I felt terrible when I got up this morning to workout. I have 2 weeks left of INSANITY and this morning was another fit test.
I had no energy, my stomach was upset and I was incredibly tired, more so than I have ever felt the whole previous month and a half I have been doing Insanity.
Yet I persevered, confident I would overcome and get a second wind.
I didn’t.
I *only* burned 905 calories today.
HAH
I know what you are thinking – ONLY?
In addition to the fit test was a normal full Insanity workout and the total workout time should have been 86 minutes. Well after the fit test, knowing I was already beat, I skipped the warmup for the actual workout (since I was already warmed up) but still couldn’t get my heart rate in the right zone. That number should have easily been over 1,000 calories.
But at least I finished, because EVERY SINGLE MOVE was mentally and physically exhausting. I was talking to myself the whole time, pushing myself forward. JUST FINISH. JUST FINISH.
My fit test results reflect my exhaustion.
But again, I finished and burned 905 calories so I really can’t complain too much.

I need a nap but I’ll have to settle for coffee.
I still think you did a great job and I am impressed by how committed you are.
You are a real inspiration. Good job on finishing your workout!
way to go for pushing through! you dug deep!
You did awesome! At least you pushed through it instead of sitting on your bum like I do when I’m feeling under the weather! For not feeling great you sure did good though!
