Ahoy Matey's .....welcome back to blogger.
I cant believe that we made it through the last Plyometric Cardio Circuit workout that we have to do for Insanity last night. I cant say that I will miss it. Sorry, not my favorite workout. Neither of us thought we had the energy to get through this workout yesterday, but we both stuck it out, dug as deep as we could, waited for the endorphins to kick in and we did it ! We felt great towards the end of the routine, but it felt like it took forever to get to the stretches. I'm not sure why we just couldn't get in to it, but we did our absolute best. I guess everyone is entitled to an "off day" once in a while, huh? I have been really trying to do the moves with great form, and actually keep my core engaged throughout the moves. Wow, what a difference. When Shaun T tells you to lift your knees using your core, do it that way. It will feel odd at first, but when you start to feel your abs burn doing high knees, you"ll know you are doing it right ! My core feels amazing today. Ski Abs are another move that turns into a new beast when you do it pulling with your core, and not just moving your legs.
I do believe that for this upcoming month, we will both have to up our calorie intake, because we have both been getting hungry before bed time for the last week or so. Our metabolism must be in high gear now !! We have been following the nutrition guide religiously and now we will have to add a few hundred calories to our dinner and maybe to lunch as well. This nutrition plan is great. The menu choices are so friggin simple, that it almost seems too good to be true. But so far so good. I have maintained my weight for the first month, but i can see a definite change in muscle tone and definition. I just have to really work on this damn little spare tire that I still have left......so I will have to dig even deeper, bring it like my life depends on it and go faster,faster faster.....( i hate it when Shaun T says that during the workout).
Anyway, I will stop boring you this morning. I am looking forward to the upcoming months workouts ! The recovery week should be interesting as well. I will keep on blogging about our workouts, so please stay tuned.
