Day 1 - Fit Test

Well, so far so good.

Did the fit test and results are not too bad.  Much better than they were the first time I did the program.
I can defiantly feel taken the two weeks off and how it affected my performance.  I failed to mention that during the two weeks off, we did workout, but we each did different things.  I focused on muscle building, by lifting weights and I did 10-15 min on an elliptical machine, but I can still see the difference.  I'm also tracking my food intake with an app that I found called myfitnesspal.  Don't know if I'll keep it, but so far it seems easy to work with and easy to use.  This may be too much info, but here it the output of my tracking so far:

Totals	1,035	129	38	57
Your Daily Goal	1,661	228	55	62
Remaining	626	99	17	5

And here are my results from the fit test.

Let's see how the rest of the week goes.

PREQUEL

Well, here goes a new one.  After not being able to do a marathon, some co-works and I decided to do the Insanity workout.  We actually did the full 60 days.  But we didn't do any of the nutrition plans nor did we change anything regarding our diet.  We didn't take any before and after pictures, nor did we track anything except our fit test.  And even that we were a bit spotty, which you can see from my test tracking sheet.

To be honest, I did catch her checking me out, when I worked out at home and was about to jump in the shower.  That was a good night...LOL...Once we were finished, the wife mentioned that she could see a physical change in me. My self named "Root Beer Belly" is almost gone, but not my side spare tires.  I do have more energy and I feel better.  My close fit and even a few pair of shorts are a bit big on me.  But every time I get on the scale, I haven't lost a single pound.  Both of my co-workers have mentioned the same, and have even mentioned that they gained a few pounds.  We're calling it "muscle mass"

So after taken two weeks off, we decided to do it again, but this time, we are going to follow some type of diet.  Personally I'm going to follow, as best as I can, the Insanity nutrition plan.  I've even decided to....wait for it....give up beer for 60 days.  I figured if I'm going to put myself through this again, I better see more results.  And besides, I can afford to stop drinking, it's not that important to me.  Yes I said it.
