Insanity

Jake & I have both been wanting to lose some weight & get back in better shape for a while now. We are going to start Insanity Monday. I've done a few of the videos before & know that it's going to be a tough 60 days! I'm hoping by doing it together we can stick to it. The harder thing for us though will be eating better - our biggest issue is definitely portion sizes (and snacking for me). Being home with Madison has not been good for my eating habits. I don't eat out as often, but the kitchen is just a few steps away. I eat when I'm stressed - so the past year has not helped in that aspect!

When we decided we were going to try to have a baby, I lost almost 30 pounds... I was eating 1200 - 1500 calories a day & doing a lot of workout classes at a gym in Bowling Green. I was the weight I was when I was playing college volleyball. Then I gained 40 pounds total when I was pregnant with Madison. When she was two weeks old I had lost about 25 pounds, but I have been stuck there ever since. I still need to lose about 15 pounds to be where I was pre-pregnancy. So my goal with Insanity will be to lost at least that 15 pounds (the more the merrier though)!

If you've done Insanity, any tips or things learned would be greatly appreciated, especially if you had success with a certain type of eating plan.
