Monthly Challenge - INSANITY - Update

Hey guys,

Sorry I haven't updated my blog in a while, internet here is BOO! and I'm pretty much using my phone to tether and access the internet.

I've lost some weight since I started Insanity - and I am probably one of rare people who is not happy about it. I have stuck to the work out, but not strictly with the food, and I have lot a lot of muscle.  I may have more definition in the abdominal section, but I've lost about 1.5" to 2" around my thighs.  As a cyclist, my thighs are calves are very important and I feel like they are shrinking.

I do plan on continuing on with the program, but I will start supplementing with abdominal exercises.  Insanity is great, but I feel like it doesn't target the lower abdominal.

Will post more pictures on Monday!

Until next time.

Monthly Challenge - INSANITY - Day 15

Sorry for the delay on this post, I'm in Long Beach.  Ha!

I am still sticking to the regiment of working out - still haven't followed the diet 100% (maybe 30%).  Can't visit family and not eat NOM NOM food.  Though, I have been quite disciplined and eat healthier options for breakfast and lunch (while they are all at work).

This post is for the Fit Test this past Monday.  I didn't have a chance to post it, so here it is, nor did I have a chance to take a picture.  

No worries, i'll take one next Monday! I'll try anyways - its a long weekend!

I've actually improved a lot - based on the Insanity testing.

Monthly Challenge - INSANITY - Day 8

Day 1

Alright...

It is the start of the 2nd week and to be honest, it hasn't been that hard.  If you're in shape and use to boot camp type workouts, this isn't too bad.

The format of each workout, is in 3 sets - each increasing in speed and therefore difficulty.  After the first 3 sets, you stretch, then a final 3 sets of different exercises.  If you're use to working out 2-3 hours (cycling or running) this will target different sets of muscles.  For me, my calves and lower back have been the most sore.

This week I've actually lost 3 pounds - something I didn't want to do, I guess I have to increase my caloric intake.

I haven't been following the diet, because generally I eat pretty healthy, my diet at home consists of chicken breast, rice, eggs, yogurt, nuts, cereal and fruits.

Day 8

Yes, I take my pictures before my work out at 7am and I'm really not that photogenic when I am half awake trying to set up a dumb camera on a timer and getting my shot in the picture.

If you have any questions about the work-out, let me know.

Shoot me an email or post them in the comments below.

The next fit test is next Monday - the time of my next update.

Starting in 2 weeks, I will start incorporating night yoga classes to increase my flexibility.

FoodTalk - Chef Poli

This past Friday was a great night for me - mostly because it involved a 5 course meal prepared by Chef Poli (YUM).  Sheryll, Jessica and I started our dinner quite early 5:30 - well we are in Florida o_O

Needless to say - the food was delicious.

Try to guess the dishes?!

Which one looks the yummiest?!

Ha. I'm hungry now.  Going to grad a snack.
