Insanity- Week 2 Day 3

Moving right along.  Today was Plyo...AGAIN!!  As if once a week isn't enough!!  LOL  I like the exercises in & of themselves: ski jumps, basketball drills, football sprints, even the suicide sprints are OK.  But put them all together & GEEZ!!  I'm really trying to dig deep & find the energy to push as hard as I can.  It's been a bit difficult this week.  Not sure if my body is still adjusting to the routine or if I'm just too worn out by the time I get home.  I can't really work out first thing in the morning because I definitely wouldn't have enough energy to push as hard as I need to.  And I don't want to wait later into the evening because then I'd be sick from dinner and I'd just be getting more tired.  So I think I'm working out the best time of day for me- usually late afternoon before dinner.  I'm sticking with it & will see how things progress in the coming weeks!

I stopped at the store on my way home today to replenish my healthy foods!!  I went through the nutrition guide & wrote down the ingredients I needed to make some of the recipes in the booklet.  Tonight I am going to make my first seared tuna steak.  I tried it at PF Chang's a few weeks ago & really liked it so I thought I'd give it a try.  Will let ya know!  I also picked up some unsweetened almond milk & 25% less sugar Nesquick.  1 cup of the almond milk with 2 tablespoons of the Nesquick is only 100 calories!  And a great post-Insanity drink!!  Mmm...

I can't wait to see my hard work paying off.  Sometimes I feel discouraged after I finish my workout as if I didn't give my all, but I think I did.  I was laying on the floor a few times today because those level 1 drills are KILLER!!  I dug deep to do a few extra jumps in & out, up & down, but then my body just wouldn't let me do anymore.  Will push harder tomorrow!!

Tomorrow is the day that I am going to try a 3 mile run on the treadmill before I come home to do my Insanity.  I picked tomorrow since it's cardio recovery.  Not that you really get a recovery day, but that's what he likes to call it!  HAHA!!  Hope it all goes well!  I haven't run since the Frostbite race on February 20th!  Hoping to see an improvement in my running!!

Insanity is my new best friend & I am going to see this through to the end!  I have committed to keep pressing play & to dig deeper each time!!  Just wish the warm-ups weren't so tiring!!  :)
