Definitely a productive week! Made yesterday my rest day because I really needed it (and also because I had a function to attend that night, and I didn't want to go all stinky and spent), and did Cardio Recovery today. Also got a good thirty minute walk in on the treadmill at lunch. I took a chance and decided to boost my speed to 4mph.... daring, I know! But it still felt great, it still staves off that 3pm crash, and lately it's been keeping me warm 'cause it gets really cold in that plant where I work! So the benefits are threefold there!
Very quickly, I want to review how the week went in the usual fashion:
BEST: I definitely see progress in terms of performance in the workouts. I'm made it through all of them without crashing or taking too much additional rest. Now, don't get me wrong, this is still the hardest workout I have ever done, and it's still kicking my ass at least six different ways! But on the other hand, I feel like I am getting the hang of it and getting used to the max interval training style Shaun T. uses in this program. I never thought I would work so hard and get by on such little rest, but that appears to be exactly what I am doing! Yay!
HARDEST: Staying on pace with the video and effectively managing the time to do this was very difficult. I wonder if I should try working out in the mornings this week and see what happens when I try that.
WORST: The obsession with calories and with eating. I'm doing well so far, but I really don't want to lose one more second counting calories. It's like fretting over your bank account... a whole lot of not fun, and this is supposed to be fun!
That's basically it. Week three begins tomorrow, and the first thing to do is the Fit Test. Let's see how those numbers have changed since the last time!
