Sick today so no Insanity workout. Feel like crap. Hopefully I can get back on the Insanity program and do day 40 tomorrow.

Holding at day 40.

I felt a lot better today. My body is slowing adapting to these more intense workouts. My back still felt a little stiff, and my legs were a little sore, but for the first time since I started the second month, I didn't feel like an old man.

So far this first week of the second month of Insanity is feeling like the first week of the program: body aching, moving around like an old man, dreading the next workout as form of cruel and unusual punishment. It is a week like this that makes me wonder whether I really do enjoy being sore all over all day long.

I haven't dreaded a workout day outside of week 1 on Insanity more than I did today. Yesterday's Max Interval Circuit really kicked my butt. I spent all day today walking around like an old man. At least I wasn't limping around like I did on the first week. I'm going to consider that a good thing. It's all about the little victories, right?

Today was the beginning of the last month of my Insanity adventure, and what a way to begin this last month. Today's workouts were The Fit Test and Max Interval Circuit. First let me go through my Fit Test results.

Today is a Rest Day from Recovery Week. Nicole is visiting so it will be a diet cheat weekend. Back to the Insanity grind on Sunday, and back to the diet on Monday night or Tuesday.

35 days down. 4 more weeks to go.

This is hopefully going to be a short post today. *hears cyber rejoicing from my tens of readers*Today was the final day of my Recovery Week and as such was the final day of Core Cardio and Balance. I think I performed Core Cardio and Balance better today than any day this week, which makes sense if you think about it. I was even able to last ( Read more... )

I really wanted to skip this morning's workout. A couple of excuses ran through my head: I didn't get as much sleep; I don't want to be late to work; I want to leave work early to go to Downey so I would need to get to work early; my back hurts; I have no energy. Eventually, I realized these were just excuses and I should just go ahead and work out ( Read more... )

I think working out in the morning is messing up my sleeping pattern, and I'm not just talking about waking up earlier. Today I experienced what I can only describe as the preemptive snooze. I think I was anxious to get done with my sleep so that I can get the latest installment of Core Cardio and Balance out of the way. So with this anxiety, I ( Read more... )

I know I've said this before, but morning workouts are so much different from evening workouts. For one, I have more energy on evening workouts. For another, I don't have to worry about making so much noise jumping around with the evening workouts. With plans of having to do stuff like cleaning my apartment in time for Nicole's visit and going to ( Read more... )
