Unfortunately….

I will be quitting the Insanity program. Considering the physical demands of my current job and my weightlifting routine, I’m losing too much weight. It would be a completely different scenario if I were able to rest a full 8 hours a night AND take in 4,000 to 4,500 calories in a day, but it’s not. In short, the program was a complete success, however, I don’t like stepping on a scale and seeing I’m only 174.5lbs. I started this program at 206 but only wanted to move down to a trimmer 197-199 mark. I am getting leaner, but I’m beginning to lose strength when it comes time during the week to lift heavy. Maybe I’ll revisit this program when/if I change jobs. I also hate the fact that I’m getting tossed around the basketball court since losing all of this weight. Something that should also be worth mentioning is my body fat measurement prior to Insanity, it was a 8.1%. I have no clue where it is now, but my guess is somewhere near 6% if not a little lower now. My stamina has improved dramatically, but I’m not sure if it’s worth it if I’m content with how I physically feel or look at the moment.
