I began this workout called Insanity
on Sunday November 10, and I read online that it's a good idea to keep
a blog. I did however have a journal anyway to record every day's
workout, and I decided to post them online on a weekly basis. It's a
"If I don't get to post the whole thing everyday, THEY'LL KNOW" sort of
thing. So something like a boost. Eh. We'll see how far I get.
Day 1: Horrible pain. I actually started at 3 AM on Day 2 but I'm considering it Day 1. I had horrible cramps but it subsided before I started. I sweat like crazy. I had to stop midway and grab some water. My head hurts a bit. My shirt is soaked. I wasn't wearing soaks and shoes, I was doing it in one of the rooms at home. My head hurts ugh. It's emotional. It makes you feel like shit but also motivates you to break through. Thinking of results of the last day. I WANT this.
Day 2: I enjoyed the exercises today. I couldn't keep up AT ALL. I was shocked. At some point, I felt like I was going to be sick. It's like the saying "you are what you eat" took a literal turn. I sweat a lot, and switched on the AC, and I still sweat, which is could; just means it wasn't just hot. I did today at home again at Day 3 around 2 AM. I'm hoping to get the next day earlier on, at the gym preferably. Need to lift some weights. I also noticed that I gained 2 kilos since I first started gym-ing, which is like in Septemeber. It's alright, I bought some goodies to watch what I eat. Two more months!
Day 3: Today, only finished with Day 2 and I woke up with the worst case of body coordination. Everything hurt. My calfs, my feet, my back, my wrists, my hands, my neck, everything. I felt it all day. Though I still ate what I usually eat, with some sort of moderation, I felt like I should cut down just a bit. Not a lot, since I don't want to create a huge shift in balance once I go back to regular training after this program. It's all about creating a consistent pattern - lifelong. Though it's only Day 3 workout, it already feels like it will get easier. I did skip on some routines just because I can't move my body at all. But it feels like it would get better.
Day 4: Today feels much better than yesterday. Maybe it's just my body getting used to it. However, I had the weirdest change in my weight, it kept going up and down. I decided to stop checking my weight and just wait it out till the fit test day. So I went to the gym and used their work out space. It's pretty cool, very free and wide. Today's exercise was cardio recovery. Lots of breathing space but it wore out my legs that I couldn't do any of the one leg stand poses for more than a second. I was all shaky. That is all.
Day 5: I woke up pretty late today, around 1 pm. I thought yesterday's workout was not bad but my body felt like an out of date machine. I could feel aches everywhere. They weren't cramps. They were aches. Todays pure cardio exercise was not as scary as I thought it would be but there were "several" routines that I just couldn't get past the second count. Sweat sweat sweat ... perhaps mixed with a bit of tears. No, just sweat.
Day 6: I slept early yesterday, before 1 AM, in attempts to wake up early today. I did wake up at 7 and again at 9. But I just couldn't get out of bed. It's very tiring, I feel heavy. I managed to get up at around 12. I felt ashamed. However, I was very anxious to get back to working out again. I could feel my body itching to work out. To my surprise, when I did begin the routine "Plyometric Cardio Circuit", which is the same as Day 2, halfway through I found myself doubting my ability to finish this program. I just felt so tired. Tired and heavy. But I tried pushing myself. Though I couldn't finish some routines completely, I tired pulling in a couple of counts. I finished through today and tomorrow's break which I guess is good. Let's hope Day 8, a new week, is a better week.
Day 7: Rest day felt great. Didn't have much aches. Or maybe I do but I had a wonderful time on rest day.
