17 Weeks PP

This week was rough due to sickness and my inability to do anything except for Insanity (and some spinning), but it was also the first week of Insanity's Month 2, which makes Month 1 seem like taking a bubble bath. Motivation continues to be challenging when you know that you will be in extreme discomfort for about an hour each day. Imagine that it is -50 F outside and you have to take all your clothes off and run around the block for an hour. Not only are you embarrassed if anyone sees you, but you spend a good 10 min staring out the window to try to talk yourself into it and convince yourself you will not die. This is how I feel every morning before I do Insanity. Only 3 weeks remain though, and I WILL DO IT! The program is actually designed very well. It pushes you hard, but the warm-ups, cool-downs, and stretches are what make it possible to do every day. My muscles have been sore constantly since Day 1, but not injured. After this, my workout routine will include a lot more rest time, but I'll be damned if I don't get my money's worth and at least see what it's like to do it as it was meant to be done! It's only 9 [terrible] weeks, after all. I can see the fat melting before my eyes and muscles are toning. The place that takes the longest is the belly. After all, it is where I hosted a baby for 9 months and I didn't really exercise that area during that time. I had given up doing the Ab Wheel exercises a few weeks ago because I felt like I was doing too much. Well, for fun (ha!) I did it last night and I woke up this morning with noticeably more toned abs than I had yesterday! Needless to say, the Ab Wheel has been reinstated into my routine.
I have been thinking again about how long I will write this blog, and I have decided to end it at 40 weeks Post-Partum. After all, that's how long I was pregnant, so I think the only way I can legitimately call it an "Un-Baby Blog" is by keeping the same timeline for getting "un-pregnant". I am going to see just how badass I can make my body by that point, which is August 17. I see no reason to keep a blog after that because I am by no means a fitness expert.
