Wut wut? INSANITY!!!!

By
Whee this past week has been crazy. My store is making room for a new educational department and I've been working A LOT more than I usually do because I've done moves before, I've worked for this company for ages and I know what I'm doing, and I'm good at it. I'm exhausted too. Lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling.

In addition to that craziness I'm still doing INSANITY. I missed this past Friday's workout because Thursday was an entire day of taking down fixtures and moving heavy things and Friday morning I almost couldn't move. And this upcoming Monday I was supposed to do the Fit Test and the hour-long workout but I have an overnight tonight and there's just no way I could carve out time/energy for an 1 1/2 workout. So I did the Fit Test this morning and I'll do the hour-long workout on its regularly scheduled day.

Results!

Last time:
Switch Kicks: 62
Power Jacks: 52
Power Knees: 79
Power Jumps: 30
Globe Jumps: 10
Suicide Jumps: 17
Pushup Jacks: 20
Low Plank Oblique: 46

This time:
Switch Kicks: 75
Power Jacks: 60
Power Knees: 100
Power Jumps: 50
Globe Jumps: 11
Suicide Jumps: 20
Pushup Jacks: 24
Low Plank Oblique: 50

I'm most impressed with the Power Jumps-30 to 50. I intensely dislike power jumping. Improvement in every area-I was determined this time since last time my Fit Test was more of a Blargh Test.

So. Two more weeks of INSANITY and then I'm done. With this round. I think I'll be ordering a couple videos from Cathe Freidrich-the most intense workout DVD's I've seen besides INSANITY-and creating a month-long series with the DVD's I already own of hers. And then I'll launch back into INSANITY. And after that I'll be starting my Bataan training in October.

Always have a plan. No plan and you'll be sitting in the middle of the lake not going anywhere. You can change the plan, revise it, toss it out and create a new one, but have one. At least then you're headed somewhere.

INSANITY. Day 2.

By
My thoughts on the Plyometric Cardio Circuit? My floor has never looked so appealing. And I never thought I'd be one of the "yellers." In exercise lingo (not another lingo!:) that means you yell when things get hard. Oh bother. Another pun. Anyway, Shaun T's Basketball Drills had me yelling. And grunting as good as those humongo body builders do. And as good as Tim the Tool Man Taylor:) Damm's thoughts were that he didn't push as hard as he could've BUT this time he was standing at the end of the workout. And as soon as he actually sat down he couldn't get back up:) We aren't going to change what we eat yet. We were already ingesting good-for-you foods. According to the caloric needs calculater Damm should be eating around 3,000 calories working out 6 days a week and I should be at 2,400. I'm already at 2,000-2,200 because I'm still the main food source of the Little Man. Not sure where Damm falls on the calorie count. Anyway, not upping ou...

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...

Pedestels

By
Me and someone had an interesting conversation yesterday. Prompting this short question post: Who do you put on a pedestel? Who do you look down on? Don't answer either of these please. I don't really want to know. I just did a personal inventory and realized there are an awful lot of people that I either elevate or disparage for reasons that are not really valid reasons. I know there are people I've thought horrible things about who were really just normal regular joes who were smart in other areas but inexperianced in the arena I knew them in. I know there are people I've thought of as amazing self assured genius specimens of physical perfection....who were really insecure, incompetant, losers who wanted more from life. Anways this is just serious thoughts from the Orc.
