Day 36 of Insanity

OMG..I just finished the Fit Test and the Max Interval Circuit and I want to die! When it hit the 40 minute mark I was ready to stop and at the 13 minute mark I think I almost did. I was cursing like I've never cursed before. I drank 3 bottles of water and I'm sweating so bad..I need a shower...wait, I'm soaked enough that I feel like I took one with my clothes on..hahaha I definitely am NOT looking forward to doing that workout again and am a bit afraid of the coming week...lol


Here are my results from my 3rd Fit Test:


Switch Kicks - 40 - 60 - 60 
Power Jacks - 34 - 53 - 58
Power Knees - 84 - 99 - 101
Power Jumps - 36 - 40 - 43
Globe Jumps - 5 - 6 - 7
Suicide Jumps - 9 - 10 - 12
Push Up Jacks - 8 - 17 - 24
Low Plank Oblique - 26 - 42 - 55


I'm definitely improving!!!

Updated Stats from Day 1

I'm going to wait till I see my doctor this coming Tuesday to find out my weight.I measured myself last night and am pleasantly surprised by my results. Not too bad for 5 weeks.


Before Chest 37"   After 36"    -1
Before Waist 33"   After 33"      0
Before R Leg 27"   After 26.5" -.5
Before L Leg 27"   After 26.5  -.5
Before Hips 46"     After 45"   -1
Before R Arm 14"  After 13"   -1
Before L Arm 13"  After 12.5  -.5


4.5" lost total..not that much but I'm happy. I just wish my dang waist would go down. I've been busting my butt on it and nothing..ugh I've never had a problem with my stomach until my thyroid went to shit. My waist has always been tiny. The biggest it ever got was 29" and when I was in my mid 20's it was 25". I hope I can get it back to at least 29" again. I'm not going to give up!

Day 34 & 35 of Insanity

I hate to do it but I'm going to take the advice of my fellow message board friends on beachbody and take the day off. Even my husband has told me to do it. I really don't want to, but I'm not getting any better and my cough is so bad that I'm peeing myself. Yeah, I know..TMI but it's the truth. I am going to do the fit test and start round 2 on Monday but today I will give it a rest. My consolation is that it's recovery week and not a hard core workout so I can live with myself not doing the workout. I'm hoping this coughing stops soon. I literally can't take much more.

Day 33 of Insanity

I forgot to write in here yesterday but I did not miss a workout. I am able to get through it better and the push-ups are definitely easier than they were. Today is the last day of recovery week. Then I'm doing the fit test tomorrow and Monday the insanity will begin all over again but even more difficult. I'm nervous but excited. This cough I have is getting worse and it's starting to hurt my back. The upside to it is that my abs are sore from it..lol Gotta find the silver lining somehow!

Day 32 of Insanity

I ate more today and was able to get through the workout much easier than yesterday. This stupid cough has been plaguing me for weeks now and it just won't go away. It's such a hindrance because I have to keep stopping what I'm doing to hack my brains out. I don't feel bad at all..just a raspy cough. I'm hoping it will stop soon. The part of the Core Cardio & Balance workout that makes me laugh is at the end when ShaunT says "Jimmy is starting to die over here." hahaha Poor guy being called out on a video millions of people are going to view.

Day 31 of Insanity

Those switch kicks and hop squats are murder!! Maybe it's just me but I feel like as the week goes on I'm getting more and more tired...ugh! I don't get it. I didn't feel like this the past 4 weeks. I'm still pushing on no matter what but I wish I had more energy. I think I may not be eating enough which is probably the reason. I have a bad habit of forgetting to eat. I get preoccupied with other things and then realize the time. Bad Karen!!

Day 30 of Insanity

I think the workout was harder today than yesterday. Those one leg extensions are brutal! And this is supposed to be the recovery week?? Recovery from your heart beating out of your chest and sweating in huge amounts but that's it. It's still not easy but definitely not as taxing on your body as the other workouts have been.
