I am INSANE!
Well, since starting this blog back in June, I am down a few pounds. But, that doesn't mean to say that it hasn't been an up and down challenge. While I haven't reached the goals I wanted to reach, I have eaten more healthily these past 5 and a half months. Wow, just think if I had been faithful those full 5 months how much more awesome this post would be.
I am 3lbs lighter than I was at this time last month, and I only want things to continue in that direction. My short term goal, lose at least 6lbs by Christmas. That would bring me back to (even a little lighter than) the weight I was when I went to Mexico in March 2011 (that was the lightest I have been since 11th grade).
While eating healthy has always been my biggest struggle, I am finding that even bigger than that, my biggest struggle is consistency. I can work out hard for a week or two, but consistency is difficult. I mean, just look at the post dates of this blog.
So, while continuing my endeavors to eat healthy (which have been successful about 60% of the team... usually it is about 2 or 3 weeks eating real good and then 1 week of complete failure), I am challenging myself in the exercise world too. I am doing Insanity, a 60 day workout challenge. So, by mid February, I should be in pure beast mode :) Every 2 weeks there is a fitness test involved, and so I will be posting my results here with the hopes that you all will be encouraged by my progress. And if all goes well, hopefully this will inspire you to start a new exercise regimen that will show you results too!
I just finished fit test 1... and well I can tell I will be sore tomorrow. But anyways, here are my results (pathetic and pitiful as they may be). This are all different exercises in the fit test...
switch kicks: 56
power jacks: 40
power knees: 80
power jumps: 23
globe jumps: 6
suicide jumps: 7
push-up jumps: 3
low plank obliques: 36
