Insanity Day 9

Today I completed day 9 of INSANITY! It's really so strange to me that I'm actually waking up in the morning and looking forward to my work out! The reason it's so strange is because I literally feel like I'm going die each and every time I do the video! At first I was pretty sore, but now, I'm just feeling a slight soreness, mostly when I walk up and down my stairs. The first few days, I swear I looked like I should've been in a wheelchair! So far, the hardest things for me are the push-ups and the high-knees (high knees are kind of like running in place but every time you lift each leg, your knee should be coming up to your waist.). I HATE high knees! I like push ups, but I'm still pretty weak in that area. Instead of stopping, I usually do as many as I can and then  join in with girl push ups. Which, they really shouldn't be called girl push ups, I hate that! They should be called "half way push ups"! I'm excited for the day when I can do more in a row.

One thing I have in my head, is that I do not want to skip any days on this, unless I'm deathly ill. Today was one of those days where I knew if I didn't get my workout out of the way, I would be tempted to not do it at all. Trevor (oldest son) has to be out waiting for his bus, thankfully our driveway is his bus stop, at 7:10 am. Then Warren (middle son) has to be at school between 8-9 and I had to drop off Tessa (youngest princess) at my mom's in time for me to get to my Bible study by 9! The good thing about all this running around was that it's all in our hometown! After Bible study, I needed to get Tessa, then Warren, and then home in time to get Trevor off the bus. I'd have a couple hours in between until my hair client in the late afternoon. I just knew that the workout needed to be done before all of this. So I set my alarm last night and did my workout at 6 am. During the workout, the boys kept joining in and they'd tell me that I was doing a good job! It actually did help. It's weird, but I didn't want them to see me give up!

Towards the end, when I can hardly talk because I'm so beat, I was trying to give out orders to Trevor, "Buddy (pant, pant, pant) get your socks on!". It's a challenge enough for me to get Trevor dressed and ready for school by 7, let alone wake up and do Insanity at 6am! I am NOT a morning person...BUT I think that table has the potential to be turned. I LOVED that I was done for the day after that! And I was so awake after when I got Trevor on the bus, that getting the other kids ready and out the door wasn't as challenging. I might actually do this again tomorrow! If I become a morning person through all of this, I'll be amazed and very pleased! I've always wished that I could have more energy at the start of the day.
That's pretty much it for now. I'm eating really healthy, but at the same time, I do have trouble with when to eat what. Protein, fat, carbs??...so I'm working on that, but I'm slowly learning! Here's to week 2! So far in week 1, I lost 3lbs!!

One More Thing...
Today I joined a women's Bible Study at my church. I'm so excited about it! I lead a Bible Study through my church as well, but this was so great to show up with not having to prepare anything. Also, it was so awesome to be in a room with just women (sorry guys haha) and be able to learn, chat, share and just be real. I'm looking forward to the weeks to come! And thanks to my mom, for taking Tessa!
