Insanity: Day 58 – Max Cardio Conditioning and Cardio Abs
Today was a hard work out for me. Hard as in it was difficult for me to do. I think my body is trying to come down with something right now. My wife got sick about a week ago and I think I may have gotten whatever bug she had, so this morning it was a chore to get up and get motivated. I still worked out, but it was hard for me.
It was a strange feeling, honestly, being able to work out while being sick. I was able to do some of every routine this morning, including the ab work out. But it was challenging, and I had to stop in every single one of them except the warm up. I felt energized but only for short durations. So while I managed some work in every routine, it was only about half the routine that I was able to work out in.
No matter, I still worked out, still pushed myself and felt great doing it. I wish I would not have been fighting this bug because I would have tore it up if I could have. I'm really trying my hardest to dig into each of the exercises this week to push through to my goal. I don't want any excuses. I want to be at 250 on Saturday.
I'm also preparing myself for what's next, so I want to make sure I get as much out of each work out as I can. I've always had that mentality, but this week i'm looking for all new personal boundaries to push through. I've been fortunate enough to push beyond what I thought I could bare so far. I just want to test myself a little more this week to see, really, if I can push any more so that next week, when I start what I think I am going to start, I will be well prepared for it. We'll see.
My Diet for May 10, 2010

Today was sort of rough for me in all areas. Mostly because I was not feeling well at all for the entire day. I woke up, worked out then hit the ground running from there.
I started my day's diet off simple, making two eggs cooked over hard on corn tortillas topped with Chipotle Salsa. Lunch was equally simple except I didn't have to make it myself. A coworker invited me to lunch where I had a vegetable omelet cooked dry, hash browned potatoes and two pieces of wheat toast.
Dinner was sort of an odd duck. I got home later than normal and really had no appetite so I basically grazed for the evening. I stopped off at the store on the way home
and picked up some more salt-free spice. While I was there I bought a large red delicious apple that I promptly scarfed down. When I got home I ate a handful of cashews and after a little while made me a couple of pieces of toast (thin buns) with some no salt peanut butter. That was my dinner and the completion of my evening as it related to my diet.
SIDE NOTE: This is personal opinion speaking here, but Safeway has the absolute worse produce I've ever eaten and some of the highest prices I've seen on fruits and vegetables. The apple I bought was brown and grainy on the inside and it cost me $2.00. Seriously Safeway, get your act together. That is crap.
