Insanity: Day 57 – Max Interval Plyo
This morning was an awesome workout. I'm going into this week with the attitude that everything needs to be left on the floor come Saturday and it showed in my workout this morning.
The workout was hard, as is the case in all Insanity programs. But I felt refreshed, energized and well able to do pretty much anything this morning. I blasted through the warm ups and was able to handle pretty much all of the first circuit. The second circuit was definitely more intense than the first and was equally more challenging. I was able to push through a lot of the second circuit as well, but I noticed that I was slowing down quite a bit during the second circuit.
The third circuit destroyed me. But that is to be expected. I don't suspect I will have enough stamina to make into the third circuit of a Max Insanity workout any time soon. Still, I was able to get some work out of it.
While I couldn't do everything in the routine this morning, I was able to do a lot more than I have been able to do so far. I noticed that I have significantly improved in the area of push ups as I was able to do pretty much all of the push up exercises today. Of course, as has been my greatest weakness so far, my quadriceps failed me numerous times today, especially in the power jacks and diamond jumps.
Still, I have no complaints. It was a great workout and a great way to start my day. I'm looking forward to tomorrow when I try to destroy myself with some Max Cardio Conditioning and Insane Abs. Here's to tomorrow.
My Diet for May 9, 2010

Holidays have historically been a struggle for me when it comes to dieting. Today was not that big of a struggle I'm happy to report.
It started off normal enough. It was a late morning because of all the activity from the night before. So after I woke up and acclimated myself to the day, and made coffee for Sandi for Mothers Day, I decided to handle breakfast for her. So I cooked her breakfast and when I was done, I made mine. It was simply two whole eggs cooked over hard on corn tortillas. I topped each taco with Trader Joe's Chipotle Salsa.
Lunch was another simple meal. I took a chicken breast from last night's dinner and sliced it up. I toasted a whole wheat tortilla then added romaine lettuce to it. Then I topped that with grilled onions, Crimini mushrooms, some of the sliced grilled chicken breast and some more Trader Joe's Chipotle Salsa. It was delicious.
Dinner was a bit hard to keep track of tonight, primarily because it was BBQ style and I was running around the kitchen most of the evening helping cook dinner for the moms. I'm pretty sure I nailed down everything I ate for dinner, but needless to say, I consumed a lot of food, but in small amounts.
