Insane Beginnings

Which is to say, I have begun INSANITY. Scott has joined me.

If you aren't familiar with the Insanity program, i suggest you google it. it's well named! High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) to the MAXIMUM. have you ever seen a workout video where the people doing the workout take 2-3 breaks each throughout the workout while the workout continues? i'm not talking about prescribed water breaks built into the production of the workout. i'm talkin about the workout is going on and these folks-either on their own or because of individual direction from the instructor walk off to the side and sit for a minute or two. it's that tough. today is the last day of week 1 for me and i've yet to complete one of these workouts. and that's ok, because you know what? I'm DOING it. i am getting off my butt and doing something to improve my health and fitness, and the weight loss will come.
i'm in the phase of starting a workout routine where i'm sleepy and hungry all the time. i find this both annoying and amusing. it'll probably last a bit longer this time around cuz i'm going Zero to 60 in no time flat and the body needs to adjust. and that's fine, as long as i can stay awake enough hours to work out and keep the house clean, i'm golden! :-)
another goal/plqn is to actually blog here daily for accountability purposes- i need someone to fuss at me if i start slacking. feel free to be that someone!

  1. I thought I was the only one who got MORE tired when I start a workout. That is a big thing that stops me from going all-out with the exercise (besides the fact that I hate it!). After working outside the home for eight hours a day, if I came home and worked out for 90 minutes I would never do anything else! You are a force to be reckoned with, woman :-).
