Still fighting this damn cold. Not to mention I bruised my shin sliding in softball last night. When I woke up at 6am this morning, I thought I might be able to make it though the workout, so I hopped in the car and headed out to Tysons. The whole way there my leg was throbbing and I could barely walk on my way out to the car. I decided to skip the morning workout and just took a nap in my car. Definitely a good idea. I worked out with Ian at lunch (real tough one) and my leg was feeling much better by then. By the time I left the office at 6pm to go back to the gym for Insanity I was probably at 80-90% with my shin, and probably 70% with the cold. I'll take it!
My lunch workout with Ian was really hard today. Probably partly because I wasn't 100% but also it was just freakin intense. Shaun T would have been proud. We did was we call the "56" workout... basically pick one exercise for each muscle group (chest, shoulders, back, bi's, tri's) and then do 10 sets with reps decreasing each set from 10 to 1 (totalling 56 reps... hence the "56" workout). Started with bench press at 135 lbs (hard). Then military press at 85 lbs (also hard). Then lat-pulldown at 100 lbs (I think... it wasn't too hard so after the 5th set we pushed it up to 120 lbs). Then shrugs (rack). Finished with manual resistance curls and tricep press. Well, we didn't finish there... of course we had to do some killer ab work. All in all a really good and tough workout.
Insanity after work was nice. Didn't have to worry about finishing on a schedule like my morning workouts, so I was able to pause it towards the end, give myself a short 2 minute break then get back on it. I've done this Cardio Power and Resistance workout a few times so I'm not going to go into great detail about it, but it is a tough one. Well the first set of exercises is hard but not killer. The second set with Globe Jumps and Moving Pushups and Mountain Climber was freaking insane. I paused it after the 3rd set of these exercises before the bonus workouts (8 squat hops and 8 pushups times 4).

Thoughts on the Day
Still sick. Bad cough mostly. That plus the fact I could barely walk on my left leg this morning and I'm really happy I was able to get 2 workouts in today. I also ordered Shakeology today which I'm planning on having for lunch from now on. Should really help with the diet.
