Insanity..!

I need to keep myself motivated and accountable on my working out!!
I love the feeling of being tired and sore after a good bit of exercise and how different I am when I eat responsibly, but sometimes that's hard when you have a weird schedule. I'm the type of person that gets into "health moods" where I'm good for several weeks, only to get busy and preoccupied with work or LIFE and I end up falling off the wagon. And it continues as a constant cycle.
I guess that's the magic of things like this- once you post about it you feel compelled to keep going. You don't want to let down your nonexistent audience..! Lol

So here you go! Today I got ahold of my step-mother's Insanity DVDs and did the Fitness Test:

Switch Kicks: 75
Power Jacks: 41
Power Knees: L-50
Power Jumps: 15
Globe Jumps: 5
Suicide Jumps: 5
Push Up Jacks: 17
Low Plank Obliques: 20

This Fitness Test really made me realize how out of shape I am..! I had to keep stopping the video in order to catch my breath and was feeling light-headed near the end. My major goal once I've completed the Program is to FEEL BETTER. If I look different- great- but the fact that I sometimes get winded while going up a short flight of steps is NOT. OK. A few years ago I wasn't like this... Guess with how busy I've been these past few months I've really lost my edge.

So here we go! The first step on my Insanity Health Journey!!
