I don't Know About Another 8 Weeks

Oh My Pound Cake!!!! I made it through week 1 of Insanity. I really can't believe I'm still living after how much breath I lost this week. It was hard y'all. I mentioned in the last post that I wasn't a newbie to working out, but for the past 5 months, I have maybe worked out for a total of 2 weeks (about an hour or so a day). That was not enough to just dive into Insanity.

Day 2 and Day 6 have the same workout and I can tell it's working. On Day 2, I split plyometrics into 2 separate workouts. I rested on Day 6 because of the election (Day 7 is supposed to be rest) and I just finished the whole plyometrics workout.  Now don't get me wrong, I stop every now and then to catch my breath, but I'm definitely digging dipper. I'm not being funny about this next statement. I have legitimately never seen an African American turn bright red and certainly not me...even when I was working our 5 days a week for 2 hours each day. I went to shower after my workout and I though I was bleeding I was so red...maybe not bleeding, but it was so apparent it freaked me out a little. I worked my tail off tonight and I'm proud for getting all the way through it.

There are a few workouts that I can't completely do like getting in the plank position and jump up to a squat (repeat, repeat, repeat), so I have to edit so that I'm still do heavy cardio without hurting myself. I hope to one day be able to complete them all exactly like Shawn T, but if not it's cool. My plan is to lose some lbs and I've done that with a lot less so I have high hopes.

I joined www.teambeachbody.com tonight because I am getting a little discouraged because I dread doing these workouts. I believe they work, but unlike working out at the gym, I don't like this. Hopefully, I'll keep myself more accountable by being a member. We;ll see.

Well, I guess that's it for tonight.

Happy Health!
