Week #4: Days 19 – 23


Thursday morning (day 19) was tough. I am getting tired of getting up so early, tired of doing the same workout, tired of not seeing results, just tired in general. But I plowed through and completed Cardio Power and Resistance. I don’t mind this workout so much because I think the intervals are a little shorter. I know I took too many pauses though.  I did hit the gym for a quick 30 minutes of cardio after work though, so I hope that helped.

I was off work Friday, but I still got up early and got on the elliptical for about an hour. We threw my dad a surprise 60th birthday party (!!), but while we were cleaning up, I slipped and fell hard on my tailbone and wrist….  Not good for a lot of movement in the upcoming workouts.

Saturday morning, I headed back to the gym for elliptical (no Insanity again), but ouch!  I could feel that tailbone bruise… Ditto for Sunday.

Monday morning (day 20) started with Plyometric Cardio Circuit. I tried to push, but on all the activities that involved squats, I could feel the bruise. My knees are also starting to hurt, even though I have been using the braces again for the last week and half or so.  Sucked it up and made it through Insanity and 30 minutes on the elliptical after work. I would have loved to do more, but made myself stop so I wouldn’t hurt myself. Day 21 was an “off day,” but I skipped it, considering I didn’t do any Insanity over the weekend.

It was pretty much the same story on Tuesday and Wednesday – Pure Cardio in the morning, elliptical and Cardio Abs in the afternoon, followed by Cardio Power and Resistance (and afternoon elliptical) the next day.  Knees hurt, soreness in my tailbone. But I made it. I guess. I tried to really push myself Tuesday morning. Fewer pauses even though it was hurting. I think this will make a difference in the future. Going to need to try harder and harder every day and learn to keep myself accountable.
