INSANITY

***WARNING: FAT CHIC PICS AHEAD, PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK***
Not me, well maybe me. I started the INSANITY workouts 2 weeks ago with my husband. Yeah, he's in RI and I am wherever here is, but we do the same work out each day as a way of spending time together and keeping him super buff for the PRT in 6 weeks.
I was in pretty good shape when I started grad. school. I wasn't in awesome shape, but I was doing well over all. Then grad school turned out to be such a depressing experience and so I started eating poorly and skipping workouts in order to grab an extra few hours of study...BAD IDEA. At one point I was 25 lbs heavier than when I started school.
I started a diet. Dieting has NEVER worked for me. I used to see a Navy dietician and I would follow her diet to the letter and I never lost more than 7 lbs. She accused me of cheating, but since Senior Jefe was doing the diet with me and preparing all the food, she backed off. I didn't cheat. This time around I dieted during the summer and I lost 5 lbs. So I gave up on that.
With school starting, I know I can only commit to one big change in my life at a time, so I am not doing the strict diet that comes with INSANITY. I don't have time to prep all the food and sometimes I look up and it's 11 pm and I haven't eaten. It's called college.
So, I am doing just the workouts and I am modifying some of the exercises because I don't yet have the physical strength to do all of them and I don't want to injure myself because I am in a rush to buffness. But, despite all that I am seeing progress and I thought I would share. Please don't mock my supreme flabiness. I know I look worse than I have in a long time thanks to grad school's toll.
Here is a week by week progress:
Before INSANITY.

After WK 1.
After WK 2, the most noticeable change is in my waist, but my belly and thighs are smaller too.
Stay tuned for Weeks 3-8.
I am thrilled already!
