Insanity.. last week before recovery plus WOW

So this is my last week of this first round of Insanity before the recovery week and round two.  Then I get to take a week off and start it back all over again.  I must say I am ready for next week.  I know how rough the workouts are so I am dreading them.  Not good for me at all.  I am glad that it is a different high intensity work out every day.  I am glad that my body is not getting used to the moves and that each day is just as hard as the previous.  I like that my lungs are adjusting and my muscles are getting stronger.  I feel leaner and more powerful.  I am excited for next months workouts as they are roughly an hour long which will be longer than this past month by about 20 mins.  Plus it will be nice to start new exercises.   It is also nice that even after my insanity work out, I am still doing other things like riding my bike 10 miles, house/yard work, running, spinning etc  So I have been slowly increasing my workouts when I can.  I am also excited that I am solidly in a size 4 pants.. YAY!!!!  Watch out before long I will have that banging beach body with 6 pack abs.. right now.. not so much, I mean beach ready sure.. six pack, not so much.    Still insane and I am still really glad I am doing the program.
