  7. Insanity: Plyometric Cardio Circuit

    • felt a lot stronger and better during the warmup and the first part of the workout. the power squats are coming a little easier and I kept enough power to get through ski jumps.
    • the second circuit still absolutely demolished me. I can’t seem to maintain the upper strength to hold plank for three moves, I usually end up skipping one of them and breaking and then doing the “wacky jacks” from p90x as a substitute
    • I plan on doing ab ripper x tonight to make up for skipping some of the ab moves, also I feel like I haven’t done a strenuous ab focused routine for a month or so!
    • so much sweat!!!

    I pass by stuff like this all the time and think “my followers need to hear this” instead of reflecting on my own re-blogged advice. The people she’s talking about aren’t always maliciously or even intentionally not good for you, they just are. When you’re around you always lose something, money, gas, a piece of yourself- while never getting anything in return. Take a moment today to really think about what she means.

    AMEN.

    Release anything that no longer serves you. You know who these people are. You don’t even need to think that hard, you just know. Let go of them. Don’t carry unnecessary burden in your life. Let go of the toxic people in your life.

    For me, this just reinforces why I have cut my mother out of my life. She has shown me she doesn’t care about me time and time again and I will not ever forgive her only to have her break my heart again.

    thank u oprah
