Paaaaaaaaaaaain!

Five days into Insanity and wow... I don't know about any of the others, but I know I'VE run into a lot of resistance already.

First off... I pulled at least seven muscles I didn't know I had in kickboxing class on Tuesday night when we were trying some new stuff (e.g., tumbling and jumping on and off 4ish foot tall walls.... hey, when you're only 5'2", that's a big wall). So basically everything from the middle of my back down has been in pretty intense pain over the last few days. Let's just say walking around, standing up/sitting down, and especially going up and down stairs have all been rather difficult activities... and probably very humorous for the rest of the world to watch.

Second... I got sick. Yay me and my impeccable timing (not). Think it's hard to catch your breath already during Shaun T's intervals? Try doing it when you're completely congested and have trouble breathing already. My sister keeps telling me to just skip days until I get better (or at least until my leg muscles calm down), but the truth is... the only time I DON'T hurt is at the very end and right after the workout - when the muscles are warm, have been gently stretched a little, and haven't had time to sit and stiffen. And as far as the sickness goes... heck, sweat it out!

There are also a lot of new bruises on my legs and arms that make supporting my self during particular exercises less than comfortable. Regardless... I am getting better and am still doing daily workouts - eventhough I can't go full throttle at the moment.

I'll admit... I feel a little cheated right now. The first week and I'm already struggling because of other circumstance. Not exactly a good way to start off. *sigh*

Hopefully, I'll come out stronger, though. Ready and eager to push through to the max as soon as possible! Insanity, prepare to be owwwwned next week!
