Pics! Pics!

I've taken too long to post these. I've started month 2 on Insanity, and wanted to quickly update progress.

Day0: BF - 20.3%
Day28: BF - 17.3%

Day 25 - Cardio Recovery and Ab Ripper X

I took yesterday off since it was my 32nd birthday and I knew I was going to cheat on my diet. Today is day 25 and I'm seeing visible changes. I took some pictures that I will upload with my next post. I also did a BF% to see what and how much has changed. I'm excited to share the results, but will do so after I finish this week.
Today I combined Ab Ripper X with Cardio Recovery just to get some oomph.

I struggled a lot with Ab Ripper X, it is the most insane abs workout. Now I think I'm going to include that or replace cardio abs with it.

Its a friday and i'm going to push tomorrow and day after with plyo cardio circuit and Pure Cardio (holy crap again!)

Day 24 - Upper Body Weight Training

So I've altered my schedule to include at least 1 UBWT. Today I replaced Plyo Cardio Circuit with UBWT. I love this routine, the workouts at different, a combination of resistance training mixed with a bit of plyo like the power jumps, genius!!

I have a feeling that the change in schedule is working. I need to work my pecs so the UBWT will help me do just that.

Since I took 2 days off last week, I have been going non stop since last Sat.
I was planning to skip tomorrow, but since it is cardio recovery, its like a day off.

I should've seen my previous post on UBTW.

Notes to myself
A. UPP the weights, go for the 30 lbs on shoulder presses
B. slowly include weights in the weight push ups
C. Use 30's for arms.

Day 23 - Cardio Power and Resistance

Motivation Meter (0 - 5) - 4.
Sore -o- meter (0 - 5) - 4. I was actually quite sore from yesterday. I think because I'm out of whey and not able to recover well.
Nausea Meter
(0 -5) - 3.

Ups - Pushed myself although I was exhausted at 35 minutes.
Downs - not much
Notes to myself -
A. Dig deeper, and get your mind right before the workout.

Day 22 - Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs

Not the best workout for a Monday morning. I'm glad I did my previous workout 24 hours back on Sunday morning, this gave me ample time to rejuvenate. Pure Cardio is pretty tough especially since he takes fewer breaks after the "stretch". I'm just glad I did both workouts.

Motivation Meter (0 - 5) - 4.
Sore -o- meter (0 - 5) - 2.
Nausea Meter
(0 -5) - 2.

Ups - Not much today
Downs - sucked at cardio abs
Notes to myself -
during the workout.

Day 21 - Plyo Cardio Circuit

This morning I woke up fired up to do Plyo cardio circuit. Since I missed 2 days this week, I was hoping to kick this up a notch. Didn't happen, too many thoughts, frustrated with my diet plan, also noticing a little change in waist, I kept getting dragged away. Tony's words - "Clear your mind, stay in the moment" kept me on track a little bit. I did manage to finish 70% of the workout, but I'm surprised at how little progress I"m making especially during the drills.
At this point I'm going to focus on burning more goo. Here's a summary

Motivation Meter (0 - 5) - 4.
Sore -o- meter (0 - 5) - 2. Not sore after the workout but the pain during the drills kept me from finishing some workouts.
Nausea Meter
(0 -5) - 2.

Ups - Pushed myself although I was exhausted at 35 minutes.
Downs - Couldn't finish workouts.
Notes to myself -
A. find a way to stay energetic during the workouts.
B. Find a way to check how many calories were burned during the workout.
