Eeep!

So, it's been almost a WEEK since I last did insanity. Birthday festivities got in the way, and instead of trying to work insanity into my schedule, I decided to splurge and eat/drink whatever I wanted on my 25th. NOT the best idea at ALL, but it's over and I'm restarting week 2 tomorrow. Cardio power resistance. UGH. I hate it, but I love how I feel afterwards, so it's worth it.

Tomorrow the plan is to get up early and workout before getting ready for auditions, so I've got to get myself to bed!

insanity day 5?

I did tonight what was supposed to be Saturday's workout. DEATH. Harder the second time.

Felt so unmotivated today. But finally doing the workout at 11pm made me excited to do tomorrow. Glad I just did it anyway even though I didn't feel like it. Knee hurts a little bit, will try to take it easier (relatively) tomorrow.

Insanity Day 4 + weekend

Eeep, haven't posted!

I did day 4, the pure cardio on Friday, which was AWFUL. It's cardio, alright, my heart rate was through the roof!

Took off Saturday AND today, and I really am only allowed to take off one day...ugh. Went out to NJ, which screws up my schedule a little bit. Oh well, I still worked out 4 days this week, plus a 3.5 mile walk. So, I'm doing pretty good. Back to the regular routine tomorrow.

Workin it out! Keep chuggin!

insanity day 3

today was the "cardio recovery" day, which was a lot of stretching, balancing, and slow excruciating squats/lunges. but only 30 minutes! Still sweating, even though I didn't get my heart rate up as high as the regular cardio vids do. which is AOK by me :)

going to shower, and meet up with a friend and walk the high line! a mile long above ground walking path/garden/awesomeness that starts in the west village and ends up in midtown.

today started out bad (totally lazy and unmotivated and self loathing), but I still managed to get up and do insanity, which really has put me in a better mood to take on the rest of the day. I need to get in the habit of doing it in the morning, that way I feel this awesome all day long!

walking

So no insanity today, which is okay, i planned to take off 2 days a week max. there's 1. hoping to go the rest of the week with it, but taking 1 day at a time. had a GREAT audition today, so I was feelin good!

Walked in and around central park with my handsome and talented friend Sean. Gabbed about life over veggie falafels. A perfect activity on a perfectly sunny day.

Excited for tomorrow!

Insanity Day 2

Cardio Power Resistance today. And boy did I resist doing cardio power...punny..

Lots more push-up type exercises, which I loathe. Each circuit of exercises are done 3 times, and there are multiple circuits, and by the 3rd time around of the last 2 circuit things, I was TIRED. My muscles are sore from yesterday, especially my calves from all that jumping, so I didn't work as hard as I did yesterday, but I still worked hard. Yes run-ons. 45 minutes went quickly today, let's hope it continues to do so :-P

Going to babysit my cousin in bkln tonight. Yay! I love that little stinker.

Insanity?

So, I decided to start Insanity. Just to try it.

HOLY DEATH.

I did the Plyo-Cardio thing. Well, I tried. I was dying. 45 minutes of absolute madness. But I made it all the way through! I had to modify some of the jumps and squats for my knee, not quite as high impact, but I did all the running and upper body stuff. I haven't sworn that much in a long time.

Feelin good, we'll see if I want to do this for 60 days...let's just agree that today was a success and I may or may not do it tomorrow.

Day off today, pretty busy the rest of the week. Let's go!
