I’ve been cheating… On Insanity that is! After successfully
completing the first three weeks as well! I was a bit disappointed but it
didn’t happen entirely by choice! After Friday’s workout I noticed some pain in
my right leg around my knee and knew that it wasn’t a sign of a good workout. I figured it's probably from all the jumping and squatting especially in the plyometric workouts. For those who don’t know me I get really paranoid about certain things and
damaging my knee is no different! I already know I have weak knees, the kind
that hurt from sitting in one position for too long (Hello aisle seats and
extra leg room on the plane!) I also can’t stand in one position for too long,
especially in heels! (One of the reasons med school was just never for me! Not
that they wear heels to med school… You catch my drift… lol) I got one of those
knee brace things to wear during my workout and that seemed to help but by the
next day the pain hadn’t gone away and to be honest I was too scared of doing
permanent damage to try again! (In case you’re wondering I’m really not that
tall. Taller than average for a girl I guess but still only 5’9”.)
Well apart
from cheating on Insanity, I’ve also been cheating on my ‘clean’ diet. Four
days in a row of Chinese food cannot be good for anyone! Although the one I had
on Friday night was particularly delicious! It was at Princess Garden of
Mayfair, London for one of my best friends 21st birthday, the food
there was soo good! Although as usual the waitresses were snappy and tried to
rush us. Poor women, everyone knows you cannot rush Nigerians; we do things at
our own time to our own taste. We are done when and only when WE decide to be
done! Some of the other staff were lovely though; especially the guy who
wouldn’t stop topping up everyone’s wine glass, he was determined to show us a
good time! LOL. It was a really great evening with a chilled house party to end
it all. OMG I got introduced to the best cherry liqueur ever! Does anyone know
where I can get some??!! (Any brand! I’m desperate).
As of today though my knee feels a lot better and I’ve
looked up some stretches to add to the end of my workouts to strengthen that
area so I’m jumping back on the Insanity wagon, and heck no I’m not starting
again! I’d rather die! LOL. I’d start from the beginning of Week 4 and
hopefully by my next fit test in about 2 weeks there’d be even more
improvement! Wish me luck guys… Also, I found one partner! Anyone else care to
join us?? Leave a comment below!
