I must say you all are a great group of people and love all the encouragement, support and general caring about each other...
So David ordered the Insanity workout of TV last month... Well It finally arrived and we decided we would start it on August 1st....
So.... I must tell you that I have gained 70 pounds since David and I meet 8+ years ago. That is not nice to think about but I can blame myself, drugs, and foot problems, but now it is time to make a change....
Well Aug 1st came and I was scared.... I mean have you seen the infomercial on this stuff, very scary!
We had to do a warm up and then a fit test to find out your starting level.
On the DVD he tells you take as much time as you need between tests, but there are 8 test to take!
I start out strong. I am doing the warm up exercise's, and feeling good about everything for 25 seconds.... Seriously, people put themselves thru this kind of pain and anguish!
What were we thinking!
So I take a break, after a minute I am drenched in sweat and can hardly catch my breath, I am in so bad of shape.
I barley make it through the warm up, and then it is time for the fit test. Crazy jumping and kicking and push ups and ughhh anyway, I did not do good!
At this point, I am panting and gasping and decide that the floor is the perfect place for the pass out, it feels cool against my face... Praying that I might be able to move and stand in the upright position is all I ask for at this time.
I finally find myself and the torture is over, I glower at my DH and sending nasty thoughts his way for trying to kill me, what is wrong with this man, what did I ever do to make him feel this way about me.....
The next morning, I can't get out the bed without his help, walking is not good.... I can't make it down the stairs, I take a handful of drugs, praying for relief, by the time I get work, I am stiff but working out the soreness, I think to myself, prayers answered....
All day at work I am dreading what is waiting for me at home tonight, the first full workout.....
I read on line that most people can't make it through 10 minutes of the first workout, so my expectations are very low for myself at this point.
So Aug 2nd is here and I am dressed and ready for a workout.
He starts with a warm up, then stretching and then the workout start...
Well this chic did not even make it to the stretching part! I was done after 5 minutes of the warm up, DH only made it to 7 minutes. We did the stretching part too but just sat on the floor waiting for that section of the DVD. We NEVER made it to the workout.... O...M...G...
after the stretching, both of us collapse on the floor wheezing, coughing, panting, grasping for air.
I take a long bath trying to soak my muscles and make it to work today. Lots of drugs and I am here, thankful it is Friday and not looking forward to the torture that looms from the DVD player this evening.... We only have 60 more days....
so, if you don't hear from me tomorrow I may be on the floor unable to get up!
