This was my last level 1 workout, so I pushed and I pushed hard. I seriously starting balling like a baby on the third time through the last circuit. Tears, sweat, pain, moans of agony... I had it all. But I pushed and pushed and here I am, exhausted. I actually finished the workout about an hour ago, so I've had some time to recover. I feel great now, but an hour ago I was sprawled out on the floor not wanting to get up, not wanting to go up the stairs, and not wanting to stand in the shower. I need a shower seat or something.
So, after one month of Insanity...
- My body is more toned overall. I've noticed it the most in my stomach and my thighs.
- My complexion is better. This is probably more a result of quitting soda, but I quit soda so I could do Insanity without throwing up. So, there you go, it's pretty much directly related.
- I have more energy throughout the day. I'm up at 5:30am and in bed by 9:30pm. Early to bed and early to rise makes you less grumpy, ready to face any challenges, and ready to sleep at night.
- I sleep better at night. No tossing and turning. No waking up randomly in the middle of the night. I also wake up fully rested.
- I crave healthier foods. Fries are still a temptation, but much less of a temptation than they used to be.
- I'm more confident with my appearance in general. I feel good about myself. I'm more positive.
- I have gained 0.4 pounds. Yeah. Not the greatest thing, considering that I'm in a weight LOSS competition. But I know that the weight I've gained is purely muscle weight. I wish they would go by body fat percentage instead of percentage of weight lost. I don't weigh in until tomorrow, so I'll try to dehydrate myself between today and tomorrow. Haha....
