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!

Day Four

It's day 4 for me and I'm struggling. I have been doing my workouts super late at night...Mainly because I dread it all day. I'm going to have to change up the time because it's now midnight and I had to force myself to put on workout clothes 5 minutes ago and am now doing everything I can think of to not start working out.

It's awful. I'm not in the best of shape by any means (no health problems though), but I'm no newbie to working out. Even still, I'm not just exhausted when I finish, I feel like...IO don't even know what I feel like, but it's not good. I had to split plyometric (day 1) into 2 parts because I was so tired halfway through. Last night, I just knew I would vomit (sorry if TMI), but luckily I didn't. I can however tell I'm getting in a groove because I'm stopping less often and don't feel like total garbage at the end.

I find myself looking in mirrors hoping by the mercy of God and Shawn T that I look different somewhere because it sure as heck makes me feel like I should feel different.

Well, Here goes nothing...Pure Cardio, I plan to bring it and I know you do too.
