I still remember the first practice of my 8th
grade basketball team. There were 2
teams - an A team and a B team with each team maxing out at 15 players. Day 1, we had over 50 players show up, and
the coach took waste baskets and sat them around the four corners of the
gym. At the start of basketball he told
us to run, if we had to puke the baskets were there for our convenience so we
could puke and keep running. For two
days, we ran and puked and puked and ran, and in that time, over 20 kids quit
the team, but for those of us who stuck through it, it felt good, as we had
accomplished something. Tonight, I
wanted that feeling again.
It all started as I got ready to work out. I should have been on my second to last night
of sculpt 1-2 after finishing Sweat 1-2 the night before. I was also looking forward to Sculpt because
I was tired. I was really worn out, and
I find the weights easier to get through when fatigued then the Cardio.
The problem was the universal remote would not let
me switch workouts and the first workout on both DVD’s is Cardio/Abs. Well, as the evening wore on I grew more and
more angry at the lack of ability to change workouts and do the one I wanted to
do. Finally I was so angry I put in
level 3-4 and decided to push it until I threw up. I’m not sure why this sounded so right, I
think with all the problems I have had along the way I just wanted that feeling
of accomplishment.
3-4 is tough - the entire workout is done in double
time from 1-2 and they have added another round of everything but the
kicks. I thought I worked up a sweat before;
I was drenched after this workout. In
the end I found myself lying on the ground gasping for air. I was so sore I couldn’t even begin Ab Ripper
200.
The only downside is although I felt like I was
going to puke several times I never actually did. I also somehow forgot to keep track of my
food today although if anything I think I ended low in calories rather than
high.
Well I’ll let you know tomorrow how I feel after the
killer workout, and I will try to do a better job with my food journal… Till
then….
