Pure Cardio.... Eeeeeeek!

Yesterday was like a little slice of heaven! Thank you Shaun T for giving us a cardio reconvery day! It was very much needed/deserved! Though I still feel pain, in my legs especially, I am ready for another day of hell... I am going to keep pushing myself because it has to get better! I'm not gonig to sugar coat this program... I am struggling! It is VERY hard, and I am in pretty resasonable shape... Don't worry Shaun T; I'm digging as deep as I can! :)

And I’m smilin cause I love it! - Shaun T

Cardio Recovery Day! I don't want to get my hopes up too much about a workout called Cardio Recovery because I'm sure it will still be a workout... However, I am very much looking forward to a break from intense cardio... I'm tired and it's only day 4! Whew-

Those Who Support Me Motivate Me; Those Who Don't Motivate Me Even More!!

I don't do anything half ass... I have come way to far to sell myself short of what I can accomplish... I believe this will be my greatest enemy in the Insanity program... I am going to push, push, push and then crash! I know because I felt this happening yesterday... My legs feel like Jello today because of it... My knees are extra sore and I definitely had a serving of ibuprofen with my dinner last night! I have to try to remember that pacing myself is important because I do not want an injury! I want to get in the best shape of my life and based on the sweat I've been feeling with Insanity it's gonna happen! Diggin Deeper!!

Insanity Brown Rice Bowl

2 c cooked brown rice 2 oz. grilled chicken breast, diced 1/3 c corn kernels 1/3 cooked peas

Combine the rice, chicken, corn and peas.

This quote pretty much sums it up for me today. It is going to be mind of matter to complete Insanity... I know it's going to be one of the hardest things I've ever done but I am pumped to get started! Today will be my first full workout of the program.... On the agenda? Plyometric Cardio Circuit... I loved Plyo from P90X So I am intrigued to see what it's like intensified times ten... Should be a great sweat!! After the workout thoughts to come... Assuming I survive! :)

HOLY COW!!! I had no idea Insanity was going to be that insane!! The Plyometric Cardio Circuit honestly made me want to cry! LOL! I would NOT recommend this program to anyone who is not already in decent shape!! And I would also like to state for the record that this was the HARDEST workout I have ever done! Sorry Tony... You know I love ya, but Shaun T is on a totally different level... I was literally POURING sweat in the warm-up... Yes, I said the warm-up!!!

"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end."

Time to begin my second goal for 2011.... Wow! Time sure is flying... :) I've been reading a lot of information on what to expect from the Insanity workouts today and I must admit it's got me a bit freaked out.... Eeeeek! I am now asking myself why am I doing this before it's even started... lol... I'm excited for a new adventure though honestly and that which does not kill us will only make us stronger... right?!?! Day 1 of this program is the "fit test" which is pretty much self-explanatory... I do hope I won't struggle too much this since I just did 90 days of P90X... Fingers crossed anyway... The breakdown of the fit test goes like so:

Switch Kicks-Power Jacks-Power Knees-Power Jumps-Globe Jumps-Suicide Jumps-Push Up Jacks-Lower Plank Oblique

Oh Lord pleaseeeee let me survive all those power moves! LOL... I'm so very anxious to see how in shape I actually am... And terrified at the same time because I know this workout program is going to make P90X look like child's play... BRING IT! (Am I still allowed to say that even though I'm not currently doing P90X? I think so since I'm a grad and all... lol)

And the results are in.... Can't wait to see the difference in day 1 and day 60!!!!

-Switch Kicks - 100

-Power Jacks - 50

-Power Knees - 90

-Power Jumps - 30

-Globe Jumps - 9

-Suicide Jumps - 12

-Push Up Jacks  - 25

-Lower Plank Oblique - 50

And That's A Wrap!!!

I was so caught up in the excitement of actually completing my last workout that I forgot to do a post on here yesterday... I'm DONE!! Still so hard to believe... I had my final workout yesterday and then went to a celebration dinner at a Japanese Steakhouse.... YUM!!!!!! I was very nice to celebrate such a huge accomplishment! Now I am going to take the weekend to relax and start fresh on Monday with Insanity... Gotta dig deeper for that program! I'm ready! I also have to take my after pictures today! I'm excited to see the difference in the before and after pics! Hope everyone has a great weekend and I'll be back on Monday to start my Insanity blogging!!!
