Working It!

I should be getting Jillian back any day now. I'm hoping to use her for the test run to get back into Insanity. Between my pinched nerve and foot issues, I'm taking it slow so that I don't get my workout privileges revoked for a couple of months. Since the 30 Day Shred is similar to Insanity, except it is Jillian and not Shaun T and the workouts are shorter and less intense, I figure that I would be good to slide back into Insanity by testing the waters. My hope is that it will go smoothly and I will be back with Shaun T and the ever so irritating Tonia in a week and a half.

I've been keeping busy, trying to keep my muscles stretched and working the Tony Little Gazelle like it is the late 90's. It has been excruciatingly hot around here lately, so my walks have been limited to morning walks only with that even being in the mid to upper 80's. Today, I was able to walk all three breaks because we finally got some relief in the weather. Hal.Le.Lu.Jah.

It might even be worth my time to bust Billy out and see how things feel. I'm still not sure how I feel about seeing him first thing in the morning. I'm still a bit disappointed in him.

4:15 comes very quick. I find that my desire to be up at that time has greatly depleted since I'm not doing the workout that I want to be doing. I've been fortunate enough that there has been a good movie on TV at that time so I can at least avoid watching rerererereruns of "Full House" and "Dr. Phil." Use those as a last resort. ONLY as a last resort.

It is tough taking it easy. I fight the urge to take off running a lot. No. I'm not a runner. You know that. But it is hard when you are up that early doing your thing and you are wanting to make it worthwhile. I like it when the sweat is visible through my "Team Bill" shirt. And no, I'm not talking about stepping outside for 4.3 minutes to find yourself drenched in sweat from the heat and humidity. I would just like to say that there is something not so badass about wearing a True Blood shirt while on a Gazelle. Sigh. I'm being good, though. I took the doctor's threats upon me seriously because I don't want to do this again or for a lot longer with no other outlets during this time of year.

Signing off for now, to all of you near and far and to those of you wishing this would have been a better post, until next time...
