INSANITY

Mc and I have started a workout routine together: it's Beachbody's "INSANITY" workout DVDs. This is our third day and we are so sore! But it's the good kind of sore where your muscles are getting used to a new workout. Mc, of course, is doing better than I am with the workouts; he can do at least some of each set of moves, whereas there are some moves that I know I cannot do without hurting myself. The DVDs say to go at your own pace, and I can do the majority of these moves moderately, but it'll take time before I can even attempt a few of them. We're both definitely getting a workout.

There are 2 parts to the program: the workouts and the food. We're cutting highly processed foods out of our diets and we're calorie counting. We're still doing the Bountiful Basket thing so we're getting a huge box of fresh produce every 2 weeks which will help us eat healthier. I can already tell my muscles are getting stronger from the workouts, and I'm hungrier during the day so that tells me that my metabolism has already increased a little bit. 90% of what we feed Baby Girl is healthy food (the other 10% is the occasional sip of milkshake or the occasional steak fry at Red Robin). Now, my new food philosophy is a simple one: if I wouldn't feed it to my kids, I shouldn't be eating it either. *sigh* goodbye brownies.

The program is a 60-day program and we're keeping track of all our stats to see how much we improve each week. We're excited and motivated to be doing this.
