Wow!

I did it! I did Insanity on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I was a champ. It was tough on Friday and Saturday because my left calf muscle was super tight, but it wasn't bad enough that I was at a high risk of injury so I did it anyway. I'm glad I did. I rolled it out and iced it a bit and after a day off (Sunday), it's feeling a lot better. Thank goodness because tomorrow I jump right back in!

It's crazy how intense these workouts are. By the end, I'm a total sweat monster. It's cool because the workouts I could hardly finish are becoming much easier now. Also, just in the week I've officially done it, my pants are looser and I can tell my face is getting thinner.

On Friday and Saturday I had the sense to use my heart rate monitor. Both workouts were about 42 minutes. In both workouts, my average heart rate was 132. My max was 162 on Friday and 160 on Saturday. I love that feeling when you're heart is beating fast and you're all stretched and warmed up. You're in the zone and feel like you can take on anything.

As far as sugar goes, I've been eating it in moderation. While I'm working out everyday, I don't have a problem with overeating sugar. We'll see how it goes, but for now my plan is to just eat treats sparingly, but as a reward for my hard work:)
