feel about it.
On the one hand, I am definitely a lot stronger than I was when I started, hands down. I can tell because I can do more in the workout and there's a fitness test you do every two weeks. My muscles are getting more defined and such, and I guess I've lost about an inch or so around the middle.
On the other hand, I have not lost ANY weight. I initially lost two pounds, then gained two pounds, and ever since then I just keep fluctuating right around where I started. So even though I probably am seeing results, I don't feel like it. I'm only two or three pounds (depending on the day) from my pre-pregnancy weight, but I just cannot get there.
This next month, however, we start a more serious schedule and I'm really hoping that the first month was more for prep and this next one holds the results I want. I also think, however, that I need to be more resolved to actually get where I want to be. So this is what I am resolving to do today:
-Put my scale away and only check it once a week
-Eat healthier (I'm not cutting out sweets though because I'm not crazy)
-Not sit around all day after I've worked out
That last one is definitely the hardest because I feel like I need to get moving more than just the forty minutes or so I'm exercising, but it's been challenging because I feel like with Kimball that's all I can do for now. It's only three things but I really want to get results, and I'm getting frustrated. I actually really enjoy the workouts and pushing myself and getting sweaty, but I want to know that it's working too. So here we go "Insanity," part 2. We're going to do this thing, and it better work.
