Insanity-Day 1

Well, I'm slightly ashamed to say that after our first encounter with INSANITY Mac and I took about a week to recover (I think I finally started walking normally again a few days ago) But now we are back and ready to go!  We did day 1 today which is plyometric cardio circuit training.  Oh. My. Gosh.  I'm exhausted!!  He kept saying to check your heart rate to make sure you are safe, and I'm pretty sure my heart has never beat that fast.  I took plenty of breaks but I'm proud that we finished the workout--a whole 45 minutes! I swear, the warm up is the first 10-15 minutes and we both felt like we could have been done after the warm up and still have felt like we worked our butts off!  Coming up tomorrow is Cardio power and resistance.....I'm not sure I like the sound of that!!  For those of you who work with me, or know the stages of change, I'm pretty sure I'm still in the contemplation stage--or maybe somewhere in between there and the action stage.  I'm doing the workouts, but I'm still struggling with the mental part of it all--if it weren't for Mac I would likely have sat on the couch and read a book all night.  Mac on the other hand is definitely in the action stage.  He is so motivated and has such a positive attitude about working out and being healthy.  Good thing I've got him!!
