Today started out as any other day after you almost die from exercising. I was sore, more than ever. I felt muscles that I didn't know existed and blah blah blah, same thing you ever from everyone else when they workout after it's been awhile since doing it prior. Had to go to school today and then to Java class to take our midterm exam. After, I went ahead and went over to my parents house, hung out for a bit, and of course brought food home like always (not complaining at all :-P) So i got home and prepared for Insanity Day 2. Today was the "Plyometric Cardio Circuit." It started out with a 10 minute or so warm-up, which did not feel like a warm-up at all. By the end of the warm-up, i was already warn out. It's pretty much non-stop. After the warm-up, it felt like hell on earth. It was non-stop probably about 5minute circuits of exercises or so with only 30 seconds in between 3times for the first, 3times for the second circuit. I couldn't keep up, not even gonna try to act like I did. It was tough and it made me feel like any other exercise i've ever done was nothing compared to this. Now, I have never had to do very intense workouts and such before because the only sport i every really played was soccer when i was younger. I used to ride my bike just about every day for most of my life until I got a car, but regardless, it didn't compare. The only times I willingly slowed down was because I could tell my heart rate was reaching pretty high up there, didn't want to do anything that isn't safe. The program constantly reminds you to check your heart rate, I don't have a monitor so I just went with my gut (which will soon be gone at this rate!) feeling. After I felt like i was ready I got back into it. I never stopped for more than 30seconds so I say that I really didn't miss too much considering its my first time doing all this. Something i noticed during the workout was that at some moments i felt this sudden burst of energy where I just wanted to push my self. It was weird, but I made sure to take advantage of it to push my self passed my limits. I am exhausted. I almost decided not to even write this because I'm so tired, but I made sure I did because I don't want to miss a single workout/entry into the blog. Overall, pretty impressed with myself. I never felt so much will power to keep going, i really like the feeling. Anyways, like started prior, im exhausted so I shall take my leave. BTW Here's how i ate today (don't judge) haha.
Breakfast - Meal Replacement Shake + 2 Pieces of whole grain wheat toast.
Snack - Banana
Lunch - Wendys :( ---- Chicken Sandwich and a small fry, light lemonade... I know I know, shouldn't be eating it but it honestly was probably near the healthiest combo they had.... Their freakin chicken Caesar salad has 750 calories... what the hell.
Snack - Forgot, oops
Dinner - didn't eat till late - Turkey /Provolone on Whole Grain White bread with boars head mustard (amazing, a must have if you like mustard).
And the key to all weight loss :
-----------------LOTS OF WATER ALL DAY-----------------
Get away from the 8 glasses of water a day, studies show it's not enough for some people, go with how your body feels, when your thirsty drink water. A rule of thumb i follow is
(Your Weight (lbs) / 2) = X -- Drink X in Ounces (half your body weight in ounces) for me thats almost 100oz of water a day. Way over the 8glasses a day
Take it for what it's worth, Im out!
