Insanity Day 2 aka What does plyometric mean anyway?

Weight: 235.0 (OMG, that's 1.5 lbs less than yesterday. I should leave the couch more often.), Wii Fit Age : 37 - apparently I walk unevenly. Meh. BMI: 41.64, so I'm at lest tiptoeing in the right direction.

You what I hate? When the Wii Fit goes "That's obese" after calculating my weight. I know I'm obese. The Wii has my numbers from yesterday, which were also obese. So, why say it as if you're surprised? On the plus side, my numbers are slightly down from yesterday. OF course, it could be a fluke based on the time of day and when I last ate and all of that stuff that makes your weight fluctuate a few pounds throughout the day, but I'm calling it a small victory anyway. I need a win. Let's hope tomorrow it's down a little too, and the day after that, so the in a week or so, it will be below the threshold of "everyone's weight fluctuates" and I can claim a legitimate, albeit tiny, victory.

So, my weight listed above is before I did my workout. I weighed myself after, and I'm down another 1.3 lbs. Seriously! My BMI is at 41.41 and my weight is 233.7 lbs. Can you believe it? It will probably all pack back on when I eat lunch, but if it doesn't, that's awesome. And if every workout makes me lose a pound or so, then I'll be down 60 pounds by May. I see countless flaws in that logic, as it is based on wishes and wrong assumptions, but somehow it's still satisfying to consider it a possibility.

The Insanity workout is insane. I couldn't keep up at all, but I didn't give up. I did some of everything, but in fat-girl slow motion. And when I got tired, I didn't stop completely, although I skipped some of the jumping while doing the rest of the exercise. And when I caught my breath again, I'd jump once or twice, and then land on my knees or something else embarrassing. But I did the whole thing, without giving up. Maybe tomorrow I'll do most of the jumps, and by next week, I'll be doing the whole thing properly, if not still slowly.

So, my workout is done, and I am now watching Anne Burrell on Food Network. I'm not sure what that says about my weight issues, but I don't care to get into it today. :)

Start the Insanity!

Weight: 236.6, BMI 41.91, Wii Fit Age 33

Activities: Insanity Fit Test. My butt has been sufficiently kicked.

Food: None, yet. But I think I'll go minimal carb when I do eat.

Alright, so I totally botched my Fatty/Fattia project by not only failing to lose 100 lbs. by my 30th birthday, but I have gained like 10. I clearly haven't been serious about this since 2009, and as it is 2011, and I'm still fat and 30, it's time to get serious.

To that end, I am starting the Insanity workout today. I'm terrified. My brother bought the dvds and he's letting me use them. I am determined to do this for real. I'm also taking hydroxycut. So, this is either going to help me get skinny or make me puke. Either way, I'd rather be doing something than nothing. But I really don't want to vomit.

Later that day...

Okay, so I did the Insanity fit test, and unfit doesn't even begin to describe me. Haha. The people on the video were like "I started at only 40 reps, but now I can do 70." Well, on those same exercises I was doing like...4 reps. So maybe in 60 days, I'll be up to 7. Some of the exercises were super hard anyway, but I also felt so exhausted from the previous exercise that I was already behind when the exercise started. On the plus side, I never wanted to give up. My thought was, no matter how tired I was, I was going to do at least some of each exercise. So I couldn't last the full minute...who cares. I didn't quit, which for me is a HUGE accomplishment. So, I'm on my way to slowly embarrassing myself as I waddle through the Insanity program. that's okay. Something is better than nothing, and if I never try, I'll never improve.

So, at the moment, I feel like i'm going to skip the elliptical today since Insanity kicked my A++ and I need a shower before my book study tonight. Also, I haven't eaten today, but right now, I feel like puking, so I may fully cool down before attempting food.
