So, we are more than a third through the 100 days (43 have passed).
The not-so-springy weather really encumbered my efforts to go outside. (BOO on you, rain!)
I feel like I accomplished something, even though I cheated a bit on my exercise this week.
Yes, I did Insanity for six days. But not 100% on schedule.
Last Thursday was my off day, and then I somehow extended it into Friday when I went to the mall and enjoyed a round of walking around and getting my hair done all fancy. So when I got home, I didn't really want to mess it up. I paid good money for that cut and color.
Hubby says, "aren't you going to exercise?"
"Nope."
"You need to do your workout."
"And mess up this hair? You are insane."
I worked out by staring at myself in all reflective surfaces the rest of the evening, convinced I look 10 years younger with the new doo.
So my brief bout of narcissism delayed my starting the next week of Insanity workouts. I began on Saturday, and successfully completed every single workout until last night. I was scheduled to do a Pure Cardio and a Cardio abs segment (which in total would last about an hour). However, I was so exhausted after a 10-hour work day (not getting home until after 7:30) and my stomach was growling so loudly, I just didn't have it in me to do the whole thing. I did the 16-minute Cardio Abs segment. I plan on making up for the missed workout on Saturday.
This week's accomplishment:
- Walked a mile or so.
- Three hours of cardio/sculpt.
The scale was really mean, though. I weighed the exact same as last week. I got frustrated. But I was encouraged this week by my Weight Watchers members who have noticed changes in my physical appearance after a couple of weeks. It's all about the inches, folks. I want to lose several more inches so I can comfortably fit into those awesome purple jeans I bought on QVC. Now I have three different purple-colored pants. One is a size 6, though. That will take me a while to fit into again. Here's to hoping.
Today is a rest day ... from the DVDs. The weather is supposed to be so nice today that I plan on walking a mile or so during a break at work and riding my bike when I get home. Saturday's scheduled Insanity workout is just the Fit Test, but I will skip that and do the Pure Cardio workout I skipped out on yesterday.
