INSANITY | Day 1

The "Freshman 15" is REAL, and it is unforgiving. Being a fairly active teen in high school, weight was never a problem for me. I arrived at college a 5'2" 109 lb happy 18 year old, and now as a 2nd semester sophomore: I'm pushing 130. It may not seem like a big deal, but it's put a rather large damper on my self-esteem.

I'm no gym-goer, I never was, I don't think I ever will be. I've tried to go to the free gym here at school, but the judgmental stares and snickers at my lack of finesse and endurance forced that plan to take a back seat. I thought of what else I could do to get the same effects without actually going to the gym. I tried several Pinterest workouts, but not one stuck with me and I felt like I never got any results.

Today, my roommates decided to go to the gym after breakfast, I knew I needed to and probably should have gone with them, but instead I decided to stick with my daily routine of laying in bed and watching Workaholics. Shortly after, something finally hit me and I looked into Insanity.

Day 1 complete, I realized how out of shape I am, and I'm honestly in complete embarrassment. I chose this 90-day (hopefully longer) plan simply for convenience - it's only 30 minutes - and I can do it in the privacy of my dorm room, no judgment. I also like the idea of a daily plan and routine, so I'll feel especially guilty if I don't follow through every day.

I've taken some pictures to hopefully show my progress each week:
