The end of Insanity & Beginning of weight lifting

This week is my last week of the insanity program. It has been a great experience and I'm pretty sure I'm going to just start it over from day one next week. Although I didn't have great results this time around(from eating so poorly) I feel like round two will be much better!!

Last week I started a weight lifting program for the first time. It entails 3 days of training, 2 days of cardio, and 2 active rest days.
Here is a link to the program:

After leg day last week I was so sore I could barely walk for a couple days so I'm a little behind but plan on getting caught up this week!!

Weekend was a little off course for the food plan but I got myself back in gear today. I've decided that writing down my entire schedule for the day with a food plan really helps

First Post & A Little About Me!!

Welcome!!!

As my first post I thought I would start by sharing a little about myself. My name is Nicole Robertson and I'm a 22 year old from North Dakota. When I was in high school I was never fat. It wasn't till I got to college that I started to gain weight. My first semester as a freshman I put on about 21 pounds. However, my second semester I lost all the weight and then some and was by far in the best shape of my life. After that things kind of went downhill with my weight and I kind of blew up. Ever since then I have been in a constant battle of losing and gaining and losing and gaining with it always ending up with more gaining in the end.

Needless to say I'm sick of playing the up and down game. I have tried every diet out there: 3 day military diet, 17 day diet, Medifast, Weight Watchers and more. Recently I have become interested in this whole concept of clean eating. It will definitely be a challenge as I am a fast food/out to eat addict. Nothing sounds as good for dinner as mozzarella sticks!! But people seem to be having the most amazing results when they change their lifestyle to clean eating and lifting weights.

So this will be my journey. The ups and downs of trying to eat clean and work my ass off in the gym. As I try to lose the little over 50 pounds I have put on since my freshman year of college.
