Hey Everyone,

I Started the Insanity program 16 days ago. Today would be day 16..... :S I have the worst cold ever and on top of it I now have Laryngitis. Yesterday I tried doing the Fit Test and I had to shut the video off just before starting Burpee's. Im totally heart broken because I dont want this to mess up the first two weeks. Iv already seen 1.5 loss on my waist and I really want to see more. I understand I should take care of my self first, which is fine. I probably will go home after work (YES, Im at work... ) put on a movie and lay there...

But any suggestions or anything.... Im just horrified that I either will lose what iv already worked for.. or just give up on it completely because who knows when I will be able to function again.

Maybe ill do half a video every day... :S How horrible. UGHHHH!

Please help.

Sincerely,

One SAD PANDA

I understand how fustrating that is....Last summer I started it and like 2 or 3 weeks in I had to get my wisdom teeth out.......Maybe try not to go too hard at it just do what you can take water breaks etc

Don't panic, you won't lose it all in the 7-10 days it takes to get over a cold, you might lose a bit, but just start gently as soon as you start to feel more yourself and you'll soon be back into it. Believe me, I had flu over Christmas, but my running hadn't been badly affected when I got back to it.

I had a similar experience with Insanity this year as well. However, instead of being sick, I went on vacation after doing 2 weeks of Insanity. I just completely started over with Day 1 and I'm now beginning week 3 of Insanity in my 2nd go-round.

Just don't give up! Stay with it. Start feeling better and then get back on the Insanity train!
