11 Weeks PP

This week felt better. I lost 2 lbs and around Thursday, felt my strength and endurance increase exponentially. This is really a fascinating process. There will be weeks of working hard, sweating and exhausted, with no clear sign that anything is changing and then almost overnight I'll jump over that hump into the next level. I know I will have slow days and fast days, which is why it is important to never give up. I have been playing around with my plan a little and am including the pic I posted before of what I had intended to do this week vs. what I actually did. I'm finding that since I am doing multiple workouts a day, I desperately need to do Yoga 3x/week. So mornings will be committed to Stroller Strong Moms on Monday, Wednesday, Friday with Yoga on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Sunday will be a recovery day with NOTHING. Ab wheel reps are going great, I'm definitely feeling the difference there. I FINISHED the 30-Day Shred!! I'm excited about that and hope it strengthened me enough to tackle Insanity, starting on Monday, every evening except for Sundays (built-in recovery day, thankfully!) Insanity is the most difficult workout I have ever done (or rather, TRIED to do...I made it 11 days once...), so I am honestly feeling very apprehensive and threatened by it...I plan to work hard and keep up with it the best I can, and hope that the Yoga continues to have the wonderful healing/stretching quality that I need. I am currently alternating six Rainbeau Mars Yoga DVDs that I love, so I don't get bored. Not to mention that I am about to being Week 2 of Couch to 5K (out of 8 weeks) and signed up for my very first 5K, which will be on March 16!

Original plan on top vs. what I ended up doing.
