What’s Good.
Haven’t updated in a while. Blah blah blah. We know I’ve slacked on the upkeep of this here site. Well I got newfound inspiration and plan to be more consistent…for real this time. One main focus of this site will be my health and fitness exploits. I’ll keep you up-to-date on what I’m doing in the gym, types of workouts, nutrition info, etc. SO get ready to get in shape and do it well!
Now for my log: 28 workout days (days in which I actually worked out as opposed to calendar days), I took the Insanity challenge. It was created by my frat brother Shaun T. I heard people raving about its level of difficulty and since I was getting a little bored of my gym routine I said why not? I needed a great cardio routine in my life anyway. Be careful what you wish for… This is one of the most difficult cardio regimens I’ve ever done. It’s like being on a sports team x 10! A lot of running, jumping, start-stop, and body weight exercises help to eventually sculpt your body.
I’m on day 28, as I just finished up the first month and go into their Cardio core and Balance week before the Insane month begins. The first month was 40 minute workouts. Month 2 will be 60 minutes. I fear it, but it will make me stronger. I missed about 10 calendar days (on vacation), but caught up and made those days up. I made the mistake of trying to goto the gym and do this and stopped after a few days, as my body was too exhausted. I may try again but just perform total body exercises. We’ll see. So far it looks like I’ve gotten more tone. I lost about 5lb so far as I’m about 10lbs away from my goal.
I changed up my diet, as I try to eat no simple carbs at night, unless I workout late. 2 times a day I’ll eat a Salad or a protein w/ vegetables. I have a midday fruit salad as well. I’m keeping it fresh and healthy, as I want to see these results come in well and not hinder my progress. I’m about to order shakeology from Beach Body to see what the hype is diet wise as well (meal replacement shake). I still drink protein shakes when I can’t get a real meal in, and the results and recovery formula from beachbody.com is the TRUTH after a grueling workout.
I’m going to take pics after this upcoming week to see if I made a major change before Month 2 begins. I’ll keep you posted. At home workouts are cool and convenient, but I miss the gym and will be back soon!
Believe it and achieve it!

You better post some pics for your fans Streetz!
I'm good… lol
What Max said. lol.
I'm doing in Insanity, too, after a sterling recommendation from my homeboy. He loved it, and saw major changes in his body, so I decided to give it a shot. Today marks the beginning of my third week, and I love it! That first week was killer, but it has gotten a little better. Not much, just a teeny, weeny little bit better. lol.
And my homeboy said Shakeology is the truth. He has a blog where he records his workouts, along with other health/exercise related posts. Journey of Fitness & Life
