Insanity: Week 3

Every two to three weeks during Insanity you do a fit test. It's the same test every time and it takes about 25 minutes to do. I had my second fit test at the beginning of week three. I thought for sure it wasn't going to go well because I had taken that sick week off. I figured at the very least I was going to stay the same. I was wrong!! A couple of moves I almost doubled, everything increased except one move which I did the exact same number of. I was SHOCKED. You could have knocked me down with a feather, you know, if you could find a bird big enough to produce a feather that can knock down a 180+ lb chic. But seriously, in two short weeks I did more reps than when I started. That is kinda awesome and a testament to this workout. As I went through the week I also discovered that I actually look forward to my workouts. A feeling I hadn't genuinely had in awhile. I really like Shaun T. I know he is saying the same thing over and over to me because I am just repeating videos, but he is encouraging and knows how to motivate you to keep pushing and doing more, to not just ease your way through Insanity. I also walk away from my workouts feeling like I did something, feeling accomplished, feeling good about myself. In my mind, I'm like, "I just did THAT, I rocked that b*#@h!". Feeling good about yourself ain't nothing, just sayin. Whether it's true or not I feel some changes happening in my body and I think I see some too. I know the killer warm-up isn't killing me so much now and my recovery rate is getting faster. Yeah! Happy lungs and heart!! There isn't a single crunch in this workout and yet, I feel like my core is getting stronger. This is good stuff. So, my report for Week 3 is a definite two thumbs up... Yo.

Insanity: Week 3
Weight: 180.4 (down 6 lbs)
Measurements: Not until the end.
Motivation: I am good to go right now, feeling great, feeling confident, ready for week four.
I also comfortably wore my 11's this weekend. Cute jeans are motivation enough for me!
Strength Factor: I'm not sore at all right now, which is nice, but also leads me to believe I need to push a little harder this week.
