Coma

I slept like I was in a coma. All day, until about 5pm I finally found the will to get up. My body needed it to recover I guess.

Today was Pure Cardio, the worst day of Insanity and although I took a lot of breaks, pretty much one for every one minute exercise I felt great. I wasn't even that out of breath during the warm up. I think after next week the cobwebs will be broken loose and I will ascend another level of fitness. Right now I feel just about caught up to where I was, maybe a little better. ;)

"Recover" Day...

Yeah right. 

Again, I am convinced that word is not in Shaun T's vocabulary.  However, I do feel slightly recovered, perhaps "primed" is the better word.  When I began Insanity for the first time a year ago (almost to date) I would do Recovery Day prior to AZ Dodgeball and would be so loose, so limber and usually frustrated from the previous night's loss (my team on Wednesday nights isn't the best and I do end up doing the majority of the work but its good for practice) that I tear it up and feel great. 

That's how I feel right now.  Ready to kill...but ain't got nuffins to kill.  The lunges (as always) and pulses were tough and forever will be but I feel as though the last four days took all of my non glamor muscles, you know, the ones that are actually used on a daily basis for movement and not for the ladies were awakened and ready to be worked on some more.  I feel faster already, like I am back where I was in June prior to my injury but at the same time, I stayed active during that period (as best I could) so its no surprise I keep up, no surprise I feel stronger and am somehow a bit more flexible.  I cannot wait until Day 60...I look great now but Day 60 will only add to it.  >:)

As I glided through the hallway out of my room Carlos asked if I was done, I said I was and then he asked how I felt and I responded with the first word that came to mind: "Godly."

Is it the Catalyst?  Is it the inspiring voice of Shaun T and the admirable efforts of his crew that worked themselves?  Is it the muscles triggering the release of endorphins?  Beats me, but I am so happy to be back in the game.  Rinzler here I come.

Also, I bought some protein supplement that I just took, should help. 

I am also talking to someone from Beachbody who wants to be my coach, this will be interesting.  I think they are set up similar to Advocare with the whole, recruit your friends and have them recruit their friends deal but encouragement is encouragement.  These are beautiful people and I am ever eager to join their ranks and if some of my friends want to tag along, the more the merrier.

Do I Feel Great!

Did Insanity's Cardio Power and Resistance. Its the only one that has a warm up I cannot finish. I had to take a lot of breaks during the circuits too, but overall I did well. This is going to be a great first week that will make the oncoming weeks more effective. If I start out strong in week one, I can only imagine where I will be at the end of this bad boy.

I can feel more core tightening and my leg muscles waking up. I am getting stronger and faster or rather, I am getting back to where I was a couple of months ago. I am excited.

Catalyst may be doing something, too soon to tell. It could be just that my body is waking up. :)

Solid game of Dodgeball today too. Completely owned on my ex's new beau. It was quite amusing seeing him try so hard and failing. It was also great seeing my teammates step it up. We all hard roles to play and because of that, we won. I mean, I did contribute about 80% of it...just saying...

Vegas definitely elevated my game as did playing while injured, I learned or relearned that if I jump less, I catch more and I've been doing that a lot. Combining that and the Vegas elevated play makes me even more deadly...and I should probably keep my ego in check now...Lol.

I've missed you Shaun T.
