Insanity

Tomorrow, Nathan and I are starting a program called Insanity. It's supposed to be one of the hardest workout programs you can do. Burning 900+ calories a workout and giving you dramatic results in two months. We are really pumped about this! (ask us during the program and we might say differently...) We will be working out 6 days a week and taking Sundays off. We also have to eat 5 times a day. Five small meals following a diverse but very healthy meal plan. We will be taking our Before pictures today and if we stick with the program and have good results, we'll send in our before and after pictures and we get a t-shirt saying we survived Insanity. haha

I know the workout is going to be tough and really challenging. I know that I'm not really in shape for it, but that's the reason why I want to do it. What I'm more nervous about is the 5 meals. I struggle with wanting to eat in the morning hours. Some days it's 1 o'clock before I eat anything for the first time. I know that isn't good. When Weston really depended on me for nutrition I made myself eat a small breakfast and then have lunch, etc. The summer between my freshman and sophomore year of college, I lost about 25 pounds. I was keeping two very active boys full time but that was the most exercise I did. I simply didn't eat much. Not a healthy way of doing it! Since then I learned to maintain by eating more often but smaller portions and making my choices be healthier but breakfast is still hard for me because I don't get hungry until around 10 and then I think I should wait for lunch. But that changes tomorrow...by lunch time I will have had two meals already! :)

I'm also nervous about if my body can handle it right now. I had started getting into running and for the first time in my life really enjoying it. Then the little problem I've had in my ankles and heels for the past couple of years became a much larger problem. (too long to write about right now) But I'm going to see a podiatrist on Wednesday so hopefully I'll know more then. The bruising and swelling have gone down because I haven't been walking or running in a week and half but I'm still in pain. Hopefully I'll start this program and get some good news on Wednesday that will allow me to continue!
