Round 7: Day 48: Mason's Choice

I'm still here; I've just been somewhat delinquent in posting over the past few days. Today I picked up Mason's Choice again for the second time, and really enjoyed it. It takes me awhile to work up a sweat, but there are times in the latter portion of the workout where I sweat freely and am a bit short of breath. Tony is in good humour, and it's an engaging workout.

I'm still battling motivation issues, and I'd say that this Round hasn't been particularly successful so far, even though I'm heading into my second Recovery Week. Time is passing, results aren't being achieved, improvements aren't being seen, boredom is setting in, weight is up, definition is down, and some muscle has been lost. Not a good situation, I'd say.

Since I haven't been particularly intense, I'm not going to make this an official Recovery Week, but rather a rachet-up-the-intensity-with-cardio week. I'd like to spend one week really pushing myself to increase my energy level and to drop some weight (even if it's water weight). I just want to see if I can jump back onto the fitness bandwagon with a really tough week.

I've got a notion in my mind that I'll finish up this Round, take off a couple of weeks, then do a session of pure Insanity. It will be a change of pace, to say the least, and will shake up my fitness regimen. I'm also interested in seeing whether it will help me melt off some stubborn fat.

On to Week 8.
