Day 4

I made it to day 4 and i'm doing well and enjoying it.  Insanity is actually not as hard as I made it out to be in my head.  I can keep up with *most* things and he gives you plenty of water breaks when you feel like you're about to die. 
My calves are killing me though, which is exciting, b/c i have NO calf muscles and i'm hoping this means i'll be building some!
I bought whey protein yesterday and hope that makes a difference with my recovery and muscle building. 
No other news.  Too early to see results.  I'll probably take measurements and another picture at the start of next week just for tracking, but dont expect to see anything.

Day 2

Went well!  Shawn T knows how to kick your butt but I really enjoyed it.  As soon as you feel like you're going to die, he gives you a water break.  Any workout that includes short breaks here and here is do-able.

My biggest issue is going to be food.  I think i'm going to go look into whey protein.

Day 1 - FIT TEST.

Came home today and my Insanity was here!  I wasn't expecting it but so happy to see it. 
Perhaps doing the Fit Test when my stomach was already a little queasy wasn't such a good idea (but i was determined to start on a Monday so Sunday can be my rest day)... b/c half way through it, i puked!  A workout has never made me vomit before, but Insanity, living up to its name, DID.  I feel awful.
I'm going to start with workout one tomorrow though.

I went ahead and did measurements and pictures today, so here they are. (I wasn't sure where the proper place to measure from was on each body part, so I just guessed)  I decided against weighing myself today.. b/c i just wasn't in the mood to see a high number on the scale.

Waist (one inch above navel): 29.5 in
hips: 37 in
arms: 12 in
thigh: 24in
