Max Insanity, Fit Test, and Back Pain

We started the "max" half of the Insanity workouts and I'm all like:

 

And Shaun T.'s all:

So, the moral of the story is:

I (mostly) improved all of my numbers on my last fit test. Then I got dizzy from exertion and lack of nutrition  and had to get horizontal for a little while, but! Numbers!

Aaand my doctor thinks I have a "lumbar strain" which means a whole lot of me sounding like an old person every time I bend over, sit down, or get up.  I was prescribed Flexeril and nice, hot baths, but he also encouraged me to keep working out.  He also mentioned I look happier. :D

Let's hope this back pain figures out it's got to go somewhere.

Month 4 Results

Less focus on the step count this month, more on the Insanity workouts.  I definitely feel it.  I feel stronger and more capable.  I also feel less crampy during menstruation, which if that is a direct effect of Insanity, I will do FOREVER.  Anyway, numbers:

 

Start Weight: 226.4 lbs.

End Weight: 222.9 lbs.

Change: -3.5 lbs.

 

Start Body Fat: 45.8%

End Body Fat: 44.4%

Change: -1.4%

Slimming down in the middle.  I could afford to eat better and get more steps.  Let's see what I can do in Month 5!
