I have officially completed 5 entire weeks of Insanity! And, it seems like every Sunday, I get the Shaun T Blues. MEANING: I want there to be an Insanity workout on Sunday, the “rest” day. One of the main reasons I want to work out on Sunday is because it’s the day before my Weigh Days and I don’t want a day of inactivity to affect the outcome on the scale. Another reason is because I feel kinda lazy on my rest days. I feel like I should be doing more.
The only reason why I am not doing a work out on Sunday though, is because I do want my muscles to rest. I need a day of muscle rejuvenation in order to successfully complete the week that lies ahead. (I’ve heard that it is important to give your muscles a day off, so it would be silly of me to try to work them too hard.) I guess I don’t miss Shaun T that much.
As said above, Sundays are my lazy days. That goes for more than just exercise as well. These last few weeks, I’ve not been taking in as much water as I want to. (Only on Sundays though.) My daily goal is to drink at least 64 ounces of water per day. (That is the average recommended intake.) Monday through Friday, I have no problem. I drink 32 ounces while working out and the latter part of the day I drink another 32 ounces. Since PJ and I wake up later on Sundays, I’ve only been taking in 32 ounces during my night shifts at work. So, in an effort to correct this problem, I got up today and headed straight for my water cup (complete with a straw!). I sipped on it a little bit and then got ready for work. Before I went to work, I sat in our new pappasan chair and drank the rest of it while texting a friend. (With my handy dandy straw, I don’t have to “come up” for air like with a traditional water bottle. Within minutes, I had my first 32 ounces for the day down and ready for the second.) I think this is how I will do it from now on.
So, who’s ready for “Max” Insanity!? This girl!! I previewed a little bit of it the other night while transferring the files to PJ’s computer and I’m kinda scared, but READY! Hopefully, I don’t go away from it tomorrow wanting to throw up (because that feeling while being all hot and sweaty is one of the worst feelings!!) Have you ever worked out so hard that you just wanted to throw up…or actually did?! I’ve only wanted to throw up twice since starting P90X. I think the first time was the first Plyometrics workout and the second was just the other day with Core Cardio and Balance. The second time may have been because I started in a very cold environment, so much so that I was actually shivering before the workout. And, then I got all sweaty and kinda sick feeling but nothing ever came of it. (Thankfully.)
Well, I suppose that’s all for today. Tomorrow is Weigh Day and Progress Check #2, plus a Max Insanity Workout. (I can’t say that I’m excited about doing both the Fit Test AND a “Max” workout, but I will survive!!) Until Tomorrow!
Signing Out,
It’s Possible!!
