Insanity Workout Program: Day 4, Cardio Recovery

Thu, 20 Dec 2012 09:05:18 -0500

Was nice to have a relaxing morning or stretching and trying to recover from the last 3 days.

Although tonight is my running night so it coincides well with that.

Just hoping I can get through my 4 mile run tonight pain free.

This is why I love running and runners

It seems that the whole community loves to drink.

I just signed up for a 3 mile 5 beer race. Yup. You heard that right.

It is a combination of a pub crawl and a race.

We will have to stop at 5 different bars while running and drink a beer at each. How awesome does that sound? Fucking amazing if you ask me.

Insanity Workout Day 3 - Cardio Power & Resistance

Wed, 19 Dec 2012 10:41:16 -0500

My whole body hurts.

I forgot how much these work outs kicked my ass. Especially when all I’ve really been doing for the past few months is just running once or twice a week. Not being as active as I should have been. My body and muscles just aren’t used to this.

Losing Belly Fat - We All Hate It!

Hey, please don't think I'm coming off as an asshole! I don't mean for it to sound that way! but I think you can definitely kick the bad foods before the holidays are over. I've decided to eat as healthy as I can for the last few months while exercising daily the the progress is amazing. Its tough to not eat that stuff, but you feel so much better after eating something healthy. Once you kick the habit of junkfood, its so much easier to avoid it.

Tue, 18 Dec 2012 16:35:00 -0500

It really isn’t so much the eating bad part. I can and will dump the crap again. It is more all the beer I know I’m going to consume over the next few weeks. I’m too much of an alcoholic/binge/social drinker to give that up.

Over the summer, I primarily eat primal/paleo and absolutely loved it. I still had a ton of energy, which some people complain about, and never felt better.

Once the holiday’s are over I know I’m going to cut back on the drinking too. But I also know myself enough to know I’m not going to cut back on that now especially when I have a bunch of parties to go to between now and new years.

But you are 100% right that once you kick the habit it is a lot easier to avoid it. And no you didn’t come off as an asshole at all.

So much for eating healthy...

I was all set to order a salad for lunch today when someone suggested a pizza.

Fuck yeah. I wanted that pizza.

Though I didn’t stuff myself, only had 3 slices.

My new theory is to continue to work out every morning through the holidays. But since I know I’m going to eat bad at the Christmas parties I’m going to go to I mind as well say fuck it until after they are all over.

I know, it is a piss poor theory. But just as long as I get in the habit of working out before work again I’ll be fine. Eventually I’ll correct my diet to go along with it.

Weighed myself this morning. Back up to 155

Tue, 18 Dec 2012 13:05:58 -0500

In July when I ran the Tough Mudder, back before I really started slacking off, I was around 140. So since July I’ve gained 15 lbs. What a kick in the balls that is…

I’m fairly confident I can lose that in a month or so though. If I keep on working out and stick with Insanity and get back into running.

I do need to get back into shape to run my next Tough Mudder in May.

Insanity Workout Day 2 - Plyometric Cardio Circuit

Tue, 18 Dec 2012 10:55:08 -0500

Holy shit.

I forgot how tough this work out was. I am totally wiped out.

It’s amazing how quickly one can get out of shape. Damn you beer!!!!

But I stuck with it for another day and will hopefully keep with it tomorrow. It takes a week or two to turn something into a routine. I do like getting up early as I’m not still asleep now at work. Makes me feel so much better.

Trying to get back into a healthy lifestyle just isn't easy

So I started another round of Insanity this morning but now my brother wants to get some beers after work. One of the bars we go to every so often is having a guest brewery come in and well how the Hell can I say no to this?

I’m just hoping I don’t drink too much so I will still wake up early tomorrow morning.

Though I really can’t promise anything.

My first update since sometime in July

Mon, 17 Dec 2012 11:11:04 -0500

Holy shit have I been slacking off.

But I was good this morning. I finally got up early before work and started another round of Insanity.

This morning was just the fit test to see where I am. Sadly I’m no where near where I was before, during the summer, when I was updating this blog more regularly.

Hopefully I can start the routine and get form the habit of waking up before work. Since my knee has been hurting from running this will be good for me. Not only will I lose a few lbs but I’ll also strengthen the muscles around my knee.

Just finished the tough mudder.

Just finished the tough mudder.

What sort of changes have you noticed through the primal lifestyle I have been using it on and off for a couple of weeks and noticed less mood swings and more energy. How about you?

Tue, 10 Jul 2012 11:01:31 -0400

I’ve never been one for mood swings but when I first started going primal I noticed that I just felt a lot healthier. I definitely had more energy and just felt better over all. My cravings for junk food went away and life was good.

The last week or so I haven’t been doing so well and that’s probably why I’ve been feeling like crap. This weekend I drank too much and ate like crap.

I think my body is telling me something.

Been feeling a bit under the weather for the past few days

Tue, 10 Jul 2012 08:49:13 -0400

Hoping to go out for a run tonight after work.

Hopefully that makes me feel a lot better.

Ran another 5k race last night

Fri, 06 Jul 2012 09:31:12 -0400

Running back to back usually isn’t a big deal for me. But when I’m pushing myself racing I guess it is.

I felt like I was running so slow. My legs were tight. I was sore. But I still finished better than I thought.

Finished the race 23:30. 45 seconds slower than the day before. But still a good race.

Now I just need to get back into my routine of waking up early to work out in the morning. I haven’t done that all week.

Ran another 5k yesterday

Thu, 05 Jul 2012 08:03:47 -0400

Ran another 5k yesterday:

My goal is to eventually do one under 20 minutes. I still have a little work to do to accomplish that.

But for now I’m happy with 22:46. That is my best time so far and it comes on one of the hottest days of the year. I probably shouldn’t have ate eggs for breakfast yesterday 2 hours before the race. Coming down the stretch I felt like I was going to throw up and couldn’t push myself at the finish line.

Running another 5k tonight after work. I’ll see how that goes.
