Day 61 & Day 62

Day 61 Max Interval Plyo was yesterday and it went very well. I am thinking the workout should be getting easier after 60 days but it is still such a challenge. I think it is because I am improving and you end up pushing that much harder so it is still exhausting.

Today, we went with the kids to the Nashville Sounds game. They got to go for the school reading club since they read the required amount of books. It was sunny and hot. The principal ended up leaving at the bottom of the 5th inning because of the heat. We ended up bringing the girls home and I took them down to the pool for several hours - it was a great vacation day. I came inside and took a 2 hour nap! I haven't been sleeping that great and this workout is wearing me out. I am looking forward to a few days off. During this time I will decide what I am going to do next. I am thinking P90X/Insanity hybrid.

Tonight was Day 62 - Max Cardio Conditioning & Cardio Abs. I completed the cardio conditioning and was exhausted. Since I was so tired, my form was getting bad so I figured I would do cardio abs tomorrow evening after the final fit test.

Day 60 - Core Cardio & Balance

Day 60 is complete! I really needed the shorter (37 minute) workout tonight as it was Monday and I was exhausted before it even began. I pushed hard though and it felt great. I had several doubts along the way but I am glad I kept pushing...only 2 days left!! Then I will probably take a full week off, maybe run a couple times and then start another round of Insanity or do a hybrid P90X/Insanity. Either one will help me reach the next level.

Day 59 - Max Interval Circuit

Happy Mother's Day! Went to church & then wife wanted O'Charley's so we went and had a nice lunch. I ate the California Grilled Chicken Salad so hopefully I didn't totally ruin the diet. When we got home she wanted to sit outside in the sun so we headed down to the pool. The pool is finally starting to clear up. The water temp is still extremely cold but kids didn't seem to mind - they swam for a few hours! I took an hour nap at around 4pm and then completed day 59 - Max Interval Circuit. I was so exhausted when I was done that I ended up having another P90X Results & Recovery formula packet after I was finished. Such a great recovery drink.

Day 58 - Max Cardio Conditioning & Cardio Abs

I paced myself through all the yard work & working on the pool today so I would still have enough energy to get through the workout. It was an excellent workout. I was exhausted at the end but afterwards the P90X Results & Recovery formula REALLY helped!

Day 55, 56 & 57

Day 55 was Core Cardio and Balance. It is about a 47 minute workout and it was a much needed workout because, although it is still a challenge, it is a little less intense than the others.

Day 56 was my day off. I was going to workout but really needed a break to get through these next few days.

Today was Day 57 Max Interval Plyo - this is such an intense workout. I am exhausted but at the same time I feel energetic because I actually completed the workout. This program is a challenge not only physically but also mentally because at times you do not think you're going to make it through to the end. Then you "dig deep" and accomplish things you never thought your body could actually do.

6 days left!!

Day 54 Max Interval Circuit

Day 54 is completed. About 3/4 of the way through, I realized doing Max Plyo last night may have been a bad idea as my knees were killing me. Also, the pushups from last night didn't help when it came down to full body drills with moving pushups!! I pushed all the way through and felt like I did much better. Only 1 day left until my day "rest" day or day off. I may do Cardio Recovery instead of taking a night off. It'll depend on how I feel. These last workouts seem to be the hardest but I want me free t-shirt!!

Day 53 - Max Recovery

I decided to replace today's Max Recovery workout with Saturday's missed workout - Max Interval Plyo. Very challenging...felt a little nauseous at the end but pushed through.

Day 49 thru Day 52

Last Thursday was Day 49 and was my one day off. I really enjoyed it. Friday was Day 50 - Max Interval Circuit and I had an excellent workout. The only downside I've had lately is a slight pain in my neck and it only happens when I turn my neck a certain way. I used to experience this when I would run without taking a day off in between runs. It is no big deal.

Saturday, Day 51 Max Interval Plyo - I missed this workout. This is the 3rd workout that I have missed during the entire program. The 1st workout was missed due to a work event (hockey game) but it was a recovery type workout. The 2nd workout was missed due to a stomach bug and vomiting. This workout was missed because I worked outside from 9:30am until 8pm. I dug up dirt, put down weed mat and used 36 bags of landscape rock to backfill at the end of my driveway. Next I mowed the grass and burned the brush pile. By the time I got inside to workout, I was exhausted and had nothing left. They say you have to listen to your body and rest when it tells you to rest. Yesterday was one of those days. I probably burned just as many calories doing the work outside so I do not feel bad.

Today was Day 52, Max Cardio Conditioning and Cardio Abs. Extremely challenging but very fulfilling when completed. Felt great.

Only 10 days left!! Very exciting but I will probably need to repeat Month 2 in order to see the results I am wanting.
