Day Eight...

Cardio Power and Resistance (otherwise known as "the one with all the push-ups")

It's been a week now since starting the program.  Time for a weigh in.  In my heart I'm hoping for some HUGE loss... like 5lbs all from my middle, but my head knows better.  A loss of 1-2 lbs per week is ideal.  I lost... not a damn thing!  Nope, nothing.  Still using the same holes on my belt (so I've not miraculously turned it all into muscle), and unless my scale is damaged (maybe I should get a new one just in case), I am feeling a bit perturbed.

The other thing is, my hip is wrecked.  I've been nursing a sore hip/low back for a few months now.  Yet another great reason to get moving.  But today's workout just didn't help this problem.  There are warnings on the DVD... "Insanity isn't for everyone; check with your doctor; etc. etc."... but that can't possibly mean me!  I am healthy.  Oh, wait, except for the arthritis and asthma, and extra 100 lbs, I'm healthy.  All the more reason to get in shape.

I will say it again... Insanity IS NOT for everyone.  Even going at my own pace, there is no way to modify many of these exercises, and it may be too late once you've tried it.

Off to hit the shower, the rub on the Voltaren (wicked stuff, btw).

PS - I refuse to give up and still plan on finishing the next 55 days... just more modifications.
