Today was Max Interval Plyo, the most muscle-intensive workout of Insanity. Burned 841 calories in 55 minutes. Plyo will always burn less calories than cardio since it doesn't keep your heart rate up all the time. My shoulders felt a bit better today so I modified less and did almost all of the push-up/plank stuff. I also started my Cosamin DS regimen yesterday, so it will be interesting to see if it makes a difference on the old joints.
My diet is going very well this week. The amount of fruit and veggies I've eaten is crazy, and my weight is falling off again. Down another pound from yesterday. I know I said I didn't have a goal weight, but I've changed my mind. I do now, at least for this round of Insanity. I don't have an overall goal weight, however. I'll never (and probably should never) weigh what I did when I first met my wife Meghan. It was 172, and I'm 6'2". God I miss that metabolism! You may be thinking, "Wow he must've been really active", but believe me I was not. Aside from some intramural football (like 10 games total) and skiing a couple days a year, I basically got no exercise all through college. It was just good metabolism, because it certainly wasn't diet. I wasn't some starving college kid. I ate everything in sight. I would sit down with a 16" pizza, fold it in half, and eat it like a big taco. And I'd do this multiple times a week! Anyway, I'd be pretty happy being somewhere between where I was in college and where I started before Insanity, but we'll see!
I'm really feeling great overall and am now enjoying Month 2. Those first few days were a real test, though, and I don't miss them at all.
Sorry for the blurry picture. My hand was shaking from all the push-ups! It also looks like we're on a 5-day laundry cycle at my house because I'm wearing the same shirt from Day 40. I'd say I need more T-Shirts, but my wife would correctly disagree! :)
