End of Month 1

Today marks the end of Week 5/Month 1 of Insanity.  I did my fit test again with these results:


Day 1, Day 15, Day 35
Switch Kicks: 85, 100, 116
Power Jacks: 37, 48, 51
Power Knees: 55, 70, 85
Power Jumps: 23, 26, 30
Globe Jumps: 7, 8, 10
Suicide Jumps: 10, 13, 15
Pushup Jacks: 13, 19, 23
Plank Move: 18, 26, 33


Here are the pics of Day 1 and now for comparison:
Not a ton of obvious progress but I am seeing a bit more stomach muscle definition and a little less back fat.

And finally, here are my stats.  I am pretty happy, especially with the change in my waist and hips.  I haven't been 100% on eating clean so that probably hasn't helped but I'm still seeing good results.  I see my arms and legs are tighter and even though I can't see the muscle as much in my waist, I can feel it getting stronger under the extra fat/skin I still need to change :)

Stats (Day 1, end of Week 5)

Weight 133 lbs, 130.5 lbs
Waist 35", 32"
Chest (mid) 36", 35"
thighs (measured at a mole) 22.5", 21.5(L), 21.75 (R)
biceps (arms down) 9.5", 9.25" (R), 9.75" (L) [apparently I've been flexing my left muscles :)
hips 41.25", 40"

Week 2- done

Two weeks in and today was my second fit test to measure progress.  Here are the results

Day 1, Day 15


Switch Kicks: 85, 100
Power Jacks: 37, 48
Power Knees: 55, 70
Power Jumps: 23, 26
Globe Jumps: 7, 8
Suicide Jumps: 10, 13
Pushup Jacks: 13, 19
Plank Move: 17 (35 total), 26(52)

Good to see progress although I still feel as exhausted after a workout as the first day.  :)  I only weighed in at 130.5 today so not much actual weight lost but, even without remeasuring my inches, I can tell by the way my clothes fit that I have lost some there.  The scale is not really your friend when you're replacing fat with muscle as I assume I am so I'm not going to worry about it.
