Well let's just say even recovery is hard during Insanity. I definitely appreciate going lighter than normal today. My body is extremely grateful. I feel..I don't know, different I guess. My posture has actually improved in the 4 days since I began this regimen. I have stretched muscles that I did not know that I could stretch today. And for the first time, I may see some benefit in yoga (don't tell Maurice I said that, lol). Exhausted doesn't begin to describe how I am feeling. I worked a full day, stayed late for tutorials, called parents, drove home through traffic, cooked dinner, AND STILL DID MY WORKOUT! If you cannot tell, yes I am patting myself on the back. It takes a huge amount of inner strength, guts, and determination to do what I did today.
That brings me to what I see as one of the greatest benefits of the Insanity plan; I don't have to leave home to do it! There is no "going to the gym"; my living room is my gym. My kids don't have to have a sitter, and my husband is not left home alone. It is very important to me not to neglect my family during this process. While it is important for me to do this for me, it is not so important that I am willing to sacrifice my relationship with my family.
I have so much more to say, but even my forearms are sore so I must stop typing. Hopefully I can finish during my down time at school tomorrow.
And before I forget, special thanks to my dad who is now following my blog. You have always supported me unconditionally, no matter what it is I've wanted to do. Your support means more to me than you may ever know. Thanks for always being in my corner. I love you!!
Until next time.....
