Fitness First with KC: January 2015

For quite some time I have been pondering what to write about. So I thought I'd write about my next workout journey. January 5th, 2015, I embarked on a new workout program that will last for 60 days. A program that I think will take me to a new level of fitness I've been searching for for months. Not that I haven't enjoyed all the other programs I have done because I completely have. It's just I'm a cardio girl at heart and when it was announced that Shaun T was going to come out with Insanity Max 30 I HAD to jump on board. I've done 2 other workout programs of Shaun T's, the original Insanity and T25, I have seen great results with them, especially T25.

This is what all you get with Insanity Max 30 (note this is the deluxe package as it comes with the mat, the color coded containers, Shaker cup and 2 additional DVDs).

On Monday January 5th, 2015 I weighed myself so I knew where I was starting from with this program. I knew that over the last several months I had probably put on some weight. I was still exercising but not focusing completely on my eating. Lots of stress going on in my life due to my job and I unfortunately stress eat. I didn't sit and eat an entire bag of chips or anything like that. But it was my snacking and portion sizes. I snacked on things that are not healthy and my portion sizes increased. I knew in my mind what was going on but it was getting my mind to agree with my body and the two were not seeing eye to eye.

When I weighed in on the 5th, I weighed in at 139.6. YES I am putting that out there. Why? For accountability. I have 15 lbs to lose to get back to my weight of 125 that I hit in October 2013. I know that just even by changing my eating habits that I will be able to lose the weight. Have you heard the saying 80% kitchen 20% exercise? Well it's true! Even someone who is not active can lose weight if they change their eating habits to more healthier choices and smaller portion sizes. The exercise is the added bonus because now you're working on helping your heart and other organs, as well as just feeling so much better and having tons of energy. And exercise doesn't have to specifically be home workout programs but it can be just a daily walk, a bike ride, a jog, lifting some weights, anything to just get your body moving and feeling better.

I know you might be thinking why is she so focused on her weight? I know what my healthy weight is and it's not about being skinny or looking good in clothes. It's about being healthy and being fit for myself and for my family so that I will be around for them for years to come. As long as I exercise and eat right I know I feel better, I act better, it helps reduce the stress and it gives me a great feeling when I'm done.

I knew when I heard Insanity Max 30 was coming out that I had to get it. I knew what it would do for me. It's definitely helping in getting my mind back on track, I also created my faith in God and prayers to helping with that. I'm working on refocusing my mind and eat more clean and in just 3 days of doing this I'm already feeling much better mentally.

In this post you will see my before pics (front view shown above) that were taken on January 5th. When I hit the 30 day mark I will post my progress pics and then my final 60 day progress pics. I hope you'll be able to see the considerable change. This takes hard work to do and sometimes I'm not up for it but for me I have to do this.
