Week #3, But Only Days 16-18


So the third calendar week of Insanity was not my strongest. I skipped a weekday, took one short day in the gym, skipped Friday…  The workouts themselves are running together. A slight ankle twinge there, a pull in a hamstring there… nothing really has distinguished one day from another. 

Thursday September 20th was plyometric day, which continues to be my least favorite day. I did also make it to the gym that afternoon for some elliptical. Friday, September 21st, I forgot to set my alarm, so I missed the morning workout. I started doing stuff around my apartment after work, so I didn’t do an Insanity workout OR gym cardio. But I also wasn’t just sitting there, so I guess it’s not the worst thing in the world.  

This was the first weekend I consciously skipped Insanity to get some basic cardio back in my routine. Saturday, I hit the elliptical for 90 minutes, the bike for 15 minutes, and the stair climber for 15 minutes!  It felt good to just work it out.  Sunday I did 90 total minutes, another successful gym trip.

After Sunday Funday and trouble sleeping, Monday morning came way too quickly.  But I made it through Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs, plus a short elliptical workout after work.  Tuesday was supposed to be the Cardio Recovery Day.  However, I had an event to go to after work so instead of doing a stretching, no-calorie-burning workout, I jumped on the elliptical for 30 minutes in the morning.  Unfortunately, I had a few too many glasses of wine that evening, so I was hurting too much to get up for Insanity in the morning. Aaaaaaand then I decided to just take a total day off and lay on the couch after work.  Uh oh! I cannot let myself get lazy.
