Sorry for the lack of posts last week - work got pretty crazy and I wasn't able to get in any time to write a post. With that apology out of the way let's start to catch up. I have continued the isanity program and results are still pretty tepid. I'm sure my stamina is up and all kinds of cardio metrics have probably increased. However, as far as how I look in the mirror, my measurements when I use the tape measure haven't really improved in any visible way, and I have to admit that is a little disheartening. I probably have not followed the diet plan as exactly as possible but I also haven't been eating anything crazy like fast food or candy every day. I'm hoping that after this is over I can write that all these things have improved in a big way.
To make sure I do everything I can to make this a reality, I have recommitted to making sure that I am only eatig healthy foods and have started to substitute one meal a day with a shake. I know that it takes a long time for a body to change and I'm just trying to keep that in mind as this journey continues. I constantly remind myself with trite sayings like "a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step" and "Decide. Commit. Succeed." I'm also considering adding weight-lifting into my workout plan because I've noticed that there is a serious lack of upper-body strength building. The plan would be to do the insanity workout in the morning and the weight-lifting after work. I will keep you all posted on how this works.
For now though - I need to get some sleep and try to get ready for another long day of work tomorrow. Thanks for checking in on the post and if you have any suggestions on what you'd like to see a post on send me an email or leave a comment on this one.
