Losing my Sanity...again

About 8 months ago I got sick of my tummy flab and started the Insanity Program.  It was a tough 9 weeks, but it made such a difference in my waist line and on the scale. I was thrilled so after I completed the program, I started it all over again.  Unfortunately, during round 2 I had to stop before month 2 began because my sister-in-law came to visit.  I tried to get her to do Insanity with me, but like I said it's a tough program and well, instead I joined the local Y.  Going to the gym didn't produce the same results as Insanity had, but I still lost weight and enjoyed some "me" time while the boy was in daycare.  Well at a certain point I  plateaued and I've been at the same weight for MONTHS!! I've gone up and down in weight, but mainly I'm stuck at 122, just 3 pounds off my initial goal weight.  So, I've popped Insanity back in the DVD player and am ready to shed the rest of this fat!!!  I'll keep an update of my weight loss on here as I go along.  For those of you whom haven't been keeping up, here's a quick and embarrassing reminder of rounds 1 and 2 of Insanity...




My fit test results from day 1

Switch Kicks: 110
Power Jacks: 50
Power Knees: 90
Power Jumps: 29
Globe Jumps: 8
Suicide Jumps: 14
Push-Up Jacks: 17
Low Plank: 50

My most recent fit test results

Switch Kicks: 130
Power Jacks: 72
Power Knees: 102
Power Jumps: 46
Globe Jumps: 9
Suicide Jumps: 16
Push-Up Jacks: 30
Low Plank:  90

Not only can you see the results in the mirror, on the scale, but also in my physical stamina.  As I started back 3 days ago (when I took this recent test) it's been probably a month since I've even been to the gym and I'm still in better shape than when I started the program in November.  I don't huff and puff just going up the stairs anymore.  That's a great feeling.  I've lost over 16 inches and 24 lbs (that's a small toddler people!!!)  Here's my stats...
