Insanity Days 7, 8, 9 and 10

Day 7

Sundays are "rest" days for Insanity. Bonus for me since Sundays are also my free days. It was a rough weekend, so the extra rest day was welcome. However, in true Trisha style, I will be doing something else on Sundays to get my workout in. Already looking forward to it so I can workout with Ty.

Day 8

Today was a repeat of a class last week. It was Cardio Power and Resistance. I am already seeing a ton of improvement in myself. That really does help the motivation. Note to anyone wanting to know: this is the one where Shaun T starts out wearing a long sleeved shirt and takes it off mid-workout. The man is ripped. Yuck. (that is for Brett and my cousins Adam and Amanda if they happen to be reading this. Tee hee.)

I will also confess that after this weekend's craziness (Ty got sick, long story, very short for now), I DID crawl back into bed when I woke at 4:14 a minute before my alarm went off. I am so glad my brain kicked in and made it impossible for me to sleep and was literally screaming at me to get my ass out of bed and workout. I am glad that I did it. I would have regretted it if I didn't get up. It is now 5:30, workout is complete, a load of laundry switched out, coffee made, diaper bag packed and I am blogging about it. Talk about a productive morning!

I am on another round of antibiotics and am not supposed to have calcium within two hours of taking the pill. This is unfortunate because I am not taking my usual protein shake with milk, but instead am opting for a protein bar with less calcium. For some reason, my body doesn't like chewing this early in the morning. It is making for an interesting ten minutes.

Day 9

We are going to forget that today happened. My alarm didn't go off today. Funny how yesterday I woke up before it went off and today I just kept on sleeping.

I walked during breaks at work and that's about it.

I am back on the horse tomorrow. Getting my head in the game. Tomorrow. Just more proof for you all that, contrary to public belief, I am NOT superhuman. Except when I wear my Wonder Woman shirt, then the gloves are off. I admit, I ate more Doritos today than anyone should in a month. Nice.

Day 10

Since I missed yesterday's workout, I did it today. Plyometric Cardio. This is the same as workout #2 last week. Out of breath and muscle fatigue set in. My brain wants me to keep going, but my body just can't seem to join the club.

I give it my best, but find myself upset that I didn't do better. Confession: as I have a coughing fit, am incredibly sweaty and feeling a little like the control I usually have over my body is taking a break, I once again wet my pants. Yes. I did. Another reason for me to not join a gym. I don't think I would magically stop whizzing my pants if I joined a gym. I think my body just gets confused during high intensity workouts.

Signing off for now, to all of you near and far and to those of you whizzing your pants, until next time...
