Insanity- Week 4 Day 2

Wow, what a difference a day makes!!  Warmer temps & more food in my belly & I was feeling goooood!!  It was the perfect day to go for a run (about 60 degrees!!), but I had my daily date with Shaun so I had to stay inside to get Insane.  But no complaining here!!  I also tried to eat more & I'm hoping that helps make a difference.  I didn't make the best choice at lunch today, but I ate & fueled my body so I won't beat myself up.  I had a fried chicken wrap with ranch dressing (on a whole wheat wrap).  I know I should have gone for the grilled chicken but I really wanted the fried & I ate the whole thing so I had energy & really pushed myself today!!  I'm going to IHOP for dinner tonight so this won't be the best day for eating, but I'm going to be good & just eat my 3 pancakes & I'll prob add an egg white veggie omelette so that's not too bad!!

The workout went really well today & I was ready to dig deep!!  I think it might have been one of my better workouts to date.  I wasn't totally dripping sweat, but my body was damp & my heartrate was up!!  I also realized I didn't have to take quite as many breaks!!  I tried to continue to focus on my form & really keep my abs in.  I like looking in my mirror to see what my core is doing 'cause I want it flat baby!!!!  :)

I tried out my new floor mat today, too.  It's an interlocking foam mat that's really made for putting under exercise equipment, but I didn't realize that at the time.  I still think it can be used as a workout mat.  I used it backwards with the bottom facing up 'cause it was a smooth surface, but I found it moved around a lot.  When I went to the floor for push-ups at one point the whole mat moved & that freaked me out 'cause I didn't quite have my balance.  I don't want to hurt my shoulder again!!!!  So next time I'll try it right-side up & see if that's any better.  It probably won't slip around as much, but I don't know if the pattern will hurt my hands?  We'll see...

I am loving how my flexibility seems to be getting better, too.  My hands can go flat to the ground while stretching out my hammies & boy does it feel good!!

Week 4 is on its way & I'm feeling soooo much better than I did yesterday!!  I really think the nicer weather will do wonders for my mood.  And in turn that means I can put more into my workouts!!  Nothing like a little sunshine to brighten your day!!
