And So It Begins...

I will be starting the Insanity workout program tomorrow (biting nails...) I'm a little anxious as I've heard how hard and intense the program is. However, I also know that they preach to go at your own pace, so I'm not concerned with keeping up with the people on the DVD's. I have a 5k Zombie Run today, and plan on doing the fit test either before or after that, to get an idea of where I'm starting off (i.e. how out of shape I really am). I also plan to take some "before" pictures to chart my progress. I already took my body fat percentage with the tool that they sent me, and I am at 21% body fat right now, which is apparently pretty good for a woman. I also got the results of my cholesterol test back yesterday, and I am at 233 which is a little high. I normally only get that done once a year though, so I probably won't see if there has been any change there until I go back to the doctor next April. The fact that it's only somewhat elevated though doesn't concern me. Currently I weigh 134 pounds. I'm not sure I specifically have a goal weight in mind, as I realize that with this workout I may put on muscle, which of course weighs more than fat. I'm basically gonna go by how I feel and how my clothes fit. I now wear a size 8 pant (which is has always been pretty much the norm no matter how much I weigh) and a size 6 dress. My main goal in doing this is to be healthy and fit. I am a little concerned, though, about being able to work out 6 days a week. My schedule is pretty full as it is with work, so my plan is to suck it up and make myself get up early before work to do the workouts. The chances that I will do it when I get home in the evening after working a full 11 hour day are pretty slim to none - realizing this ahead of time is probably a good thing. So, without further ado, let the pain commence.
