Insanity Part 2!

Well, this time I'm finishing it!  As you can read from a previous post, I've dome some Insanity workouts before.  However, I didn't finish the program that first time.  Now, I'm almost 40 days into another run of the program, and I'm going to finish this time.

If you know anything about Insanity, you may be aware that 40 days in puts you into the second "month", which are the Max workouts.  Definitely a step up in length and intensity from the first 4 weeks of workouts.  My body is definitely sore this week, after being basically soreness-free up until now.  That's a good thing...it tells me I'm working my muscles differently and/or harder than before.

I will be posting some before/after pictures in a future post.  The before pictures will be from early 2012, when I weighed nearly 280 pounds.  I weigh less than 190 now.  Now, those are results!

What's Up?

So, you're probably wondering what's going on with me. Some of you probably assume that since I haven't been posting, then I haven't been working out. WRONG! Today is day 12 of my first P90X3 program. Back on February 8th, I completed my 2nd full P90X program. During that time, I lost 33+ pounds (and have lost another 4 pounds so far on P90X3). To be completely honest, I probably have not been eating enough calories, but I have rarely felt hungry. I've been eating quite a bit, but the calories have been from good foods (fruits, vegetables, turkey, chicken, salmon, etc). So as for P90X3, I like it so far. The only gripe I have is Yoga seems rushed, but that may be just because it's 1/3 as long as the P90X Yoga workout was. I have been pleasantly surprised that the workouts have been so good. The worry was that going from 60+ minutes to 30 would be too easy, but that's not the case. I'm feeling great and looking better too, though the "feeling" part is much more important to me. Dan
