Insanity- Day 1

Yesterday was my first day of the Insanity workout program.   I chose insanity because I had already done P90x (well, my own version, which I like to call P30X since I quit at 30 days).  I liked that program, but it seemed more focused on building muscle and less about losing weight and getting lean muscle, which is what I'm looking for.  Also, I just cannot devote 1 1/2 hours to working out a day with my work schedule right now.  So, I asked around (aka, put a post on facebook) and people recommended Insanity.   Let's see how it goes!

Stats on starting the program:
Day: February 6, 2011 (exactly 3 months before my first wedding dress fitting on May 6)
Weight: 136
Goal weight: 125-130 (I've always been more of a measurements person than weight)

Day 1 was the "Fit Test" where Shaun T. makes you do a series of exercises for 1 minute and you repeat this test weekly to see your improvement. 

I failed pretty miserably at some of these.  I'll post my stats later. 

The only negative I can see so far is that all the jumping around is pretty loud and there's a lot of jumping and running.  If you live above neighbors, like we do, and can't work out until after 9pm, like we do, this could be a problem. 

I was sore the next day, just from the Fit Test.  So far, so good.
