As I scan through this site, I see SO many people uninformed about the roles diet and exercise truly play on our weight loss journey.
Just about ANY doctor will tell you that weight gain/weight loss is 80% NUTRITION & 20% EXERCISE. That means there is no "making up" for eating that donut by running an extra couple of miles on the treadmill. If that's the philosophy, it will fail. No one can exercise enough to keep up with a piss poor diet, period.
I also see a lot of people working their tushes off at the gym, only ending up frustrated when the scale doesn't move. That leads me to the second little tidbit of information: when your body is subjected to new or intense activity, it gets sore. That soreness is there because your muscles are swollen & retaining water to protect themselves until they have time to repair. This means you may GAIN weight instead of LOSE weight at first. Give yourself 2 weeks on a new exercise plan before expecting that scale to move down very much. It may take that long before your muscles adapt and recover. You can read more about this here:

Always ALWAYS take measurements of your body. Weight on a scale isn't nearly as important as the clothing size you fit into, right? Then why focus on just weight?

Insanity day 6 - plyo cardio circuit: DONE. Week 1 DONE! Tomorrow is my rest day. I don't think I like the idea of taking the day off entirely. My body will REALLY hate me, come monday. I'll try to get in some sort of stretching tomorrow to help me out.
This was NOT easy. My muscles hurt, and at times, I thought my heart would come right out of my chest...BUT...I did it anyway, and come monday, I'll be pushing PLAY again.
To those out there reading this: Just make the decision. Choose what's most important to you, and OWN it.

Muscles still really sore, which tells me there's still some water that isn't ready to go. I expect numbers to go down as my body gets used to the workouts. I should be well under 150 by next week, perhaps as early as Monday ( after my rest day).
For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, this article explains pretty well: https://www.turbokick.com/wblog/?p=709
I will have to redo measurements, but I suspect I've already lost inches, especially in the torso area. Bye bye, boobies. You're the only thing I will miss. Of course, my thighs can take a flying leap, but they'll be the last to go. Ugh.

Even though the scale didn't move, I believe next week's measurements will show the results. Muscles are still sore, but things are getting bearable. My body is adjusting to the punishment I put it through every morning.
Today will be a bit of a splurge, though I'll try to keep it reasonable. Rather than birthday cake, I'm having birthday steak with a glass of wine on the side. Calorie wise, I should be within reasonable ranges. Sugars, however, will probably be a bit higher due to the alcohol. I think its a great alternative to the traditional birthday foods.
I'm trying very hard to break the habit of celebrating with foods. Society is wrong. Indulging in bad for you foods does NOT make the day any better. It just makes my ass look worse.
Insanity Day V - Pure Cardio today. I feel confident enough to post it now rather than after the workout. It's not a matter of "if" I'm gonna do it...it's a matter of 1 hour and 45 minutes, and a kiddo to school.
To anyone else out there reading this: Stay strong! This isn't impossible. Hell, it's not even hard. Making the decision is the hard part.
