Insanity, Day 10: Plyometric Cardio Circuit; Insanity, Day 12: Cardio Power & Resistance

Was crazy busy over the weekend, as it was Tet and my family was celebrating and a trip to Mt. High was much overdue (which took Day 11 unintentionally, oops :( ). I started a blog entry Saturday after my work out and did not finish. I'll mesh Saturday's and today's together.

From Saturday:
Woooooooooo plyometrics once again! Unfortunately I could not last through this morning's warm up straight through :( I woke up, ate a banana, went to the farmers market and then went home and worked out. I started to get a teensy bit dizzy a bit more into it but not too bad. For the suicide drills (side steps and touch the floor) I found out that if I keep my head up (even as my body goes down) I am fine. I don't think I'll ever climb again with the hatred I'm building up for mountain climbers. The Level 1 drills killed me every single time. I always feel like I'm doing them wrong, too... I am paranoid that my butt sticks up all the time. The problem with those ab exercises is that my wrists start to hurt.

Ok, going to figure out my stupid eating plan once and for all.

INTAKE
Total calorie intake goal per day: 1600-1800
Ratio protein/carbs/fat (in percentage): 50/30/20
Ratio protein/carbs/fat (in calories): 800/480/320 - 900/540/360
Ratio protein/carbs/fat (in grams): 200/120/35 - 250/135/40

SCHEDULE
Eat every 3 hours.
Wake up at 5; sleep at 9. Do not eat carbs after 6.
start eating at 5:30-6.
 --end Saturday's post--

Saturday was interrupted by Tet and family getting togetherness. Which also included foods. I tried not to eat too bad, but I know a lot of my intake was made of carbs. Dinner wasn't too bad -- just noodles and vegetables and I didn't overeat.

The times I wasn't eating was spent at my computer trying to figure out my eating schedule. I actually spent the majority of the time looking at protein powders. I settled on hemp seed protein powder in the daytime because it has carbs (and I don't want to eat carbs at night), as it's considered raw food, it's not soy (I eat so much soy as it is) and it supposedly digests better. I bought some soy powder for nighttime; it's soy protein isolate, so it's like, 95% straight protein. Doing research on which protein powders took up SO much of my time.

I then put together this chart. Ok, this actually took me Saturday and today and I'm still not done. I broke down the ratios of protein/carbs/fat and I wrote out all my food I should eat and the caloric make of each food. That was the boring part. Anyway, the link is here in case you are curious: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AuAig4JmwgpWdE1BU1ZrS1lNWEdaVVZuZXhTSFlFZGc&hl=en

Blargh, boyfriend is telling me to hit the hay because he's a good influence. Will have to continue this tomorrow. for now, my 2 gripes with the workouts are:
nag 1: the Heisman is NOT the Heisman
nag 2: i need to do something with my hair
