This was the last FitVlog I posted to YouTube before Thanksgiving holiday. In it, I'm clearly fighting the blues and general burnout. Ha!
Not much has changed, but I'll be resuming the INSANITY workout soon! I'm determined to finish the program and move on to the next. I'm not sure I'll record as much video of the next program I do. I kind of think not many find the videos useful, though they do seem to help me see what progress I'm making or not making. I'll be thinking on it.
In the meantime, enjoy the video, it may be the last of its kind! (^.^)v

For some reason, probably just laziness I've not moved on to the next Insanity workout. It could be that it's over an hour long. Something like 90 minutes long, I believe. And I've just not had a lot of time these past few days. I plan to get back to it tomorrow. I really do. There isn't quite as much going on the rest of the week, so there isn't much excuse!
In the meantime, here are the other FitVlogs I forgot to post! You may notice I started to slack off on the last two. The weather was supreme. I just had to get out there and use it! In the last vid, we played a bit of radio tag/hide 'n' seek. In this game, we're all outfitted with a walkie talkie. Some hiding happens with a little chatter on the radios, then a chase to the base. Normally, we play before it gets as dark as it was in the vid. Also, normally, we'd be in a much larger area, for optimal hiding to occur. Still, a good time was had. And, of course, I'm calling it a workout for that day!
Enjoy! (^.^)v

There might be a thing or two to say about this workout. I'll just keep it simple, though. Enjoy the vid! (^.^)v

Well, here we are again. Plugging away at the Insanity program!
Yes, Recovery Week is over. I enjoyed it! But, I've missed the routine of the more intense workouts. No doubt, this second month of Insanity will not disappoint. In fact, I hope I make it through!
I've heard stories. They aren't pretty.
And so, here's the video of the FitTest that I'm to do every couple of weeks. I think I must have missed one! In any case, in the video are the stats of one of the FitTests I did early on with today's stats. Not much improvement was seen. Perhaps, it's because I was in fairly decent shape to begin with. Or maybe I'd better get a move on!
Today was an emotional one. Doubts were filling my head that I'll ever finish this program. And even if I do finish, will I be in good shape? Somehow I pushed through the excuses and exhaustion. It's difficult to give yourself a pep talk, sometimes, when you're working out alone. I recommend finding a group to workout with. Seriously. Or talk to me. :) We can help each other! I mean that. Just some words of encouragement are great.
Enjoy the video! (^.^)v

In this, the 15th installment of FitVlog, you'll see a little sample of one of the most challenging Beachbody workouts I've done so far. You might not be able to tell from my pitiful attempt at doing this program, but it is TOUGH!
So what is Insanity?
Let me tell you a little about it. First, it's a 60 day program of intense cardio. The workouts are about 40-60 minutes long, depending on where you are on the schedule. Did I mention the cardio is intense? The exercises are designed to work your whole body. Trust me, you'll feel it! The warm-up alone is just as difficult as the entire workout. It's about 10 minutes long. I've yet to make it all the way through the warm-up without stopping. (O.o)
Stay tuned to see more videos of me attempting to complete each workout. It's only going to take me a couple of months. We'll see how it goes!
Oh! If you're curious about Insanity and want to try it for yourself, check out my page here: http://beachbodycoach.com/sdchan

Also, if you have any questions or comments, send me a message. I'd love to hear from you! :)
Okay, as for the rest of what I'm doing to get myself back into some kind of shape...
The diet. It needs a little tweak.
Yes, I'm a vegetarian. But, that doesn't mean I'm fit and healthy. You can be a vegetarian and still nosh on cookies, crackers and candy. And if you do that, like I have been, you're probably not going to be at your healthiest.
Healthy alternatives?
My plan is to stock up on the fruit and veggies. I don't plan on being a raw vegan, however. The reason is, it's just too expensive! And good fruit is hard to come by. Instead, I'll incorporate some cooked rice, pasta and potatoes. Also, I'll avoid having fats, dairy and too much salt. All of these goodies will be enough to keep me full and energized. Yep, no shortage of carbs for me. I look forward to feeling even better than ever!
I hope my experience inspires and motivates you to take charge of your own health. Eat better and move!
Take care out there! (^.^)v
Not too long ago, a viewer asked how to make a GIF with images that fade into one another. I think I've addressed it in this video. Though I'm sure there are a few more ways the same result can be achieved. It's been a while since I've made a fading GIF, so I may be a tad rusty. In any case, I hope someone finds this tutorial useful.
As for the length of time it has taken me to post a video or to blog about anything at all . . .
Well, it's been one interesting start of a year, let's say!
I had high hopes this year. With plans to start some new projects early on. Sadly, illness and a few other surprises have put a kink in my scheme and knocked me off path. (~.~)
No worries. Back on track I go.
In the works are videos about the crazy workout I just started. ~Oh my!~ Yes, I finished TurboFire and loved it. I was on my 2nd or 3rd? round of it, when I decided to mix it up a bit.
The new workout is called Insanity. Did I say this already? Its name is quite fitting. 'Cause you pretty much have to be CRAZY to do this workout! Which, I suppose, suits me fine. ha! Now, if you think you're up for the challenge, you can find Insanity through my website: www.beachbodycoach.com/SDCHAN
Browse my page, click on the Shop and find it there or just click this graphic!
Pretty much, I dare you! hahaha!
Just kiddin'. I wouldn't want to be responsible for anyone getting hurt. That being said, here's my Disclaimer:
If you should try any workout program that I recommend on this site, do so at your own risk! I should probably add, see a doctor before doing the programs I mention on this site. Make sure you can handle it. Especially, Insanity. Holy cow!
More on this at a later date.
Okay, I'll move on.
I also hope to do more videos about the simple jewelry I've made. It seems many of you are interested in how to make your own. I'll be sure to put a few more jewelry tutorials out there.
Oh! And animation tutorials! I can't forget those, because they are some of my favorite. Those videos are also the most time-consuming. I'll do my best!
It's going to be a busy year. Let's all make it a great one! \(^.^)/
