Ringing in the New Year.....SORE!!!

   Happy 2014 folks!!  As of January 1st, I recommitted myself to the INSANITY program......I think that in itself requires a little mental instability, and that's not even considering the workouts themselves!!  OUCH.  I did 3 months of T25, and it is a quick, (almost) fun workout; but, I felt myself plateau, and decided it was time to increase the intensity and difficulty of my workouts.   As I think I mentioned in an earlier post, I am already an INSANITY survivor.  So, I pretty much knew what I was in for (OK, OK, I MIGHT have forgotten EXACTLY how hard it is!!) Day 1: The Fit Test, I had the fit test, and was mentally prepared to jump right into these workouts so I TOTALLY did the happy dance in my head thinking I was getting off easy.....WRONG!!!  I had completely forgotten how difficult that fit test is!!  I couldn't breathe within the first five minutes and was throwing up by the time it was over.  The rest of the week has gone much the same and I was very quickly reminded of my mantras that got me through it the first time:

   On a more positive note, T25 was a GREAT base to the INSANITY workouts.  I've been able to work harder and go longer without breaks than I did the first time around.  Also, I'm already down 2 pounds in the first week!  SO, in the words of the GREAT Shaun T: I will continue to "Dig Deeper" even if it goes something like this (substitute "running" for "doing INSANITY")
