Hey Ladies!
Okay so having snack time with DS, just got back from the gym
. Had Max Plyo Circuit this morning (5:50am
) oh man, I was FATIGUED from the first Max workout yesterday so this morning fully sucked! Oh well, it was over after 55 minutes of grunting, sweating, cursing Shaun T and generally looking like a dying elephant haha! Then went to the gym and ran sprint/incline intervals and hit the Jacob's Ladder. So, feel pretty good on the workout front today. Hoping to see 151ish this weigh in on Thursday, hitting the water hard for the next two days, and hoping for the best! Oh NSV, lost another inch in my waist and .5 inch in the hips from the last time I measured!!!! Yay
! Okay so happy there are more girls checking in here, that's awesome!
sgregg-Insanity does take a sick person to do it lol! I think that it is awesome that you are doing c25k, keep with it! Why are Sundays so hard? And if they are then why not Saturdays? I am just wondering because I know that it is difficult with LOs but you can get up before everyone and do it, it just takes determination and the will to DO it, trust me I know. I see it now as ME time, that I can use just to make myself feel better about ME. Maybe that would work for you? Just a thought!
HH4L-YAY! You are back
! Oh Insanity will get you into crazy shape and melt fat off you haha! On the goal front, I have been an athlete forever, college, etc. and I am going to try out for a semi pro soccer team in the Spring. Mostly I want to get back into good enough shape to hang with girls that are still in college and playing. The ultimate goal is to get to 19% body fat (right now I'm at about 21%)-that's where I have good muscle tone and definition, but I don't look scary ripped or too thin. I have been as low as 15-16% (playing soccer in college) but after 2 kids and actually liking to eat and not kill myself I am fine with 19 lol! Thanks, I really have kicked my own a$$ for the last 2.5-3 months so getting good feed back on the fact that there is a noticeable difference makes me really happy lol! Keep working, you will get where you want to be in no time with hard work and dedication!
lupos-WELCOME BACK!!!!! Yay for getting back into it, we love that
. Major bummer on the injury I hope that you are fully functional again! Not gaining during that time is AWESOME yay you! On the balance front, I was playing soccer in college, so I pretty much had a built in maintaining program going lol! But I did have 2 LOs when I was doing post grad work and yes it was difficult. Basically I just had to build in time for me to work on my fitness, and really plan out meals and snacks that I could take on the go or fast so that I wasn't eating crap all the time lol. On the Insanity front, like Rie said it is DVD program that is intense cardio/plyometrics/body weight strength/muscle endurance. Basically it is a total body workout for muscle strength and cardio all in one. REALLY amazing!
library-Hello! Balancing all of that is difficult. I think that many of us just have to take it one day at a time and try to deal with everything for that day and then move on to the next regardless of whether we are totally on plan or not for the day. I think that your running sounds cathartic for you, which is great! I too am a runner when I am not in Insanity mode lol! Half marathons are great, I have done 5 to date, plus several 10k and 5ks. I have found though, that the 13.1 miles for me is SO FAR lol! So I am going to stick to 10/5ks. How do you train? What methods do you use? I am looking for a new training program for after I finish this second round of Insanity
. I hope that you continue to bring down those unhealthy habits and focus on your healthy future and working to improve on the stress levels!
Rie-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA:dev il:
:devi l:
Plyo Cardio Circuit is a b!tch LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so sorry, remember how I told you during my first round that I literally sounded like a dying hippo? Now you feel my pain lol! Oh man I totally know how you are feeling right now, it's like someone ran you over with a big rig right? Every morning you will wake up feeling like that, then suddenly in about another 7-10 days that will go away and you will just feel like the world's biggest stud lol! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! LEVEL 1 DRILLS SERIOUSLY! I was like you have to be f*ing KIDDING me when in the Max workouts he calls out FULL BODY DRILLS
. Yes the Max workouts do really, really, really, REALLY SUCK but that is where I lost the majority of the weight and body fat. I will let you find out but holy crap for real! Do you now see why I always curse him and want to punch him in the face lol?! I love it! I can't wait for you to start seeing those results Rie, you are doing soooooooo awesome!!!!! KEEP DIGGING
.
