Insanity Day 38 - Max Cardio Conditioning

Ooops. I guess life got a bit in the way of updating this blog the past 2 and a half weeks. Well a quick synopsis of what I've been up to: went down to Charlotte, NC to visit some fam for a weekend, then went up to NJ for a family wedding the following weekend. All-in-all I've been real proud of myself for keeping up with Insanity for the most part while on my travels. I did the DVDs with my little 2 and 4 year old cousins down in NC, which was freaking hilarious. I was only able to get 1 workout in when I was up in NJ which was also funny because my parents house is about 100 years old and all the jumping in the Insanity workout was shaking the whole house so my dad made me take my laptop outside and do it in the back yard. It was a nice day so I actually got the most out of it and enjoyed being out there.

Today was typical Wednesday... wake up with the best intensions of getting to the gym at 6am but still hung over from post-kickball beers so snooze the alarm a few times and pledge to do Insanity after work. I got a good weight lifting workout today at lunch with Ian and made it down after work at around 7pm for Insanity. These "Max" workouts so far have been freaking INSANE. 1st of all they are just about an hour as opposed to the 40 minute month one workouts. Not only that, but they are way harder to boot! Holy crap they are killer. Today's was actually a bit easier than yesterday's Max Plyo workout, but still harder than any of the 1st month ones. Should be interesting to see what the "Max Recovery" workout brings tomorrow.

As far as diet - it was a really good day. I started drinking the Shakeology beach body shake for lunch and I'm hoping that starts to pay dividends as I look to shed these last 10-15 lbs.

Maybe I'll have time at work tomorrow to add the workout and diet schedule. But for now it's late and I've got a date with my boy Shaun T in 6 hours.
