I do not know why I am having such a difficult time these past couple days. This morning it was extremely difficult to get out of bed, difficult to find my workout clothes in the dark, difficult to find a hair tie ANYWHERE in the house... really Life? Even my shoelaces have to be difficult today? The workout went in much of the same mode. A couple days ago I pulled a muscle in my back and while I was hoping the rest day would go a long ways towards helping, it just hasn't quite let go yet. I was mostly doing all right until we went to the up and down drills. Anything that had me jumping down then jumping back up made my back scream in pain. It's actually kind of funny because before Insanity I was not active by any means. I had to ask my fiance what to do for a pulled muscle because I was so inexperienced I didn't have a clue. My first reaction was to put ice on it, like I do the knots but apparently that's the opposite of what needs to be done. So in the middle of July my poor back is going to get heat and as much rest as I can give it.
Since today was Monday that meant I had to be to work a half hour early, not really a great day to pull off two workouts... especially when one gets out of bed a little late. I finished my Pure Cardio this morning and am going to finish out the day by doing Cardio Abs after I put the little monster to sleep. Not ideal but we'll make it work.
Ending on a positive note here, my Polar FT7 arrived n the mail today. I've already set it up and it is primed and ready to go for tomorrow morning's workout. I can't wait to see how many calories I am burning with Insanity... I just really hope it isn't massively lower than what I think it is.
