I just finished my first round of Insanity on Saturday! It was really a great experience. I only wish I would have started eating clean from day one. I didn’t, I started eating clean on the second month. I felt more fit after my first month, but I wasn’t eating well and therefore lost no weight or inches. I started eating clean during the last 5 weeks of the program and lost 6 pounds and lots of inches… oh the power of eating clean ;)
Today was my first day of P90x/Insanity Hybrid. I’ve been so excited for this! I loved Insanity, but I really missed my weight training. It felt great to finally pick up some weights today, even if they were only 5s.. LOL
I did Core Synergy today. I’m doing the P90x Lean program and replacing the cardio days with Insanity. If New Year’s and my Mexico trip weren’t creeping up so soon I would have taken a week break. A rest would be nice right now. Went on a nice hike on Sunday (yesterday) and I woke up sore and with shin splints. There is no time to slow down though, so I’ll ice my shins tonight and keep the momentum. Bikini here I come!
I was at a convention for work today. These usually KILL my diet, but I won today! I must admit I did have a lil cheat. I had a Hershey’s mini chocolate bar. I looked up the cals when I got home and It was only about 63... so it wasn’t terrible. I packed an apple and a protein bar, but I didn’t need them. I ended up leaving the convention early because it was so dead.
Tomorrow I will need all the good luck vibes you can send me though! I will be at the convention from 11-9pm. Today, there were actually healthy options for lunch. I had a grilled chicken salad. Tomorrow I’m sure there will be something similar… What I’m scared about is the dinner. Usually we go to the closing banquet and everyone gets served the same meal. Usually some sort of chicken smothered in some gravy and mashed potatoes and bread… It’s really hard to say no to food when you are hungry, so I will need to figure something out. Maybe scrape whatever is on the protein off and hope there are grilled or steamed veggies somewhere on the plate.
Excited for my new journey! Hoping for the bikini in January!
Stay healthy my friends,
Carina
Good for you Chunta!!!! I am so happy for you. I know how hard it is for you to lose weight (as I am on the same boat and I remember those college diets..lol) but you are working so hard and you can definitely tell you are shedding pounds. I have always told you I don't think you are fat, and I still don't think you are fat but you are definitely looking more awesome with all this hard work you are putting in. You know what else? Slowly but surely all your postings (and Jaz') are pulling me in and I think I am gonna jump on the bandwagon soon...I hope, lol. I mean I really wanna but you know how I am, I have to be in the right state of mind and all that crap, ha ha! Insanity and P90X is definitely not for someone like me who is not ready to go all in...but when I am ready (and I think I am working up to it, lol) I will definitely join your group:) Love ya and miss ya and your blogs and results are EXTREMELY inspiring so thank you for sharing and keep it up!
