7 Days and Counting

In proverbial terms, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have a week remaining to complete the Insanity 60 Day Challenge. Over these past two months I’ve developed a love/hate relationship with the daily exercises and the program leader, Shaun T. Many mornings I dreaded the physical and mental exhaustion I knew awaited. Other days I felt invigorated afterwards reveling in cardio endurance.

Like the nerd that I’ve become, I posted the wall calendar that comes with the program and marked off the days as I completed them. As I counted off each day I looked forward to freedom from exercise oppression. However, now as the end is close at hand I wonder what comes next.

Prior to beginning the Insanity Program it’s suggested to take measurements, check weight and even take photographs of yourself. As I mentioned, on occasion I am very nerdy. I did it all and even collected midpoint data as well. However, holding true the rebel cool guy I once was, I did not follow the recommended diet. For that matter, I didn’t change my diet much at all—it is my summer vacation after all.

Here’s the thing, the program is not finished and already I have lost a few pounds, toned my shoulders, chest, arms, abs and legs. It’s almost enough to make me watch my diet for the remaining days. Okay maybe not, but you can believe in the last week and the final Fit Test I will “Dig Deeper.”

Still I wonder. What will I do next?
