After Week 4 - Insanity Blog

Weight I’ve lost: Just over half a pound. I went from 164.8 to 164.2.

What Hurts the Most: Almost everything now, which includes my arms, thighs, shoulders, and feet.

What I did: I finished the first month of Insanity. No more Pure Cardio, thank goodness. But now I go from 40 minute workouts to 60 minute workouts.

Diet: Breakfast: Small bowl of whole grain cereal or oatmeal (sometimes with a banana). For snacks I ate all kinds of bars, bananas, and mandarins. Lunch usually involved a small sandwich with meat in it (either ham, turkey, or meatloaf). Dinner varied; my biggest splurge of the week was probably the Christmas party I went to this past Saturday, where I snacked on foods (I had a few chips to go with salsa and some M&M’s). I only drank water with my meals; except for at the Christmas party I had warm apple cider, which isn’t that bad for you.

Summary: One month done, yay! I still have five weeks to go, however (which includes a week of rest doing nothing but core cardio and balance). I will do that week while I am in California to see my girlfriend, Amanda. I have Christmas coming up, so I’m definitely gonna try to stay away from all the Christmas cookies my sister baked! The sixty minute workouts take a long time and on days I work 8 or 9 am to 4pm it’s hard to find a good time to do it. This week is really going to exhaust me, but I will let you all know how it went next Monday. I also expect to lose a lot more weight this month as I’m working out 360 minutes a week instead of 240. Big difference. See you next week!
