oh, one thing to note...
My left knee has started to hurt. At first I thought it was the weather, as it hurts more in the cold (a well-deserved thank you goes out to two accidents that are to blame for permanently injuring my knee); but now I'm wondering if it's this exercise + stop & go traffic (this morning I spent 6:30-7:10AM driving about 3 miles. Apparently that's what happens when a big rig turns on its side and the driver is unconscious.) or if it really is just the cold. Hopefully it's not the exercise and it's just the cold, as I don't want to stop exercising...
Insanity, Day 27: Plyometrics
Hmm, yesterday was good. My eating was good. Well it was good in terms of when I ate; I brought food to work and ate it when I wanted to which was awesome.
Soy protein smoothie
Cantelope
Watermelon
Grapes
Asian Pear
Banh mi chay
Spinach salad with nuts (some were candied pecans...), dried cranberries, golden raisins
Some garlic, onion, something else crackers which I won't ever eat again
Yogurtland (that's a good post-workout food, right..? I had a LOT of candy in that though!! probably a ton of HFCS and definitely a ton of sugar)
I've been mostly keeping to my sleep schedule, falling asleep around 8:30 and waking up at 5; I haven't committed to making veggie juice in the morning yet.. ugh, and those veggies are getting really old. I'm still really tired though. I remembered that it's not just how much you sleep, but it's also when you sleep, which might explain why I'm tired all the time despite getting 8.5 hours of sleep.
Yesterday's Plyometrics was tough. Level 1 drills and all those push ups are really hard for me. I have no upper body strength. However, I have been noticing that my biceps are getting harder when I flex, and when I push my hips forward at a certain angle with the right light and flex hard I can kiiiind of notice some definition in my stomach. I still have this layer of fat covering my abs which is creating this almost 4-pack look, I think. Convenient how my fat arranges itself into packs, huh? My thighs are still big... and my love handles still bug me. Mmmm.. need more time, and to stop eating Yogurtland at night. (But I'm one check-in from being Mayor on Foursquare!!!!)
