Insanity Work Out - Day 1 (Fitness Test)

A good friend is letting me use her 60 day Insanity workout DVDs. I expressed interest in wanting to lose weight without having to count EVERY little calorie. 
Let me say something first, I can count calories, it does work for me but I feel like the second I stop or the holidays roll around (I do make good food choices)...the weight piles back on. SO that leads me to believe I am not as 'healthy' as I should be by counting calories. I also use an elliptical machine to workout with.
Now, I have cut back on some foods (carbs mostly) and I do count calories every couple of days just to 
monitor my food intake and make sure I am not over doing it. I still wasn't losing weight as fast as I wanted, so my friend suggested the Insanity workout. She also said she refuses to do it because it's hard...great....Shoot me!!.
So she gives me the DVDs last week and today I decided to start.
The fitness test was intense!! Let me tell you....I am so not coordinated to do most of these things...I felt like I was going to fall over, crash into my TV and my dear husband was going to find me laying in sweat, glass and blood. I am still not sure I did the push-up jacks correctly. I can't do a push-up without being on my knees so I am not sure how well those are going to go....Time will tell. 

But I regress....I finished it. And 30 mins (maybe more) later my legs are STILL quivering!!
I am happy I have been back on the elliptical this past month. I easily do 3 miles in 30 mins on that bad boy!! Maybe not much to some, but that is huge for me!!! 

So I decided to use this blog to help in my journey of Insanity...This time the day in the life of....is going to get shall I say Insane?? Ha!!
