As I've been saying the past couple of days, I'm making up for skipping my Memorial Day workout, but as of today I'm back on track. I'm skipping the Recovery day instead, which I suppose you could argue is not a good idea, but I feel great and am not concerned about doing 5 days in a row. Fitness instructors do that every week, so no big deal.
I must say I felt really, really good today. I completed Plyometric Cardio Circuit, which was one of my favorite workouts from Round 1. I had really nice, round numbers for today, burning exactly 700 calories (a personal best for Round 2 of Insanity), with my heart rate peaking at 180 and averaging 150. As good as that is, I continue to be a little frustrated at how much harder I have to work to burn calories now that I'm thinner. I just looked back at one of Round 1 blogs from Day 10 Plyo, and I burned 740 calories. Of course, I weighed almost 30 pounds more than I do now, but still...frustrating!
Regardless, I've lost the weight I gained over Memorial Day weekend, so I'm feeling great about Round 2 so far. Only two more days of Month 1, then it's a whole week of recovery workouts before Month 2 begins.
Please note there won't be a Day 25 post, because today technically is Day 25. See you tomorrow for Day 26!
