Frustration...

astrasburger

With myself...Trying to do Insanity tonight with my husband...I'm on week two and I'm in a mental slump! Physically i know i can do it...but emotionally i'm quitting or slacking. I am working on getting back in a routine of working out...and it's hard. After 2 back to back pregnancies this is the most out of shape i've been...Just mentally trying to get over myself. Going to get my tired butt on the treadmill and at least walk 30 minutes to make up for the fact that i slumped thru 1/2 my Insanity routine. Feeling sorry for myself for not liking how I look today...and wanting immediate results. Wanting more time to make it happen...wishing i could just make it all melt away...and have someone clean up the kitchen...and finish up work emails...and prepare for tomorrow. Tried whining to my husband and that didn't work...so i thought i could at least come and type it out so i feel like i'm venting.

There...I feel much better.

Thank you all and good night!

I have Insanity and it is definitely very tough. Maybe you should try something a little easier until you have worked up to Insanity (you said "this is the most out of shape that you have been"). I would recommend Jillian Michaels Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. It is 42 minutes + warm up and cool down. It has 7 circuits that are 6 minutes each and you can customize it to however long you want to do it. Plus it is very hard---one of the hardest cardio that I've ever done (besides Insanity of course). I would say it is #2 on my hard list---but it is A LOT more doable than Insanity (especially if you are just starting out). When you think you can handle more than JIllian's Banish Fat Boost Metabolism dvd jump back into Insanity. Just my opinion:flowerforyou: .
