So we are back from vacation and I'm ready to get back on track. My only question is do I pick up where I left off or do I back track a few weeks or do I just start all over.
I did go to the gym today did a little bit of an arm workout and got in my sprints. I'm prepping for a half marathon on the 13th of August with a friend . Anyways stay tuned to see what happens next.

Hold the Insanity please
Hey all
I just figured I would give you an update. I'm putting insanity on hold for a bit. I hurt my back running and all the jumping that Insanity requires seems to make the pain worse so I'm going to stop for awhile. My family and I are going on vacation here soon too so I'll probably hold off until we get back. Haven't decided if I'll start over or pick up where I left off or just back track a week or so.
This doesn't need I have completely stopped working out I'm still doing Pilates, yoga, spin class and when i feel really good running. See you all in a few weeks

Day 30 No insanity but maybe still Insane??
So no insanity yesterday or today. Yesterday I took a day off before our 5K this morning. Didn't do to horrible ran it in 31:25. Pretty proud of myself kept a decent pace and didn't stop running and I haven't run in about a month so all and all it wasn't a bad run. I also love that the run was for charity. The run was for the Ronald McDonald House. The event was pretty well run for a small scale run. I did almost get run over by a car pulling into the parking lot at the end but other than that I really don't have any complaints. anyways I figure a 5K was acceptable to replace a day of insanity.

Day 29 TOTAL Success
Okay today was a pretty good day. I took a pilates class which totally killed my hip flexors and abs. Then i went tanning. I know lots of people are against tanning but I like to get a little bit of a tan before the summer because then i burn less. Plus i don't want to be paper white when i go to the beach in a few weeks.
Then I came home and did cardio power and resistance . It was hard to do because my Hips were so sore from Pilates. Anyways I feel pretty successful today. now if I can get all my other chores done I would be even happier

Day 28 Time to get serious
Alright so I haven't done an Insanity workout Sunday Monday or Today (I'm still debating about working out today) I did do Pilates Yesterday and it was an ass kicker for sure. Well today I got on the scale and I weigh 157lbs, 2lbs heavier then when I started. I am a little disappointed in myself. I have expected better of myself and somewhere along the line I screwed up
I have deiced that since I have 14 days till my beach vacation I'm cracking down. It's all hard work from here on out. I am going to focus on really being good on my diet. (No more Afternoon twix bar at work. and actually eating all three meals of the day) I am going to do my insanity every day as scheduled, and I'm going to crack down on my runs and Pilates classes. If I want to be serious on changing my figure I need to crack down a little bit and focus. I would really appreciate all the support I can get because I know its going to be hard for me to really focus on what I need to do.

Day 27 I could really use a wish right now....Wish right now....Wish right now
Wow I could really use a wish right now or 40 minuets ago when i started this workout. What would I wish for. I would wish that my calves didn't feel like Steel bricks, That I didn't have pain from my heel to the back of my knee. I would wish that my belly wasn't full of gas and that I had some sort of energy to push myself. I didn't feel like I sandbagged that whole workout and feel absolutely wiped out at the same time. But if I only have one Wish I Wish that tomorrows workout is a million times better than today's.
On another note I'm thinking about getting the body bugg to see how much I'm actually burning during these workouts. Stay tuned for tomorrows workout to see if my wish comes true.
Today I got to work out with Jill for the first time in a few days. I enjoyed it, although like her I felt sluggish. I had a good work out last night at WFT, and some lifting this morning, but dragged tonight. I got a big week ahead of me. Monday is some light lifting, T and W got my usual at WFT and S got a 5k followed by a physical test at WFT to see where I'm at in progression. Been having some good workouts with a few of my buddies out there. Jill and I have talked about her getting the body bugg. She shouldn't worry about, she's going to get one.

Day 26 If your an Animal tear up the Floor
Wow what a workout today. I had Plyometric Cardio Circuit. I have done this workout so many times but each time it is a ball buster for sure. I felt like I was killing it today. I'm very sweaty and exhausted and my poor legs feel like Bricks. I feel rejuvenated though I was kinda feeling blah earlier while i was baking now I feel great and ready for another part of the day. Though the workout felt great I do have to say I'm getting kind of bored with the routine but in 7 days I will be starting a whole new routine because In 7 days i hit recovery week then MONTH 2!!!!
I honestly can't believe I have made it this far. Although there hasn't been any major change in appearance I feel great. I feel so much more fit then before, and I wasn't that out of shape before. This has also made me want to do more to like run more and go to Pilates and Yoga. Insanity has been a great stepping stone for me and so has this blog. I want to thank everyone who has followed along and supported me through this journey. Stay tuned for Tomorrows adventure. Obstacles ahead Two days of 12 hr shift and a ton of house cleaning to do.
