First blog post - Tomorrow... Insanity begins.

So i'm gonna start off with... I don't write very much, I usually hate writing because it's usually a topic I don't want to talk about from English class. Even still, it really takes a strong topic that i'm very interested in. Anywho... i decided to start this blog in order to try and force myself to keep to the Insanity workout. I don't have anyone else that would do it with me to try and help me stay motivated in that kinda sort, so this is the next best option for me. I'll try to start off each of the posts with possibly what I ate and what workout I did, how it was, and how horribly sore i will feel lol. I'll probably mix this all with a sum up of what I did that day and such as well. BTW, if you don't already notice, I could care less about grammar, so take it for what it is :). Tomorrow I start the challenge wish me luck and time to get to it! Oh i'll think about taking before and after pictures but i'd probably rather not. Maybe if I look like crazy good by the end of this I will to show how much of a change it was. Regarding my "diet" with insanity I'm going to try and stick the the recommended calorie intake for low weight loss and lots of muscle gain (going for fit and tone, not gigantic muscle man) which is about 2000-2300 calories a day for me. To maintain my weight (195lbs, 6'2) Its about 2800 calories. So a 500-800 calorie deficit should suffice. I'm not going to eat everything like Insanity says for example the Recovery formula and such because I honestly don't want to have to spend much extra money. What I am doing is mixing in a lot more veggies, and going to eat out much much less. I will try to drink less on the weekends and eat all around better. I recently lost 15lbs in about 3 weeks and maintained that for about another 3 weeks (im on the 7th week now and still pretty close to the same weight). I know i can eat right, its just a matter of will power to do so. Here's my idea for my diet....

Breakfast - Meal replacement shakes - Very good for vitamins and low calorie - will range between 200-350 calories
Mid-Morning snack - Probably something along the lines of fruits/nuts
Lunch - Will consist either salads or whole grain wheat sandwiches, no more fried crap
Mid-Day snack - Probably something along the lines of fruits/nuts like the morning snack
Dinner - Who knows, i'll figure that out when it comes time


Eating like this should assist in the whole process, now what i need to make sure is that since i'm doing such a difficult, calorie intensive workout i need to make sure i'm taking in enough calories so my body can repair my muscles with ease. 


Last thing i need to worry about is mixing this in with a full-time school, full-time job... I don't want to be exhausted going into work every morning or struggle with school, both of those are first of course, however I think i can do it. It's going to be tough, but it will just be another thing to add to my list of accomplishments. 


Wish me luck, Insanity starts tomorrow.
