INSANITY. Day 13.

So it's been two weeks. Today, for the first time, I made the conscious decision to push it during the workout. Before this I'd been surviving. Damm hasn't been eating enough-he has had that feeling of total exhaustion. So we'll be tweeking his eating, adding in more protein and carbs. I already had started eating more because my LittleMan upped his eating and I couldn't function at the caloric level I had been at.

And today we added the last new workout for this month: Cardio Abs. I had to rip off my shirt at that point, just like the dudes in the video, because it was dripping. And I was in the safety of my living room. No crunches, yet extremely hard.

And at this point I'm not going to continue daily postings on INSANITY. I'll post our Fit Tests, Measurements, and Weight, but the rest of this month we'll be doing the same workouts. When we hit Month 2 I probably will post once a day for at least a week, just so you can share in our pain. That counts as working out, right? Reading the travails of others? :P Hehe.

And I'm beginning to look at other exercise regimens sold by BeachBody. Shaun T., of INSANITY, is the dude who does Hip Hop Abs. If Damm thinks he could stick to that, we might buy that so we can alternate with INSANITY. I'm thinking he'll like it because you don't have to lift weights, but it is dancing. They have a few others but you gotta lift weights. Nothing wrong with that but Damm prefers exercises that don't require equipment because you can do them anywhere.

I'm thinking it's time for Second Breakfast. Wulfa the Workout Maven out.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

Werewolves are always better.

The question answering post will come tomorrow. Sunday was too busy. I just finished reading Twilight and New Moon . When I first started Twilight I wasn't impressed, it seemed slow and bleh and very teen dating girl story. Last night I got home at about midnight... I picked up New Moon. I was only going to read the ending to the scene that starts in the back of Twilight.... I didn't get much sleep last night(due to finishing New Moon). I'm loving the series. Although, wow these vamps scare me. Why? Because they are harder to kill. After reading the first book I spent 20 min thinking of counters. For a counter to be valid it has to be balanced. I can't just say "I'm superman and Vampires are deathly allergic to me and I heal like wolverine and have a robot army." (although when I ran into the aliens from Alien/Aliens/AvP for the first time, my counter at the time was almost exactly that.) I came up with the Dancer. He's a completely normal ...

There be too much history.

For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...
