    How much have you lost?
    I'm don't know if I've lost any weight, but I def feel stronger and more flexible already. I gotta get in my yoga at some point today...
    I stuffed my bands in my carry-on. Will have to do some modified exercises in my hotel room as I won't have a pull up bar.

    so far 2 lbs...at first it was 6 lbs, then I gained back 5 lbs, just in the past 2 days I lost 3.

    I have been reading that people gain or pretty much stay the same the first 6-7 weeks, then once the muscle is built, the fat melts off. Some of the pics I've seen are amazing. I'll def post pics on FB.
    Guy friends say I look 'tighter/perkier'.
    Good for you!
    I'm not so sure I'd feel comfortable telling my girl-friends that they look tighter or perkier. I think I'd probably go the "slimmer" or "thinner" route. Tight and perky sounds like something a creep would say! :lol:

    as I said in my first post...I will NOT be posting pictures here. Nobody wants to see my muffin top that would make a Costco muffin jealous. :lol:


    PHASE II
    Arms, Back & Triceps and Ab Ripper

    just when I thought I saw and did all the possible push ups, this DVD brings in a whole new round of pushups. :x I can feel that tendon in my elbow twitch when I do them...it's annoying.

    woo-hoo, I can do 300 out of the 320 ab crunch/moves in the 15 minute workout session.

    Plyo tomorrow...I think I'm going to switch it out for the cardio DVD, or at least start taking some glucosamine supplements...saying that makes me feel old. :|

    Back and Biceps today...I actually enjoyed that workout today. Yoga tomorrow :think:

    On a side note, I am ab-so-fucking-lutely thrilled that when I went to the store on Saturday, I picked up a pair of jeans one size smaller on a whim...and THEY FIT! *insert happy dance here*

    Tonight, I pulled out some shorts that I have not been able to wear in a while (yes, women hang onto their 'skinny clothes' because 'one day they will fit again')...well those fit too. I have not worn these shorts since I was 21....21! For all you kiddies playing at home, that would be when No Code came out.

    oh, and I still have weight to lose, I mean, I've only been working out for a little over a month. I still have 7½ weeks to go before I finish the program.

    Haven't started my p90x stuff yet since I want to ease into the harder stuff. Saying this, after 2 days Wii Fit is kicking my ass. :lol:

    I did a free step which is ten minutes of stepping on and off the board, had it on the highest setting and decided to try some arm curls with a 5 pound weight while I was doing that. Must have did about 700 to 800 reps yesterday. My left forearm and bicep were stiff when I woke up this morning.

    In these 2 days I've lost just over 4 pounds, not a bad start.

    I did p90x last year and loved it. I'm doing Insanity now..and it is just that. It makes p90x's Plyometrics seem like a brisk walk!

    :clap::clap: That's awesome RKCNDY! Way to go!


    I'm on week 7 and it's a good program, the pushups and pull-ups kick my ass, but I'm not really happy with the cardio options. I've done more HIIT and tabata type workouts in the past. Has anyone done TurboFire? It looks like a good program, but it's pricey and I don't want to invest in it if it's not worth it!

    Mammasan? are you reading this? what do you think of Insanity?

    cbg-you may be able to torrent TurboFire...not that I am endorsing to do anything like that... :?

    Kenpo for me tomorrow...I kinda like itI like it better than Plyo and Yoga. I even bought a weighted hula hoop the other day...'for funsies'...thanks a lot Leezestar313 :evil: :lol:

    If you didn't like Plyo, you will most likely hate Insanity. Every workout so far is interval based and with lots of jumping and synergistic moves.

    I loved Plyo and I love Insanity. Probably because I'm insane! :)

    Im a fan of Plyo. The only problem is, as I go through the program, it becomes a little too easy.

    My wife loves Insanity, but yes, it is like Plyo with extra hot sauce and peppers.

    A lot of people when they get done with one or the other, hybrid the 2 into one schedule.

    Did Stretch X today. It felt pretty good! I'm much more flexible than I was when I started!

    Oh, and um....why isn't Shawna in more of those workouts?!?! That chick is pretty hot! More cute than hot...but still! :D

    More Shawna, less Dreya! :lol:

    Agreed on Shawna. She is tops in my power rankings. That chick in the Back and Bis workout has a cuteness to her as well. Draya and Pam scare me... and Audra seems like a robot.
