Insanity: Day 54 – Max Interval Circuit

Sometimes it’s hard to believe that I have been at this thing for almost 60 days. Straight through, without interrupting my schedule, without making excuses and without complaining about it (for the most part ;) ). I have to say that I am a little proud of myself for making this commitment to my health. And I will say that I am very, very proud of my daughter Rebekah for taking this challenge on with me. She really had no real reason to do this other than she wanted to and I am so blessed by that I can’t really put it into words. We have bonded, we have grown together and have actually watched each other change, for the better, in the last two months.

Today was a fun workout, although it was pretty hard on us both this morning. I think for me it was a combination of being a little dehydrated and a little tired. It was a struggle for me today to perform all of the routines throughout the workout but I pushed through and dug as deep as I could for as many as I could. And for the most part I did alright. The full body drills, however, destroyed me as they usually do. I have one week to go before I complete my first Insanity journey and I would love to be able to complete a full body drill in the circuit. I have yet to do that.

The hook jumps are another exercise that do me in proper. Pretty much anything that requires my quadriceps is going to pummel me and hook jumps fit neatly into that category. These are another exercise I would love to be able to complete before the end of next week.

Tomorrow is my weigh in day. That means that tomorrow morning is my “last chance” workout before checking my weight. I have eaten pretty well today and I hope I can carry that into tomorrow morning so that I can blast through the workout and really get a good loss tomorrow. I’m not sure I’m going to hit my 255.0 pound goal tomorrow, but anything less than I was last week will be a big win for me. So wish me luck. I have some serious work to do tomorrow when I take on Max Interval Sports Training.

My Diet for May 6, 2010

Today was a great eating day for me. I had three square meals, minimal snacks and absolutely no grazing.

Breakfast was simply two servings of GoLean Crunch cereal with a cup of nonfat milk. Lunch was a very large green salad with a few extras.

My coworker took me to Fresh Choice for lunch so I attacked their salad bar with vigor. I had about a cup of Green Leaf lettuce, a cup of Red Leaf lettuce, a cup of Romaine Hearts and about a half cup of spinach leaves. I topped it with some spiral pasta, peas, carrots, cucumbers, mushrooms, tomato and broccoli. I also added about two tablespoons of Chipotle Humus, a whole Whole Wheat Pita and about three hard boiled eggs. To finish off my lunch I ate about a half cup of vanilla chocolate swirl soft serve. As you can imagine, lunch did well to tide me over for the day.

Dinner was my old stand by, scrambled egg white tacos. This time I added onions and mushrooms to the mix to spice things up a bit. And once again I was totally stricken with a late night sweet tooth, so I indulged in a single serving of no sugar added gourmet chocolate. It was freaking awesome.
