Ow. OW OW OW. My thighs are killing me which means they will be FRIED tomorrow.
Weighed in at 252 this morning. Yay? I have to weigh myself every day because it sends the weight to my doctor. With the medication I am on, any major weight/bodyfat fluctuations can be bad so the office monitors that. It is hell on my mental health though.Last time I weighed myself every day, I was in high school and had an eating disorder. =/
So, Â Tabata Power. I liked this one, even though I had to modify some of the floor work. I maxed out at 18 minutes...
Warm-Up 3x:
Straight Arm Jack, Scissor Chest Opener, Lateral Lunges, Downdog Spider - I actually didnt too bad at this. Just followed the modifier and remembered to breath
Burpee Lunge + Alternate Leg, Burpee Lunge + Alternate Leg, Plyo Lunge Jump Left, Plyo Lunge Jump Right, Split Lunge Punch, Split Lunge Punch, Back Lunge Kick Right Leg, Back Lunge Kick Left Leg - Oy with the burpees. I used my riser for this and just did regular burpees because I couldnt keep up with the extra’s to save my life. I liked the lunges but then again I love my squats and lunges. Dat ass yo.
Tabata 2:
Moving Plyo Push-up 2x, Moving Plyo Push-up 2x, Push-up Pop-Up 2x, Push-Up Row 2x, Knee Push-Up Row 2x - So I was either doing plain old knee push ups or holding plank on my knees and elbows because even the modification were rough on my joints. Might need to lose a lot more weight before I put that much weight on my joints. For the rows, I actually grabbed some 15lb weights and did the rows on my knees without the push ups.Â
Tabata 3:
Fast Power Jumps 2x, Slow Power Jump 2x, High Jumps 2x, Squat Knee Up 2x - knees knees knees squat squat squat - I had to take a break after this round because my heart rate hit over 180 and I got dizzy. Had to breath through the first round of the next ab exercise because I knew I could not lay down with my heart rate that high.
Tabata 4: This one is kinda crazy...
Switch Kick Abs, C-Sit Hold (10 seconds), Switch Kick Abs, C-Sit Hold (10 seconds), Switch Kick Abs Right Leg, C-Sit Hold (10 seconds), Switch Kick Abs Left Leg, C-Sit Hold (10 seconds), Scissor Abs, C-Sit Hold (10 seconds), Scissor Abs, C-Sit Hold (10 seconds), “L” Hold Right, C-Sit Hold (10 seconds), “L” Hold Left, C-Sit Hold (10 seconds) - for the love of everything holy omg. abs. abs. abs. Was able to do most of the modifiers at least
Tabata 5:
Tricep Dip Reach, C-Sit Hold (10 seconds), Tricep Dip Reach, C-Sit Hold (10 seconds), Single-Leg Tricep Dip Right, C-Sit Hold (10 seconds), Single-Leg Tricep Dip Left, C-Sit Hold (10 seconds), Speed Tricep Dip, (I am 250 freakin pounds dont tell me “We don’t lift weights in INSANITY Max: 30, we lift us.” All the middle fingers.) C-Sit Hold (10 seconds), Speed Tricep Dip, C-Sit Hold (10 seconds), 4-Count Tricep Dip, 4-Count Tricep Dip, C-Sit Hold (10 seconds) - The pose you hold would be great if I had any strength in my arms and wasnt putting so much weight on my joints. Instead of the first two exercises, I grabbed a 25lb weight, held it with both hands, and did overhead triceps. I did it for the first two exercises with the 10 second breaks. I then got on the floor and just held the c-sit and focused on engaging my abs and butt muscles and finding an not tensed up position for my arms. The only exercise i did 100% from this round was the 4 count up and down because it was a lot more focused.
Tabata 6Â
Split Lunge Punch, Push-Up Row, Switch Kick Abs, Speed Tricep Dip, Power Jump - for a whole fucking minute - for the dip I just held the C-Sit and then died during the power jump.
Cool Down: Ignored the beachbody one and did some stretching and used my foam roller on my legs.
Burned 420 calories (Polar heart rate monitor. My fitbit doesnt track my strength training well or track my heart rate correctly when it goes over 150)
Also, my snack turned into lunch because it filled me up so bad. I took 2 pieces of deli chicken and a piece of swiss cheese and rolled them up. I ate 4 of them and just started to get hungry before I worked out. Even then, I could still work out strongly. I cant eat right before a workout. it wouldnt be pretty.
Other than a little sore, I hope I can keep this up. My hope is to drop 20lb in 6 weeks (sounds like a lot, but at my current weight it is doable since I am carrying so much extra weight.). This means I will be around 230lb for the cruise which isnt great, but i have to remember it is a lot better than where I am now and where I was in December. I will be -50lb if I can pull it off.Â
My goal weight keeps changing. I want to get down to 200lb because it is a nice even number. I was very comfortable with myself, even though I was still heavy, at 180lb. At this weight though, I was out training my trainer and talking with her about being a personal trainer. Also, 180lb will mean i have dropped 100lbs and that number kinda blows my mind. Anything less than 180lb is awesome, but i just want to be healthy. I want to be able to comfortably (as comfortable as one can be when you are larger and almost 6 feet tall) on an airplane. I want to fit in a roller coaster without thinking i might need THAT seat. I want to keep up with my friends at festivals, travel more, and just enjoy food without overdoing it.
As you can see, I am a work in progress. =)
