Insanity - 1 month in

It's been 30 days since I started Insanity. I got on the scale after one month of this routine and I must say I was disappointed to have only lost 4 pounds. I know that this is only one measure of progress but the awareness of the number is still ingrained enough to make it hurt.

On the bright side, I know that my fitness has improved a lot in the past 4 and a half weeks. This morning I completed all four sets of Level 1 drills whereas I struggled to complete 2 sets during my first exercise that had them as part of the routine.

I feel better and my spinal problems have gone away. I had been expecting to have to go to the chiropractor a few weeks ago, but exercising and especially strengthening my core has resolved the issue. I still need to be careful of my back but the overal health benefits of exercising are starting to reveal themselves.

What this is telling me is my snacks during the day, although not as bad as they could be (no Tim Hortons or McDonalds) I can do better. More vegetables and fewer granola bars!
