So...a week has gone by since we started Insanity and HOLY CRAP!! Insanity is no joke!! It is killer...many days I find myself asking "really?!?" while doing the most insane (hence the name) movements that I have ever attempted. It's been interesting, but I am definitely sleeping better but am always hungry it seems like.
We have also decided to run the Everest Challenge Disney 5K at Animal Kingdom next May. My mom is even going to try to do it with us! We attempted C25K last summer, but it kinda fizzled out. To motivate us more, we decided to "monetarily commit" to running. So, we both bought Nike Free Runs and Nike + sensors. Granted I am a novice when it comes to running, but I LOVE my Free Runs!! They are so incredibly light and comfy. The sensor has me addicted to running - like seriously addicted. I am competitive with myself - I keep trying to be my distance and the amount of time I run vs. walking. I am only three days into seriously running and am already seeing changes.
Last summer we really kept up with P90X, but fell off of the wagon once school/football season started. It is my goal to NOT do that again this year, but I guess we will have to stay tuned to see what happens...
xoxo
A glimpse into my world and its going ons...proceed with caution :)

Insanity Day 1
So....
While in Jupiter for Memorial Day weekend (and PJ's Baby shower) a challenge was hatched..
I dunno if it was the total zen we were feeling after the fantastic massages we got or the relaxing day on Peanut Island,but we (including Jay,my SIL, MIL, FIL) all decided to essentially do a two month version of Biggest Loser.
We weighed in with our partner, wrote down our weights, and sealed them in an envelope to be opened the end of July. When we get to Steinhatchee for scalloping the end of July we will reweigh - on the same scale - and see who lost the largest percentage.
Enter INSANITY!!
We did P90X last summer, and boy was it an experience. Although I did see results, I wanted to try something different and that is a little shorter in time...so we started Insanity today.
Today we did the Plyometric Cardio Circuit. Yeah, the series is named appropriately. Half way through I was grunting and crying out right along with the people on TV. Like Plyo in P90x, I had to modify many of the excercises because of my knee, but I tried my best to keep my heart rate up. Jay and I were both sweating like pigs and ready to fall over by the end of it, but we finished it and that was truly the goal for the day...
