Vegan Eating and Insanity Workouts: 2 Weeks In

So I've just began second week of Insanity, third week of eating Vegan. Staying consistent with my workouts and clean eating is paying off. I've lost a whopping 16 pounds since the 5th of January, 3.6% of body fat, and a total of 11ish inches from various body parts, but namely my waist (YAY!). I am still extending the breaks between intervals (and adding breaks every three exercises to the 'Pure Cardio' workout, yikes!), but I've noticed my heart rate gets back to a reasonable place in a shorter about of time now. I was able to do the Fit Test without even extending the break, which is a marvel. I'm able to hold a plank much longer and can almost make it through the majority of the high intensity exercises for the duration of the interval, with exception to the "ski abs" and "in and out abs", torture on my arms after the level 1 drills. I still drop to my knees for some of the pushup sets. But I've been jumping and squatting with more ease, and overall I feel excellent. My progress on each exercise and with my measurements are on the tables below.



 I was hesitant about posting these cause, well, you know, but I decided to go ahead and do it anyway. All the more motivation. Don't laugh.
