Insanity, Day 38 & 39: Max Cardio Conditioning, Take I and II

Alrighty, one drawback of Insanity is that.. you need to either own your own house, live on the first floor or have no one under you. Keith, Albert and I got through 20 minutes of Max Cardio Conditioning before our downstairs neighbors in our cabin knocked on their ceiling / our floor so we were forced to stop unfortunately. It sucked because I was so determined to get through it, I almost went outside, but there was no room other than the street. Plus it was around 20-30 degrees outside (but if there was room I would have done it!). Turns out I like working out with other people for the most part. It encourages me to stay in the game and look good.

Sunday I drove home, and I was so pooped from driving that long and boarding for 2 days + some Insanity I decided to give myself a break. Last night I re-did Max Cardio Conditioning, and let me tell you, it's a good thing we stopped when we did! So much more jumping involved, lol. And it was SO difficult. I've lost track of how many times I got nauseated from working out. I think I'm on #4 or #5. I was getting really dizzy and throw uppy during the stuff you have to get up and down for and this was so intense that my previous method of keeping my head down or up wasn't working too well. But I trucked through it somehow, and I'm glad I did. My thighs are sore though which prohibited me from doing some of the workouts. Not sure if they're sore from Insanity or snowboarding.. probably both. Anyway, this means I'm 2 days behind, so I'll skip a rest day and maybe deal with finishing Insanity a day later than planned.

Food-wise, I think I've been pretty good for the past 3 days; had an ice cream cone and a dessert crepe, but that's about it for the bad stuff (SO worth it, btw). Also I had those on days I worked out hard so I don't feel bad at all. I've finally settled on eating whatever I want, just not a ton of it, with emphasis on protein.

Woke up around 4:40 this morning and was able to get out of the house by 6:08. Got to work before 7. Yay! Tired now, though.
