My insanity weight loss progress through April 24, 2010
The good news: I lost weight.
The bad news: It was only 3 pounds.
Actually this isn't totally bad news. Considering that I spent four of the first six days this week learning the program I can say that to lose any weight in the first week of any program that changes as much as this one does is a win. In fact, as I look back, I can clearly see that I lost no weight in my first week of Insanity. So I am happy about losing some weight this week.
I am now 23.5 pounds lighter than when I first started Insanity. I am 16 pounds away from hitting my first of two weight goals, the first being to reach 250 pounds, the second being to reach 220 pounds. I have three weeks to get to 250 on Insanity. I wonder if I can do it?

Insanity: Day 41 – Max Interval Plyo
Today closes out week six of my journey to complete Insanity. And what do I have to say for myself? "At least I can make it through a warm up." Ok, I'm really not giving myself enough credit with that statement. I'm doing pretty well to be honest, but Insanity is still really freaking hard for me.
Today's workout was intense, as all Insanity workouts are. But I can already feel myself progressing through the workout. I'm able to push harder, go longer and do more. I do have a tendency to go 100% in all of my segments though and that is causing me to burn out way before the end of the workout. But I can say that today I was able to go a lot further than I did last time I did this workout.
I am a little concerned with one thing though. My butt is suddenly sore for the very time in Insanity and I'm not sure why. Either I did something wrong today or I've been doing something wrong that I suddenly began to do right today. Regardless, I have something to look out for next time I do this work out.
But I'm really not thinking about the next time I do Max Interval Plyo. No, to be honest I'm thinking about getting some rest. Tomorrow is rest day and I need it. My body is tired and sore. And I have a ton of work to do around the house today, so I will really need my rest tomorrow.
So until Monday, I bid you peace. Get your rest if it is your time to rest. And if it isn't, push harder and dig deeper. In everything, not just your workout.
My Diet for April 23, 2010
Notes about this information:
- I was entirely too occupied with work today and as a result did not eat that well at all.
- Dinner was overload today. When I had gotten home I had only eaten about 1200 calories for the day. I knew I needed calories and I knew I was hungrier than I should have been, so I decided to add an egg to my normal 1 Egg, 2 Egg Whites egg mix. I also added two more corn tortillas for a total of eight tacos. Looking back, I think I overdid it. I should have stayed with my normal eight tacos. I was overstuffed and felt really fat after dinner tonight.
