Insanity!

As you can probably tell from the title of this post, I'm switching things up.  I had a good run with P90X...a great run, in fact.  I lost a lot of weight and really turned my health and fitness around.  However, after 8 weeks of this last P90X run, I started losing motivation.  Don't get me wrong, it's a great program...and I will certainly go back to it someday in the future.  But for now, I feel a change is needed or I may regress, which is something I don't want to do.

The answer?  Shawn T and Insanity.  I've had the videos for awhile, and have watched in fear a few times.  But until now, I never really considered going to it.  I just didn't think I was ready.  I guess now I either struggle doing the P90X routines, or I man up and get to work with something new.

I actually started on Tuesday, and I'll post how things went these first few days a little later.  I also want to post about some great results I got back from my most recent health assessment!  More to come!

P90X Status

It's day 45 of my second full P90X program, and I'm still going strong.  In my last blog post, I mentioned that Wendy and I were doing P90X Lean together.  Well, she decided after a few weeks into the program that it wasn't for her, so I've been continuing the same program by myself since.  I considered going back to the P90X Classic program, which I did the first time, but decided to continue this one....just for something new.  Basically, you do one less Ab Ripper workout per week, and for the first two three-week blocks, you substitute Core Synergistics for Chest & Back or Back & Biceps.  Lastly, you do Cardio X instead of Plyometrics.  It's easier than what I did before, but that's ok.  I'm still working hard, and over half of the workouts are the same, so it's not that much easier! :)

The weight isn't coming off as fast as it did last time, but the eating hasn't been as "intense" as before either.  I've been eating very good, just not 100% of the time.  I've lost about 7 pounds in the first 6+ weeks, so that progress...even if it slow.  Can't complain, right?
