Day 1. Complete Insanity!

So, I decided it was time to get my rear end in gear and start exercising. I have been sitting like a worthless lump, packing on pounds, for way too long. I will not say what my weight is up to ( which will later be referred to as my "starting" weight) until the end of this project. Let's just say, I weigh more now then I did when I was 9 months pregnant with any of my 3 children. Yeah, pretty grotesque. (I'm sure that word doesn't mean what I think it means, but it sounds like it fits!) 


So, again, I've decided it's time to start exercising. And instead of taking walks, or light jogging, or something simple, I have decided to go right for the heart attack type exercising. Yesterday (which, was day 1.. I am a little behind on the writing) I did the fitness test for the Insanity workout!! INSANITY!! It was, well, friggin insane!! Oh my goodness, I was dying!! You do different exercising for 1 minute each, then log how many times you were able to actually DO the exercise in that minute. I decided not to log anything from this first time.  It was pretty bad. There was one or two that I wasn't even able to do ONE of!! I was sweating like a pig, beat red, and feeling like I wanted to throw up. I was doing, maybe 10, at the very most of some of the exercises, while the bitch in the video was up to 60-70. Pretty embarassing, and disappointing on my part. But, it's a start, and starting is the hardest part, right? 


Now, for the next 2 weeks, there are different routines for each day of the week. I believe they are 45 minutes long.  I am going to be writing about each day. Today's routine (day 2) is called "Plyometric Cardio Circuit."  Yikes. Then for the next 3 days after today, it is something different. Then it starts over again, with a "rest" day on Sunday. 


So, this goes on for 2 weeks, then you take the fitness test again. I figure, if I make it that far, then I will keep a log of how I do the second time around. I am definitely, slightly, motivated. Haha. I even did some time on the Eliptical yesterday (day 1) which I plan on doing every day as well. Granted, it was only 10 minutes, but that's 10 minutes of moving that I wasn't doing before! I'd like to get out walking again as well. It's ridiculously discouraging knowing that, at one point, I was walking upwards of 10 miles a day..... and I don't think I would comfortably make 2 at this point.  But, I am determined to change that.
