Well what can I say?  Shakeology is everything they say it is...and then some.  Not a big fan of the Greenberry flavor (at all), but the chocolate is perfect.  I've basically been using Shakeology as a meal replacement for breakfast on my workout days.  I usually spruce it up with a tablespoon of peanut butter and a medium banana for added calories.  I also belwnd it with Silk Light Soy Chocolate Milk.  DELICIOUS!

I am convinced that Shakeology is what made the difference in my weight loss and energy level, not to mention the boost to my immune system.  During my second round of INSANITY, I started using Shakeology on a regular basis and just when I thought my weight loss was done, I dropped down from 175 to 168.  Truly amazing stuff.  And that was the omnly thing I changed, so I attrinbute that success to Shakeology.

If you haven't tried it, you should.  Shakeology will definintely help you DIG DEEPER!

Well, here I am, another round of INSANITY in the history books.  I didn't realize how much could happen in only 60 days.  When I started my second round in November 2010, I had no idea that over the course of the next two months I would leave my current job to move to the DC area, maintain two households, and continue to press play every day, 6 days a week.  Now that I think about it, INSANITY was the only constant thing I could rely on during all of that transition.

So, my journey began on September 13, 2010 with my first round of INSANITY and I was immediately addicted to it. After taking a week off and another week performing the recovery week routine, I jumped right back in for Round 2 in November 2010.  Just following my recovery week in round two I moved up here for my new job, but I'm extremely proud and happy to say that I finished on time - January 29, 2011.

I have now lost a total of 36 pounds, decreased my body fat by 15% (29% down to 14%), and now wear a lose fitting size 31" waist in my pants.

I want to believe that Shakeology made the difference in this second round. I was consistent with the shake and it did everything they say it does. I'm a believer!

So, here I am...lighter, healthier, more energetic, and fit!  Dig Deeper!

Took the day off from work today frankly because I just needed a mental health day from that place, so I got some much needed sleep.  It's Day 4 of Round 2 (Pure Cardio).  I started working out this morning at 0800 versus my normal 0430 wake up call. This workout was mentally challenging for me.

I really killed the warm up routine and did pretty well for the rest of the workout.  I am definately performing at a much higher level now, but because of the elevated intensity, I'm still getting my ass handed to me in these workouts.

I used Results and Recovery Formula DURING this workout.  Speaking of products, my shakeology order arrived on Tuesday and we  (My wife Samantha and I) tried the Green Berry flavor wednesday morning as a meal replacement for breakfast.  Honestly I have to say I'm not a fan of the green stuff.  I ordered the box that has both flavors so Sam could try Shakeology.  She doesn't care for chocolate.  She wasn't a big fan of the berry either.  We'll try using some of the recipes to see if we can come up with a formula that works for her.  The Key Lime flavor sounds promising.

I used the chocolate shakeology this morning.  Good stuff.  Thick and chocolate-y! I mixed it using Silk Light Soy Chocolate milk instead of water.  I also added a banana and some instant coffee for a little flavor.  It was really good...and filling.  I plan on using it to replace breakfast since that will be th eeasiest meal for me to change.

Last note for this entry is that I need to get a little more serious on the nutirition side of the house for this round.  I stuck closely to the Elite Nutrition Guide last time, but this round I have not been as strict.  I want to tighten things us to try to shed this last small bit of lower abdomen fat. We'll see how it goes.  Until next time...DIG DEEPER!

I decided to start a blog during my second round of Insanity.  So today is the day.  I have no idea what I'm going to write about, but hopefully it has something value added.

I started my first round of Insanity on September 13, 2010 and finished on November 13, 2010.  Tough workout, but I loved it.  I took two weeks off before starting my second round.  Well, technically it was only one week off because during the second week I went back to the Insanity Rest Week Routine for 6 days. I didn't use the Results and Recovery Formula or Shakeology, but followed the Elite Nutrition Guide pretty closely.  Towards the end of Round 1 I ordered INSANITY Deluxe DvD's which I will incorporate in Round 2.

When all was said and done, I dropped 20 pounds, shed 7 inches from my body, and dropped 7% off my body fat.  I was wearing a size 34" waist in my jeans and the waistband was folding over due to my "love handles".  Not anymore!  I'm wearing a size 31" waist in jeans now with some room left over.  At 43 years old, I'm in the best shape of my life.

Round 2 officially started on Monday, November 29, 2010.  Three days in and I'm feeling good.  Still loving the routines and they are still a challenge; it's a different challenge, but a challenge nonetheless.  Now I am working out at a much higher level of intensity so by the end of these routines I am physically drained and dripping in sweat!
