Today I was doing my Insanity work out and I realized that my lungs are stronger than my legs. I was doing these squats and knee lifts and whatever else Shawn T tries to kill you with and I wasn't out of breath, but my muscles were protesting. If I stopped for about 5 seconds I could keep going, but it sucks. I'm trying to push myself, but my muscles don't seem to want me too. I don't want to push too hard and hurt myself either, so I'm not pushing as hard as I want. I've also realized that I am getting through more of the work out though. I mean without taking such long breaks. I can tell by my pedometer mostly. When I first started wearing it I was getting about 2000-2500 steps with each workout. Now I'm getting closer to 3000+. That's a pretty good improvement, I think. Today I had over 8000 steps total. We went a little further with our walk at lunch. It was about 20 minutes and I actually broke a sweat. I don't think I should be able to break a sweat outside in January, but it is Georgia and the weather doesn't care what month it is here.
Next week Matt will be home all week, but it is the recovery week in Insanity, so maybe it won't matter as much if I don't get that work out in every day. I'd still like too, but he doesn't always want to leave the room for me to work out. I love my husband, but it's just weird for him to sit there and watch me work out. I wouldn't mind if was joining in though. He keeps saying that he wants to start working out, so maybe I can talk him into it next week. After that though, the videos get a little bit more intense. And I can't wait. I'm ready to start burning some real fat!
