Dig Deep
Posted on Jan 10, 2012 under Daily Log, Insanity Workout | No Comment
Been a while since I posted and you’ll be happy to know I’ve been digging deep and currently on Day 22 of Insanity. I mentioned before that I’m not following the calendar verbatim since I’m taking weekends off and also substituting Recovery Days with Upper Body Weight Training, awesome workout by the way if you want to incorporate weights. Since I had two off periods (Christmas and New Year’s break, 3 days off each time) I’ve decide to use the Recovery Week as another week of Month 1 workouts. I’ll take the weekend off and then jump right into Month 2 with the Max workouts.
My diet has been really good over the last two weeks and I lost a few pounds but not nearly as much as I was hoping for, however, I can clearly see and feel the difference. I expect a decrease in weight come month 2 since the workouts are a bit longer and you burn even more calories with the workouts lasting about 10 minutes longer compared to month 1. I’m going to start incorporating a bit more running over the next couple of weeks to really get the metabolism going and maybe a spin class or two as well.
More good news the lower abdominal pain is getting better by the day, I can actually sneeze and cough with very little pain. I really think the pain was caused by fatigue with all the cardio I was doing for the Ironman. Speaking of which I’m planning on doing a couple sprint Tri’s and 5k’s this year with my mind set on an Ironman come 2013, which one I just don’t know yet.
Till next time, I run do you?
