You could also just pig out and drink lots of alcohol once you arrive at the resort.  That'll fluff you up a bit LOL!!!

I didn't think of the timing until now in month two. it's the shortest DVD at 45 mins, whereas the others are an hour long. also, it changes the warm up on the third time through so you go back to the month one warmup. definitely a relief as you contemplate an HOUR of jumping push-ups and the like.

 

weight loss be darned, I'm foraging ahead. I had a piece of pizza over the weekend, as well as a doughnut for breakfast and took two days off in a row (the most since I started Insanity), so hopefully that's counterbalancing the sweat. ; ) next step is to eat more of the healthy foods instead. two more weeks to go (3.5 until the wedding)!!!

I started doing insanity in late 2010 when I went to my cousins DW and she had done Insanity to get in great shape. After doing it consistently for about a year, I just got bored and felt that I had plateaued, so I joined the Gold's gym in January and have really noticed a big difference! I think my body had just gotten too used to Insanity that I was challenging myself any more. This past weekend I couldnt make it to the gym so I popped in an Insanity disc and boy am I sore!

 

We head down to our wedding on May 6 and dont get married until May 12, so I actually ripped all off the insanity discs to my iPad, so I will be doing Insanity at the resort to maintain before the wedding! I am not great at denying myself food, especially when it's so tasty, so I will need to keep my workouts up while down there.

Thank you!  Sounds like you lost more inches than anything, which is what I prefer!!!  You better take it easy if your dress is going to stay up!  ahahaha!!!

I was trying on my dress this weekend with different strapless bras and noticed it didn't feel tight anymore. in fact, my mom commented that I couldn't lose any more weight or it wouldn't fit. I've got 2 weeks of Insanity left, but I think I'm going to relax it a bit, maybe rotate in some more P90X - I just don't want to get smaller. I'm not sure that would happen anyway because my measurements have been about the same since mid-March. I'm just slightly bummed because this was the point where I fell off the wagon the first time I did Insanity, and I was determined to finish strong.

 

I've got just under 4 weeks to the actual wedding day (3.5 wks until we leave), so I'll try to devise something to do in the meantime. any suggestions?

I liked pure cardio too!  I did like that it was only 15 min and only 1 rep of each!!!  So NO, I don't think you're crazy!  We are only doing month 2 from here on out and I miss the shorter DVD's, but I do like the change up in month 2!

So am I the only crazy one that prefers doing Pure Cardio over any other DVD?  I just love knowing its only 15 minutes - 15 exercises non-stop.  David says that isn't true because of the warmup but that is how I see it.  I know I can put it in, push thru for 15 intense minutes and then be done.  I love it!!

 

Gonna do 2 this week...I'm determined.

So....I tried Insane Abs two days ago.  I have never had the chance to do it since my DVD was screwed up but thanks to the link that was posted I got to try it.

 

OMG!!!  I haven't ever been so sore in my entire core section like that ever in my life.  I feel it everywhere...every inch.  I also have rug burns on my forearms to prove it.  Wow what a workout.  I actually liked it and will gladly do it again.

 

Just wanted to share. bunny_4.gif

I started doing INSANITY this sunday and boy was I sore!  I thought I had good cardio but this really made me work!  I'm really enjoying it and hopefully I can start to see the results!  Wedding is in September so I'm trying to get a good workout routine and keep it consistent for the next few months.

hey ladies - I made it!! or close enough, anyways. ; ) we leave for our wedding in 9 days, so I'll still keep active, but I went ahead and compiled some before and afters so I could get my free t-shirt (see: http://www.beachbody.com/text/products/programs/insanity/popup/tshirt.html). as a bonus, I heard back from them the very next day, and it should be here in time for the wedding! yay!! : )

 

I wanted to post some more before and afters here in hopes that they encourage future brides to try it out. I'm a HUGE advocate and am really excited by the results. last time I stopped around 6 weeks, and by continuing through month two, I ended up losing two inches off my waist and hips and dropped about 5 lbs overall. I also went from a size 4 to a size 2 (hence the wedding dress no longer fitting issues ; ). good problem to have!

 

hope everyone is still doing well. I'll check in from time to time to see how things are going. KEEP PUSHING!! : )

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
