INSANITY...two days later! OUCH!!!!

Happy Hump Wednesday St. Patrick's Day...no wait, that didn't sound right. Hehehehe!

Crap! What the hell was I thinking??? Shaun T wants to KILL me!!!!!!!

So I did the Fit Test for Insanity, which consists of a set of 8 different moves which you will "test" yourself on every 2 weeks:

  • Switch Kicks - I did 109
  • Power Jacks - 29
  • Power Knees - 75
  • Power Jumps - 20
  • Globe Jumps - 5
  • Suicide Jumps - 4
  • Push-Up Jacks - 17 (I did regular push-ups...hahaha)
  • Low Plank Oblique - 5
As you can see by the numbers, I was pretty much dead after the 4th exercise. I can't do push-ups on my toes, let alone do a "jack", so I just did regular ones. My office/workout-stuff (can't really call it an exercise room yet, still have some moving boxes to put away) is upstairs, so after my workout (which is 30 mins, BUT each fit test section was only A MINUTE, so technically I bounced around for 8 minutes, give or take?????) I had to walk down the stairs. DAMN it hurt!!!!! My thighs and my back were hurting! What the...!!! Then on top of that, my Dad and Mom kept bugging me to hurry up 'cause I had to DRIVE all the way to Pearl Harbor Garden shop to buy a new patio umbrella and a bag of potting soil. Crap!!!

Needless to say, I was in pain after all that...so I didn't get to workout yesterday and I am still sore today! Ow!!! But I've managed to bear through the pain without taking any Tylenol or Ibuprofen. Blah!!! I think I can only do Insanity 3x a week. I'm planning on alternating with Turbo Jam, Chalean Extreme (Circuit Training), and some other vids I have.

Today I managed to do Turbo Jam Live - Cardio Party Remix. Only 1/2 hour or so, but I always try to bust my ass even in the short amount of time. It is still difficult to get a workout in during Mom's dialysis days, but I promised myself to do something tomorrow; perhaps I'll do some circuit training before eating dinner. :)

Proud to say I passed up butter mochi, chocolate mochi and fresh choco chip cookies at work today. Also managed to go without eating sunflower seeds (I am seriously an addict) for 4 days now. Went to Costco to buy my 2 weeks worth of work meals, actually stood in line wanting to buy a berry smoothie or mocha latte, but changed my mind before it was my turn to order. Sometimes you have to stop and think "why" you want to eat/drink certain things before you actually eat them. "Why" should I drink this smoothie when we're already going home to eat dinner? :)

I'll try Shaun T again on Friday or Saturday. I GOTTA do this!!!!
