Ok so I know it's been a while since I've been on here but I have a great explanation! A lot has been going on!! For real though, believe me!
Ok well where did I last leave off? May 24th I think?
Insanity day 5- pure cardio. Pretty sure it was so intense I thought I was going to die. I was sweating a lot too because I had to keep my shirt on since I was at David's house in case anyone walked in the room, haha.
Insanity day 6- plyo cardio circuit.
Insanity day 7- day off. Man did it feel great to rest! And I got to relax and spend time with my boy before I had to head back to Searcy to get ready for work the next day.
Insanity day 8- (Monday) after work I did my workout. Showered, ate, went to bed to do it all again!
Insanity day 9- after workout for the day, did the same as the day previous and got ready for work again.
insanity day 10- skipped it.. Whoops. I was just tired after working all day, and I drive to David's straight after work. I had been working twelve hour shifts for three days straight, I was exhausted and my feet killed, I figured I would just pick it back up the next day.
Insanity day 11- cardio recovery. skipped again because I was traveling all day long, and didn't get home in California until after 1am.
Insanity day 12- completed day ten! Which was cardio circuit.
Insanity day 13- decided to skip cardio recovery all together.. I know I need a day of rest but I took two days of rest and I needed to get back to work! So I did day 12 which was cardio power and resistance.
Insanity day 14- supposed to be a day of rest but I did day 13: pure cardio & cardio abs. I ended up only doing pure cardio because I didn't realize until later that they were two separate videos.
Insanity day 15- fit test!! Look at my most recent results compared to day one:
Switch kicks- 63 (vs 59)
Power Jacks- 52 (vs 49)
Power knees- 81 (vs 77)
Power jumps- 44 (vs 39)
Globe jumps- 9 (vs 7- equals 8 more total jumps!)
Suicide jumps- 16 (vs 15- I was getting tired by now!)
Push-up jacks- 23 (vs 18)
Low plank obliques- 55 (vs 42!!)
Insanity day 16- today!! I worked out so hard, it was literally insane and hurt so bad at times but I kept pushing through. I just kept thinking in my head, results results results!! I also discovered that I was supposed to be doing an extra video for abs on day 13, sooo I did the cardio abs video as well, in addition to cardio circuit. Today was crazy.. And I was already sore from the previous days.. I also rode a bike for approx three miles today (no one was here to take me to the dentist.. And there were no extra cars :/ oh well! Good exercise!). My mom didn't sympathize with me at all for having to take my bike. Her words exactly were "you do that insanity thing, so you can ride a bike, it's good exercise!" haha..
Oh well. I have had a good time with insanity. I really like it because it reminds me a lot of high school drills and whatnot, and also I like how I don't HAVE to meet a certain amount of repetitions.. I just do as many as I can depending on what level I am at. I really like that I don't have to count down from 25 or 30 reps for each thing. Some I may only be able to do 15-20 reps where as with other exercises I can do 30+! I just like that you are able to go at your own pace. But don't get me wrong you still need to push yourself. I always make goals and push myself. And if I can't do as many reps as they are doing on the TV, then I will at least keep moving, never stoping.. Even if I am turtle slow.
Also I really like insanity because I am actually already seeing results! They are not necessarily major by any means but you can definitely see results and it's awesome. It's really awesome seeing your hard work pay off!! David even has told me he has seen results, even after just the first week! It's just cool, haha.
Ok so what else have I been up to?? Work, work and work. I have now completed six full days of work! Six twelve hours shifts. I really really enjoy it though. I love working for others and serving people, its just awesome. And I am getting along with everyone just fine and have started to really figure out everything already. It is a bonus as well that I have worked with that computer system before since I have had clinicals at this hospital during school. That has definitely helped because I didn't have to be trained how to use the program. However there was one day when the computers were down and we had to do paper charting... Man was I actually happy for once that we have to do so much paperwork during school, because this hospital paper work was a cinch after all of that! It was crazy because many other CSAs or new employees that had not been working here since the computers had been down did not know how to do the paperwork because they were never trained. Thank your nursing school for preparing me! (you probably won't be hearing much more thanks from me though.. Especially after school starts again.. Haha).
I am also excited that I will hopefully be able to be promoted to the student nurse tech position along with Kasey, and Kayla, because that means we will be able to actually do skills that we have learned! So exciting!! I will keep everyone posted :)
Besides all this nonsense one more thing that I'd love to talk about and update everyone on is that: me and David are doing great!! This summer has just been perfect so far. We don't see each other during the week because we both work, but we spend the weekends together and they are just the best! So far I have just gone to his house. But I love it though. I love spending time with his family, they really are the greatest. And David and I can just relax and have fun with everyone, wether it be out at the pool, or inside watching The Heat play basketball. I just love spending time with him no matter what we are doing :). I am so excited to see what this summer has in store for us!!
On that note, I am going to head off of my lovely new (used) iPad my grandma surprised me with today! (She got a new one so she gave me her old one). She is a great lady, not only because of this thigh, but she has always been so loving and so thoughtful. But anyways, it is time to get off here. I didn't even realize the time! This certainly is one long blog!! But I had a lot to update one, it had been awhile. Well I hope everyone had a blessed day, goodnight to all!
