NEW CHALLENGE: INSANITY!!!

Hi - I'm starting a brand new challenge tomorrow... INSANITY!! First of all, I can't believe how excited I am to start this program! Even though it's named INSANITY... We're about to find out if that name is appropriate or not...! EEK! INSANITY is through Beachbody - the same peeps that brought P90X to the world. This one is hosted by Shaun T and is supposed to be all focused on cardio and really pushing yourself to the MAX! Why am I so excited? Let me count the ways... 1. I finished doing Chalean Extreme (also in the Beachbody family) in the fall, and it was great to have a program to do daily. (I am WAY more consistent with my workouts when it's part of a scheduled program...) So, I've been looking forward to starting a new program. 2. One of the things that I found missing from Chalean Extreme was the "superhero" feeling that I'd get during P90X... Going so beyond where I first thought I was capable of... and feeling the amazing rush afterwards - all day actually - of being impressed with yourself. 3. Don't tell my mom... but I also missed the swearing. Working out so hard and pushing myself that I HAD to swear. It was the only way for me to make it through... 4. It's time to shake things up a bit! I've been focused on strength for awhile now, and I'm ready to just spend my time MOVING! My goals... All of the above... plus... I REALLY want to get through this holiday season without gaining weight. I like the zone I'm in right now... and so, I'm hoping not to gain any weight (I'll allow a general fluctuation upwards of 2lbs, but that's it). Of course, if I lose weight... well, that's just all the better! I ultimately want to lose about 10 more pounds, so, if that's part of this... MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME!!! :) (And for those of you keeping score... that will have seen me lose 50 lbs!!! How amazing!!) So, tomorrow is Day 1 of 60. It all begins with a Fit Test! As per, my P90X blogs, I will do my best to record my entry the same day as each workout. I still don't know how the holidays are going to play into this... do I just "skip" days... or do I put the schedule "on hold"... Dunno yet. Hopefully, I'm still pushing play then!! :)
