Insanity!

I'm at it again! The Instanity program has definitely been one of the biggest reasons as to why I have lost 45lbs to this day. With a goal of 30 lbs to lose I can certainly do it with this program. I've done two rounds of this 60 day program, with big results, but the only problem was my knee. This is the reason I did not continue for my third round. I have a pre-existing knee fracture that did not "align" and so I have inflammation in my right knee from time to time, and often very painful to do workouts with a lot impact exercises. After weeks of just running, going to the gym and doing some weight training, doing some exercises classes and even starting Turbofire the results were just not the same. I have not lost or gained any weight from the time I did Insanity also I don't feel as accomplished as I did with Insanity. Also I found myself cheating with food more often without a steady workout plan. Now, that I'm back from my vacation from Cuba I've decided work harder and "dig deep!" I've made some modifications in my home, where I have laid out old yoga mats to absorb pressure in my exercise area and wearing KT tape to help with the stability of my knee. With day 1 being the fitness test and doing some "power jumps" and a lot of impact moves, the modifications has definitely helped. I'm hopeful and excited for my third round :)
