Pure Cardio Day 5

Yesterday's workout was Pure Cardio.  I have to admit I thought I would be really sore from these days that I have been doing Insanity BUT I havent. I know I am sweating buckets and trying my hardest. Really wondering why I am not sore. Anyway, I was able to burn 220 calories from doing 38 minutes of Insanity. Wish it was more, but I know it has to do alot with your age, weight, etc.  I have NOT been using my HRM but have been using this site:  http://www.braydenwm.com/calburn.htm I have been taking my HR when we have breaks within our workout. I hope I am doing it correctly though.  This site was recommended by a friend from myfitnesspal.com.  By the way, have you used this site? Its amazing. I love how it tracks everything for you (calories, sugar, protein, etc even workouts) The people there is so supportive. 

So today's workout should be challenging or at least I am going to make it challenging. I want to burn 400 cals MAX per each day I do Insanity which means I have to "Dig Deeper".  I will be creating a fan page as well for all my fitness friends where we can share tips, success stories, ups and downs and ways to keep us accountable and motivated. I will be sharing it as soon as I have it completed.

Day 3 Insanity

Day 3 of Insanity was a killer... I did 39 minutes of Cardio Resistance.. I modified a few things like the high jumps and of course the pushups, but other than that it was a success.. This workout program is NOT for the begginers let me tell you... I even think this is a bit hard for me but I am planning on pushing PLAY!  I have always done Turbo Jam, Hip Hop Abs and Turbo Fire so I wanted something that can challenge me therefore i picked out Insanity. 

I havent been using my HRM watch... I have been manually taking my heart rate almost every 10 minutes to calculate my calories burned.. Yesterday only doing 39 minutes I burned around 468 calories. AMAZING!  Today is Day 4 and looking forward to it..

I do miss doing ZUMBA! My friend is an instructor and she sends me message if I am going to her class. I love ZUMBA... So what I was planning on doing is on my INSANITY rest days doing Zumba.. That way I can continue dancing...

My calorie intake yesterday was a bit low.. 1300 cals.. I need to step it up and eat around 1500 calories a day.. That is something that I need to work on..

Insanity Day 1 & Blogging

I know I know, I havent kepted up with Blogging but have been really thinking of ways I can do this... I have been thinking of adding the app on my phone so I can always post notes of how I feel before, after working out.. You know instead of waiting and forgetting the things that are important..  I also have been thinking about video blogging, wonder if anyone has done that before... Thoughts??

Ok so about my journey so far... Well I had supposably started P90X but STOPPED, I just thought right now it isnt for me. The workouts are very long and well sometimes I wanted to squeeze in some cardio and couldnt. Anyway, so today I decided on starting Insanity. I really want to add Chalene Extreme into my routine to weight train. I think this will help me lose weight and tone up.

As far as my eating habits, I have ordered Shakeology again! Basically my husband was bugging me to get it because of what he felt. The day he tried Shakeology for the first time he had so much energy and his cravings were gone. He was amazed at what he was feeling. I told him it was the Shake. He said "Well get me some more". Funny thing is that he never believes on what products can do until this one Shake. Gotta tell you it does wonders..  So what I plan on doing is drinking Shakeology for breakfast everyday.  My calorie intake will be around 1500 a day with a protein shake after working out to help me recover. 

This is it for now... Will be blogging about my 1st day of Insanity/..
