Day 57

Day 57

bootcamp 0500 - 0600
bootcamp 0710 - 0805

After a grueling morning bootcamp I needed to take a little bit more of a break than I usually do. So I started the next one a little later than I had planned, but since I am un-employed I could do that. I also have to say that last night I was with my trivia team and out till midnight with them. I was so hungry that I had stopped by a subway to get my $5 dollar footlong. Sounded good at the time, but when I woke up this morning at 3:30, I could still feel that $5 dollar footlong nestling around in my stomach. I had to still eat breakfast (Jenny Craig Pancakes and Vegan Sausage) because I need the energy for bootcamp, not to mention I need it to take my pill in the morning as well. Well into the middle of the first bootcamp I think it finally rested and was able to continue without the nauseousness. But that's that.

I've included a gross video of me rinsing out the sweat from my T-shirt just to give you a glimpse of just how hard I am working to make my dream come true. Enjoy, but not too much because that would be weird. Enjoy the rest of your day, I know I will :)

Day 56

Day 56

Bootcamp 0500 - 0600
Bootcamp 0630 - 0730

Yeah, still not getting easier. These circuits are so freakin' hard. I put my shirt on the shower curtain rod and moments later, I see it start to drip. Gross I know, but you have no idea. Good news though I now know what a side push-up is, bad news.... I now know what a side push-up is. I must say that I am surprised that I am not sore (currently knocking on wood). Even though it is difficult it is do-able, and eventually I will get better. Till tomorrow blog followers, aka Mom and Dad.

Monday to Monday Days 48 - 55

Day 48

Bootcamp 0500 - 0600
Bootcamp 0600 - 0700

Jenny Craig -5 (which means I gained 6 since the first week)

So, clearly frustrated as far as weightloss, but let's face it I hardly consider this past week as an accomplishment with missing a few bootcamps here and there. As far as bootcamp goes I went to 2 of my class bootcamps, no Insanity today (which is scheduled as recovery week)

Day 49

Bootcamp 0500 - 0600
Bootcamp N/A

I bowed out of the second bootcamp today. Not really sure what happened today. I am still a bit lazy, and I figure since it is recovery week in Insanity, if I just do my normal bootcamp, that should qualify as recovery for the second one. Like I said Lazy....but also have a huge day tomorrow.

Day 50

Bootcamp 0500 - 0600
DISNEYLAND 1030 - 2130

Today is the day I go to Disneyland to celebrate one of my good friend's 40th birthday. I actually did really well today as far as eating, for I did not eat anything at Disneyland- just made myself a protein shake, one Jenny craig energy bar, 1 orange, and 1 bag of Jenny Craig popcorn, and I have to say I indulged a little and had 1 of those cream cheese filled pretzels (I know, but so good). In the day I feel pretty proud of myself, at night not so much. At the end of the day we all felt so tired, so on the way back, after dropping off all my friends, I went to pizza hut to order a pizza and chicken wings.....I had nothing all day, and I was starving and exhausted, pizza sounded so good.

Day 51

Bootcamp N/A
Bootcamp N/A

Do you honestly blame me. Disneyland was the cause of missing both bootcamps today, still so tired. All I did today was sleep......and finish the leftover pizza and chicken wings (I KNOW, bad DREW)

Day 52

Bootcamp 0500 - 0600
Bootcamp 0700 - 0800

So back to a normal day today. I did the recovery exercise of bootcamp #2 and I have to say I know, now, why it is recovery. It is very slow and burns in each exercise but does not make you huff and puff like the other days. What a relief......

Day 53 Saturday....

Bootcamp N/A

Yes I took another day off. Leave me alone. I have been working my ass off (Literally) for the last month and a half or so.... This is the last day before the storm which is....... INSANITY MAX!

Day 54

Rest Day

Shut up! Yes another rest day, I get it.

Day 55

Bootcamp 0500 - 0600
Bootcamp 0650 - 0750

Jenny Craig -15.8

First can I say, Holy EFFFING CRAP! Insanity Max is quite difficult. It's an hour opposed to 40-50 minutes. Each circuit feels like my shoulders are going to collapse. I feel like I am going to die! Ok now that that is done,

Jenny Craig not too shabby. I finally started losing weight again. Yay me!

Holy Crap that bootcamp hurt... Sorry for saying it again, but it really did.

Sunday To Sunday Days 40 - 47

Day 40

bootcamp 1500 - 1540

Sunday, Mother's Day: So after a weird schedule I was finally able to do my cardio recovery. I realize today (Day 47) I should have done it sooner.....

Day 41

Bootcamp 0500 - 0600
Bootcamp 0600 - 0700

Instead of doing 1 morning class and doing insanity, I just decided to double up the morning class. I hadn't seen my cousin for awhile, because he was sick, so I wanted to hang around and be his partner for the next hour. It was weight day, so it was tough, but do-able.

As Far as Jenny Craig was concerned I had gained 4 lbs. UGH! But as I said earlier, the weight will be bouncing around, but still, UGH!

Day 42

Bootcamp 0600-0700
Bootcamp #2 N/A

Instead of my trouble with the alarm, our bootcamp leader had the trouble this time. She had overslept and missed the first class, so I stayed at the facility until the second class started. I didn't have a chance to do insanity that day. On a good note though while our instructor was setting up for the 0600 class, I had a chance to get my measurements done. I lost 8% body fat since the first week of bootcamp (Totally makes up for how I felt at Jenny Craig), and most of the body measurements stayed the same, but the difference is, Not Flabby. You can now definitely see muscle development across my body, where it used to just be jiggly.

Day 43

Bootcamp 0500 - 0600
Bootcamp #2 N/A

So I woke up today and wasn't feeling all that great. I think I must have eaten something yesterday because this morning, not good. And to add to it, My quads (Upper leg muscles) felt like they were going to bust out of my thighs. SO STIFF. The one thing I will say about my Bootcamp class, she loves to do legs, and man do I feel it. Because I wasn't feeling that great I opted out of the Insanity bootcamp afterward.

Day 44 + 45

NO BOOTCAMPS AT ALL :(

Today and Yesterday I woke up late and missed my bootcamps, STUPID ALARM! I also do believe I needed to take a small break from bootcamp because of the day of not feeling as well as just being too sore. Unfortunately that also meant I was taking the final week of normal Insanity off as well. Not sure what the plan is. Next week is a whole week of Cardio core and balance (or also known as Recovery Week) before I hit the Insanity Max Training!!!!! I am thinking I am going to go ahead with the Recovery week plan and just keep going on schedule even though I hit a snag with this week.

Day 46

bootcamp 0900-0950

Today I felt like a lazy ass, so I did my Insanity Bootcamp today. The first day after two days of nothing. It felt good, and fairly easy (Still hard, but a vast difference from the first week which is what I mean by easy). I am much more confident today about my decision to do the recovery week the following and moving on to the Insanity MAX!

As a side note I am glad I took a little break because I saw my cousin after the bootcamp session and he told me the morning class has been increasing in intensity and my instructor is tearing it up in class. UH OH!

Day 47

Relax day before the storm. I am going to be bringing it for the next 5 weeks. No more bullshit, and no more excuses, THIS IS IT. Sounds confident.....I AM.

This is now the end of a crappy week and the beginning of bigger and brighter things to come. Here I go.

Days 38 + 39

Day 38

Bootcamp 0600-0700
Bootcamp #2 didn't happen :(

I woke up this morning at 0500 and was mad at my alarm clock for never going off. I was happy, though, that i did wake up at 5 on my own instead of waking up too too late. Since my bootcamp was an hour later, I went into the jacuzzi afterwards, at my parents place, to still have my daily dad visit. We make sure we are both on track on the diet, and shoot the shit, kind of how we used to when we worked together. I did not do the second bootcamp because my daily routine was off, so now for the week I missed 2 2nd Bootcamps, which I was not happy about, especially on Saturday.

Day 39

Bootcamp 0520-0600
Bootcamp 0815-0900

So both bootcamps were the two bootcamps I missed through the week. I have never done two insanity bootcamps after eachother, and for good reason. TOGETHER THEY KICKED MY ASS. That is why I waited a couple hours to recover from the first one. After missing one 2nd bootcamp the schedule was thrown off for the week, and then after the second one, it was just chaos. Cardio recovery is typically every wednesday, but since I did bootcamp on monday and nothing on tuesday, I decided to do a cardio workout on wednesday, and save the recovery till saturday, by which point I would do it after saturday's planned cardio workout. Then when i missed on friday, I now had to do 2 cardios on saturday and push the recovery back till sunday. I know u guys are sitting there saying who cares, but I am working hard to do this, and when things get messed up everything regarding my bootcamp schedule everything has to shift. Not only that but recovery is extremely important, and when that gets pushed, I get more sore throughout the week.

There is something though that I am afraid of and happy for, and that is, this is my last week of normally insanity training. Next week is Cardio and balance (for the whole week), and then it is MAX Insanity for the month. That first week will be interesting.

Days 35 + 36 + 37

Day 35

Bootcamp 1 nope
Bootcamp 2 nope

Unfortunately I was feeling crappy today and ended up not going to bootcamp. I woke up at 0430 and got dressed. Sat down at the computer and I just felt a little lightheaded and dehydrated. I looked over at the clock and it read 0500, which was the time bootcamp started. I debated on whether to go and be 5-10 mins. late. I decided to wait till the 0600 and lay down for a little. Next thing I knew I woke up at 0820 and still didn't feel all that great. So no bootcamp for either session. :(

Day 36

Bootcamp 1 0500-0600
Bootcamp 2 0650-0730

I wasn't feeling 100 percent myself today, but I went to bootcamp regardless. I was so glad to go because I actually felt great afterwards. I haven't seen my cousin for awhile and decided to wait around the gymnasium to see if he'd show up. After about 20 mins. of waiting and debating whether I should do Bootcamp 1 again, I left. I didn't do it again, because I wanted to do Insanity today as well, because that too was neglected yesterday. I got home, sat at the computer to do some "brief" chores on the time sucking box, which is why Bootcamp 2 clocked in at 0650. My pool is being re-something and I now learn that it won't be done until June 15. So now after Bootcamp 1, I drive home to do bootcamp 2, then get back into the car and go to my parents place and use their pool/jacuzzi, then after, drive home and take a shower. Long morning..... But it's worth it.

Day 37

bootcamp 1 0500-0600
bootcamp 2 0630-0710

Felt great today: whatever wasn't working seemed to fix itself. Did both bootcamps, went to my parent's place and even did a few laps in the pool before the jacuzzi. Yesterday I did our bootcamp relay, which consisted of bicep curls + lunges, 2x instead of just once. Then today we did push-ups, and lots of things that involved plank position. Bootcamp 2 then reinforced the plank postions, along with burpies and push-up jacks. No wonder when I got into the pool my arms basically said, REALLY! And my brain just told them, "Suck it up, Upper Body strength." After the few laps my arms won the argument. I'll get back at them, because tomorrow is weight (fitness weights not body weight) day again. My arms shall not be thrilled with me after the two hours are done for tomorrow. Bring it on is all I gotta say at this point.

Oh and as a side note. I saw briefly what it is in store for Insanity Bootcamp (BC #2) for month 2, and I MAY JUST DIE. The one workout I saw is longer and more hard core. Luckily I have 2.5 weeks more to prep for it. I hope I make it out of this regiment alive to even go to Greece.
