Turning back time at 36

Hello,

I've decided that it's time. Time for me to shed the extra weight. Time for me to clear out the years of gunk building in my veins and arteries. Time for me to regain my life!

My title may be confusing, so let me explain. I've tried the popular P90X workout and it is great. Recently, I've tried another product from Beachbody called "Insanity". Let me tell you... IT IS INSANE! However, at my age (36) it's also hard on the joints. There is a ton of jump training in back-to-back days, and it was just too much. So, here is what I've done.

I took the best of P90X and the best of Insanity and I've combined them for one awesome workout! On Mon, Wed, and Fri, I do the Insanity cardio stuff. On Tues and Thur, I do the P90X stuff. I match the workouts with what the program says to do on the first month. It may sound complicated, but it's really not. Let the X-Sanity begin!!

Feel free to add comments or post questions and I'll be glad to try and answer them. No laughing at my pics, though!

Week 3 Starts Here

******** FULL DISCLOSURE *********

Before I get into today's workout and my weight this morning, let me tell remind everyone reading this blog about two things.  1) For those of you that don't know this already I am a homebrewer.  I've been brewing my own beer since last summer and to be honest I'm pretty good at it.  Currently I have about 5 different styles of beer bottled in my basement.  2) Yesterday was Superbowl Sunday.  Add those two things together and you have one deadly combination!

With all of that noted, my morning weight wasn't too awful as I'm only up 2 pounds.  It doesn't matter b/c it was worth it anyway.  I had a great time hanging with my Sweetie and 2 babies.  The teenager skipped out on us... as usual.

On to business... Weight: 168

Today we did the Insanity Pure Cardio.  It was a slow go for the first 8-10 minutes and I could feel the gunk sloshing around in my gut, but I continued on and started hitting my stride around the 15th minute or so.  The last two exercises are the suicide jumps and power jacks and let me tell you they are extremely tough to finish!  I had to take 2 breaks in each one... breaks are only about 10 seconds or so... just long enough to sip some water.
