The Defeat of Insanity

So I know last time I posted it was about Insanity, and I just wanted to let the record show that I actually finished it! Boo-ya Insanity. I was thinking about posting before and after pictures if I was confident enough in my result photos, but I've decided against it, because I don't feel the need to put up pictures of my super hot new bod... or maybe I mean my still stretched out baby belly grossness. Oh well.

I must say though, I think the last four weeks of the program were much more effective. I think the first four were to get you in decent enough shape that you can actually do the last four weeks. Total I was able to lose a little over two inches around my waist, and I can definitely see the difference now. I think, had I followed the diet portion of the program, I would have seen the results I really wanted, but I lack self control. Also, I only have one pair of pants that I can actually fit into now, so hopefully soon I will get to go shopping! Too bad pants cost money, and you can't just trade in a pair of your old ones right? That would be nice, but whatever. My favorite part about finishing Insanity, though is --- get ready for it --- I am officially BELOW my pre-pregnancy weight! That's right, I actually did it! So once again I say, "Boo-ya! Insanity!"

So now that I'm done with the craziness, I'm trying to figure out what to do with the exercise portion of my day. I have yet to try running again, but sometime I will get back to it. Lately Sandy and I have been doing these super awesome video workouts that are actually from the same company that produced Insanity, only older. They are cheesy and fun, and not quite as hard, so I like them. But I think it would be cool to make up my own work outs, so I'm trying to get up the courage to take a stab at it, and I don't know what's holding me back, so that's my next goal to achieve. We'll see what becomes of my new goal.
