Insanity- Week 9 Day 6- DAY 62!!!!

ONE...MORE...DAY!!!!  ROUND 1 INSANITY DONE!!!!  Final fit test tomorrow to come full circle & then I can rest for a few weeks & let my body fully recover from all the madness!!  I'll post my final fit test results tomorrow!  I did it, I really did it!!  Thank you Shaun Thompson from the bottom of my heart for all you have done for me!!  I'll be back for more & can't wait to enter the Asylum!!  ♥

I can't believe I have completed Insanity!!  Like the infomercial says "you will feel great knowing you accomplished something most people will never attempt to try".  Ain't that the truth!!  Not everyone can do Insanity!  It is the toughest thing I have ever done, but it was so addicting & fun & Shaun makes you want to keep going.  I pushed myself to places I have never gone before, and the funny thing is, I know I can push further!!  I want more & better results from my body so I will rest at least two weeks & then start some more Insanity while waiting for TurboFire to come out.  Then I will do that & try to work in some Insanity as well.  Can't totally give up my Shaun T!!  LOL  Then I will hopefully have my body ready for the Asylum when that comes out!!

I was a little emotional this morning.  I was so addicted that I flipped around until I found the Insanity infomercial.  I knew it was on & kept saying "I know it's on here somewhere".  Then I found it.  LOL  I got a little choked up when the people in the infomercial were talking about their success.  I've watched it several times before, but since I am at the end I could relate to what they were saying.  Sure, I don't look like they do, but I followed through with the whole program & gave it all I could the whole time!!  Their stories really touched me & I realized just how much this one man, Shaun T, has changed my life!!  I think I might actually be addicted to working out now.  Wow!!  Sure a lot of days it's a struggle to get it in, but I know how much better I feel after it's done!  And on the other hand, I know how lousy I feel if I don't work out!!  I hope to hold on to this feeling & keep moving forward & making exercise a part of my every day!!  I'm going to incorporate several Beachbody programs in the coming months & I hope to also get back into a more structured running schedule!!

Final fit test results will be posted tomorrow & I will be taking my final after shots!!  Then I can send in for my t-shirt!!!!  :)

Insanity- Week 9 Day 2

Ugh, why do I feel like I'm going backwards??  Instead of wrapping up round 1 great & strong I am feeling like I'm worse off than when I began!  I've now had trouble getting through my workouts the last two days.  Yesterday it was max plyo & today it was max cardio conditioning & insane abs!!  Almost cried during all of them!!  I'm getting a little frustrated!  I'm nowhere near where I wanted, or thought, I'd be.  Humph.  I'm going to keep pushing forward & even do another round, but I just wanna know what's going on with me!!

Not happy...

Insanity- Week 8 Day 3

Dear Shaun,

I'm sorry, I just didn't have "it" in me today to push as hard as I normally do!  I was happy to have MCC today, but for some reason I felt like a ton of bricks.  My legs felt extremely fatigued & I just couldn't "dig deep" for you.  I am upset with myself!  Of course I pushed through & not only did MCC but also tried Insane Abs for the first time!  I just took a lot more breaks than usual!

Insane Abs is just that...INSANE!!  What the heck were you thinking when you created that??  Sheesh!!  I could barely do any of the floor exercises, but I tried my best.  I actually felt like I got a little energy back by the time I started that.  I went right into it rather than taking a break.  I figured if I was already spent from MCC I wouldn't get any more energy by waiting!

I have decided to start logging my calories & exercise again at the Daily Plate to see if I'm eating enough/too much, etc...  I'll try to see if I'm not eating enough plus keep track of WHAT I'm eating as well.  Today  I ate almost 1100 calories before working out, and I burned 795.  DINNERTIME!!  :)

I promise to try harder tomorrow & I won't let you down!  I can see the finish line & I'm going to sprint across it, not crawl!!  Tomorrow is recovery so I expect to BRING IT!!

Love always,

KJ ♥
