Insanity- Week 4 Day 5

One more day until I'm done week 4 & more importantly...MONTH 1!!!!  I can't believe it!!  It went really fast & I'm so excited at how far I've come!!  Today was pure cardio & cardio abs.  I didn't get home early enough to workout before dinner so I waited until I digested a bit & worked out after I ate.  Bad idea!!  I just don't feel like I can give it as much as when I workout before dinner.  So from now on I'm going to have to get it in before dinner.  Since I'll be done working in a few weeks that shouldn't be a problem!!  And since next week is recovery week I'm hoping that will help, too.

Today was the first day I tried my new heart rate monitor, too.  The only thing I'm not liking is that I can't get the monitor to give me a reading every time.  I had to pause my workout a few times to get the reading!!  And I'm sure my heart rate came down a bit while waiting, too.  Oh well, it gave me an idea.  It said 311 calories burned with pure cardio & 131 with cardio abs.  Sounds a bit low, but it also had my heart rate staying around 130.  It's usually higher!  We'll see how it goes tomorrow with...PLYO!

So, how ironic that the one last workout I need to get through to officially finish month 1 is plyo!!  I am ready for the challenge!!  Looking forward to wrapping up my first month of Insanity, getting through the recovery week & then jumping head first into month 2!!

I definitely have a long way to go in terms of getting my body in the shape I'm hoping for.  But I am feeling stronger & I'm getting through a lot of the exercises better than when I first started!!  Time to keep pushing play & keep digging deeper!!!!
