Living the Fit Life

So, this is my very post fitness post and I've been meaning to share before now.  I'm in the 6th week of doing a program called "Insanity".  Insanity is an extreme cardio program in that it really challenges you and takes you beyond your comfort level and pushes you into the next level of fitness beyond anywhere you've ever been before.  I'm in week 1 month two.  It's a two month program.  I've developed a challenge group on facebook and I have quite a few people who will be joining me for a second round of insanity right after Thanksgiving. I look forward to the challenge of inspiring them to dig deeper and push themselves to succeed and not give up.  

Although I suffered a minor set back right after week four when my left knee became swollen, I did not quit.  I took a few days off during my recovery week, rest, ice, and more rest then started week 6 as scheduled wearing knee stabilizers and it has worked well.  Modifying some of the power moves to insure that I would not cause myself further injury.  I'm happy to say that I feel absolutely great and am doing quite well.

Here is a picture of my results for the first month. The pictures say more than I could have explained.  So, I am challenged everyday with trying to eat the right things and not over indulge, but I have succeeded as long as I see results from my effort.  I will share my diet and other progress as I blog, but I would definitely like to see others improve their health and start some sort of exercise regime even if it's not the one I'm doing at the moment.  Until next time, have a blessed day and week!
