This blog is a little late (by a couple of days at least) but I've made it through week 3!
Almost.
Why almost, you ask? This girl didn't do her workout on Thursday and failed to make it up yesterday. And with doing both Cardio Abs and Pure Cardio today (as well as going swimming and hanging out with friends), it just wasn't going to happen. I thought a little bit about this and I realized that if I would've skipped going to the gym or doing a workout a few months back, I wouldn't have cared. I would know that the gym would still be there when I felt like going again. But with missing the last day of Week 3, I'm feeling a little disappointed in myself or bummed out that I missed a workout. Granted, I worked late Thursday night and I made last minute plans with Friday. Part of me feels there just wasn't a good excuse. However, I know next week will be better...it's week 4 and the halfway point. WOOT!
In comparing this past week to my week 3 (especially doing Pure Cardio today), it was a lot easier! Today I kept pushing myself to not give up...to take a 5-10 second break and then get right back into it. I'm not getting out of breath as quickly AND my body isn't sore after workouts! I haven't seen a major change yet with clothes and weight (probably because I haven't been as exact with the nutrition portion) but I feel the difference. I feel leaner and toned, especially in the arms and legs...stomach area is slowly making it. And I have more energy. So if I can have these type of results in just month 1, I'm really excited to see what's going to happen in month 2. Wish me luck and everybody out there who's doing this, keep pushing play and digging deep!!!
PS-Favorite new quote from Shawn T. "Why do I keep doing this? Because I look good!" TOTALLY agree!
haha, its totally true, before I did INSANITY I'd go a week without going to the gym and just be like "oh well, I'll go next Saturday" I missed one workout this month too (Sunday of week 3) (I kinda made it up, I skipped 1/2 of it and did the hard part). But I too noticed the total change in attitude, i was so disappointed in myself and felt like i was "bad". We are doing so well, I am kinda scared for month 2! I also heard that "recovery week" is not as easy as you would hope, its still kind hard, but not as much high impact, slow controlled movements.
