Insanity Workout Day 8: Plyometrics Round 3 - For Once Shaun T Was Not Lying

1-12-10: I understand now why Shaun T has a day off in the schedule. Especially in the early goings on. I did not want to get out of bed this morning, but managed to. Definitely did not want to work out. The first time I was dreading it actually. So, I took a little nap while walking down the stairs and gave Plyometrics my third attempt. Some good, some bad. The good was that I am getting much better at the warmup. Form is better, initial endurance is better, strength is better so things don't quite hurt as fast as before (though, inevitably all of the muscles will hurt). However, at some point during the warmup and through much of the rest of the workout I was thinking that if I "accidentally" kicked the TV screen in then Shaun T would stop his jabbering.

The rest of the day had me extremely tired as well. By the end of my work day I was almost falling asleep. It was difficult to focus. Which leads me to challenge number...oh...4 or 5. Going to bed on time. As I finish typing this at around 11:30 and knowing that I will be up in 6 hours, I question what the hell I'm doing. I understand that for this system to work for me, I will have to cheat at things here and there. However, near the beginning I have made a concerted effort to cheat as little as possible for everything but sleep apparently. I will get about six hours tonight which is more than I've gotten since Saturday night. I simply like the extra time in the day. Perhaps, I will stop cheating at this as well...at least for a little while. I did not imagine this being one of the more difficult aspects. Harder than the food. Very weird. Weekend coming up...good place to try getting 7 hours of sleep in per night.
