Katie and I were back at it again, and for those just now joining us (as they say) this is easily the toughest of all the Insanity workouts as far as the first month is concerned. Just a beast!
Anyway, not much to report today since y'all should have a good idea by now of what to expect from this one: ~11 min of killer warmup; stretch sequence; and then 15 min of non-stop, 100%, keel over and try not to pass out, cardio intervals.
Again, we have pretty much got this warm-up thing down, but today (because of the extreme resistance stuff I did yesterday with P90x) I was very very sore. Doing "pushup jacks" when your chest starts off the workout already fried is not an easy proposition. With that in mind, there were a few more of the pushup exercises than normal where I had to modify due to sheer exhaustion. And I'm actually STILL sore as I type. Oh well.
I do have to say though, as hard as this workout is, it gives you a VERY satisfying feeling after you complete it.
Diet Update
Not too too much to report today, but there were still some pretty delicious items had throughout the day that fit the diet plan:
- Breakfast: green smoothie
- Mid-morning snack: almond milk & gluten free puffins
- Lunch: Udi's gluten free artisan bread, avocado, sliced chicken breast, mustard. Delish, but a bit messy. Those avocados do not want to stay on the sandwhich!
- Dinner: Katie took me to La Residence in Chapel Hill. Scrumtralescent tuna tartare and pork tenderloin. Pork isn't technically on my diet but is still "more" allowed than red meat
- Dessert: Katie made a homemade dairy-gluten free "ice cream" cake with peach sorbet, Pamela's cake mix, and caramel frosting. Wowzers it was good!
Going Forward
Just as an update on where my little reviews will go from here. Since the workouts don't really change for another two weeks, I'm going to take a brief hiatus and pick back up when the new workouts start hitting the schedule. If I can make it that far :)
