It has been a long time . . . Ok, a very long time! It has been almost 2 years since I have written in my blog. I am not sure why I ever stopped but I think it is about time to write again. I am not quite sure where to begin but I will say that my job, shopping, the outdoors, and my relationships are the most important things to me (not in that particular order).
I just started Insanity, a 60 day workout program where Shaun T makes you sweat. I am on my 2nd week and I am going strong. Today I found myself wanting to turn off the video, but I pushed through and completed it. Each day is a 30-45 minute cardio workout which also includes a warm-up, cool-down, and stretch. I have written about working out and being healthy in the past. I am trying something new, a 60 day challenge that I am trying to stick with. I have been making multiple opportunities to keep me accountable; I have told friends and post on my Facebook after I complete a workout. This may get annoying to my friends or "friends" but hey, it is keeping me going. 
In my opinion, Insanity is working because there are less steps to take until you are actually working out. With a gym, you need to get dressed, head down to the car (or walk) and enter the gym. More time is taken up. With P90X you need some equipment; I know, nothing major, a chair, couch, yoga mat, a few other gadgets. With Insanity all you need Literally is yourself, a dvd player and a TV. I do recommend water and a sweat towel each time. There are less steps needed get you to work up a sweat; less opportunities to give up. You do not take time traveling to a gym or setting up and you can wear whatever you want because no one will be around (unless your roommate or spouse is home but they are used to seeing you at your best and worst.) You can even do it with friends if you would like! I have been doing it physically alone, but my boyfriend has joined me and is doing it too! We help motivate each other and ask each other how we are doing! Support definitely helps you reach your goals.
