Hi all,

I started the insanity workout program last Saturday and today is my first rest day. I am so proud that I finished the first week of training and I didn't skip a beat. I really enjoy the workouts because I can do them at home and they are not too too bad. I've done my fair share of circuit training, and I must admit that I really do like the insanity workouts, the time seems to fly by.

So, since I've been rocking the workouts, I convinced myself that it would be ok to eat off program... I had cookies, pizza, ribs, chocolate bars, a big cinnamon bun, a piece of fatty bacon and the list goes on... now that I am typing all the bad food I ate in the last week, I really feel embarrassed by how much I went overboard.

So you are probably wondering what my weigh-in on Wednesday was like.... I went up 4 lbs... :( I was devastated. I heard somewhere that loosing weight is 70% what you eat, 20% how much exercise you do, and 10% genetics...
I learned my lesson the hard way. I started a 2 day kick start program yesterday and will be weighing in again tonight.

I want my work-outs to count for something... I want them to complement my diet and bring me strength. I am determined to finish the insanity program, and I need to find the same determination to eat on program. I hope that the 4 lb jump in the scale will always be in the back of my mind as a reminder.

... Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend :)

I have decided that even if I weigh in at the 180's I am going to stay here because I know I will be back! I guess I will know Tuesday.

:bravo:Congratulations to all those that are losing!

hhm6 - Thanks for the support :)

My weigh in on Friday night went well.. lost 2.6 of those lbs... so still slightly up. Someone in the insanity forum posted that your muscles will retain water after working out for awhile... so maybe that was part of the cause.

I do like the insanity workouts!... I did miss two days though :( Sunday and this morning... I was feeling a little overwhelmed with work + babysitting my 1 yr old nephew (who is on a screaming bender). Plus my DH (.. I know this means partner, but I actually can't figure out what the acronym means.. haha) rented movies last night. So I chose to have a 7 hour sleep instead of a 6 hour sleep.. that is why I missed this morning.

I love the program though, and will not make a habit of this.

Ciao for now :)

I'm glad it went down! and you are correct! Everytime I take a long break from exercise and get back on it, it takes a few days for my weight to come down, but that's ok with me, as long as it isn't fat weight lol.

I'm so bad today I was starving while I was at the store today, and of course while I'm waiting in line I see the hostess section and it was cupcakes, twinkies, and swiss rolls, I ended up buying the twinkies since it had the lowest calories (and i stayed within my calorie limit) but i just know im going to have some water retention now!! I always do when I eat refined sugar the day before UGHHH why!!!

It didn't even taste good, I wasn't satisfied, so annoying. OK rant over!! What do you guys eat to satisfy a sweet tooth? I can't eat fruit, it does nothing for me and 90% I get weird allergic reactions to it (mouth feels like it's getting smaller/or tongue getting bigger lol) so I keep away from fruit. I need to get this under control.

I went to WW to weigh in and I lost 2.4 lbs!!!! Not only that but I hit 5% of my goal weight!!!!!!! :dance:

I'm so excited! I am still having a hard time fitting in exercise when I am working, so I have decided to just give my self more more things to do when I am at home (yard work and extra house stuff) to get me off my tush.

Well done, donijo!! Really! May be I should fall sick to erase a few lbs lol. Just being stupid.
hhm6: great!! :congrat:I'm happy for you. Wish I were there. I know it won't happen now though. I was too busy pigging out yesterday and I know I'll have to be more patient *sigh*
See you at the other side, mama!
