3 Weeks Left and A Setback

Last Thursday, I was really excited because I finished week 1 of the second month and I was in the downhill stretch with Insanity. WOOT WOOT!  So I decided to workout while I went home to Illinois for the weekend and did the Max Cardio Circuit on Saturday on a concrete floor, when I've been doing it on carpet this entire time. 

Bad idea. That downhill stretch turned in to me tripping over my feet and falling face first into the ground.

I now not only have one pulled muscle but two pulled muscles.  And both are on my back, perpendicular to one another (not fun to have this issue when you're driving or looking down.)  Needless to say, I'm having to take a temporary break from Insanity.  I went to the doctor today and he said that I needed to take it easy for the next few days.  Then, I could do some light stretching.  My guess is that I won't be able to get back into it for another week or two.  I was looking forward to being able to complete this the week after my birthday so this has been somewhat of a downer for me.  But hopefully I will be back and in it soon.  Positive side is that I have an extra hour in the evenings now.  Here's to a quick recovery!!!



Sorry, crazy lady, but sometimes it's okay to quit...so don't try to be macho and push yourself through potential long-term pain.  That's just crazy.

  1. Oh no!! Stay strong and keep motivated, and take care of yourself! That;s most important! It's ok, if you see my post I too suffered a set back this week and had to re-do week 1.. so I'm behind too! We will finish it no matter how long it takes!
