Insanity Workout Day 9: Choices

Today was one of those days where a long, rough day of work was bring me down. Juggling meeting after meeting and using every bit of brain power that I had left in my possession only pushed me further into feeling like all I really wanted to do at 4:30 was throw in the towel on INSANITY. The very thought of being a couch vegetable was becoming more appealing as the day wore on. Mentally, it wasn't helping that today was PURE HELL/Cardio day! So I did what I think most would do if there were in my position and on the INSANITY journey.

DIG DEEP!! 

So, I "dug deep" and laced up my sneakers for Day 8!

Capturing this moment in time where I am feeling less than enthusiastic about this work out felt important to me. I think that those of us who are not a professional fitness guru find that we experience days where we just want to throw in the towel. Hell, professional might feel this way too but I am betting it is much harder for them to "take a day off" from a workout when it is their profession. For me, I didn't want to go through this entire journey updating my blog only shooting out rainbows and butterflies about how I am one hundred percent pumped every day to be INSANE. I want to make sure I am presenting a real image of a person who is trying to stay motivated but does have moment of weakness when a CHOICE must be made.  
Today for me was not only about being mentally exhausted from work day but also the frustration of doing the physically hard workouts without results. Over the last week and half I have had the best eating habits I have probably had in my entire life. I went from drinking a six pack of Diet Dr. Pepper to drinking twelve plus cups of water a day and only have one or two diet sodas in the evening if I really couldn't stand to go without. I have even begun to eat Greek Yogurt and fruit for breakfast! I know this might not sound like a stretch but for anyone that knows me understand that my daily routine consists of coffee and the more coffee until around noon. I have been on the diet/health roller coaster ride before and I know how quickly motivation can be lost if the positive changes don't come with at least a little bit of positive results. 

With that being said I  am very thankful for the Shires INSANITY Support Group helping me through this journey because they are a month ahead and have said that if I stick with it I should start to see small results by the end of this week.

So today was about a choice and I choose to be INSANE!
