What is a rest day?
It used to be the day Husband and I would go to the pub for Wings & Beer...but about 3 weeks ago, enough was enough, and we've ixnayed beer (thus wings - because one cannot enjoy wings without beer) from our diet.
Beer doesn't really help me, as per my doctor, I really shouldn't have yeast or sugar in my diet. What is beer made of? These things :(.
Now we're not really going out to eat, as I'm a superb chef - ok - I prepare things ahead of time, once a week stick them in the freezer, and take them out the morning of said meal so we have no excuses not to eat delicious, yet healthy, meals. That's a whole post on its own.
Back to topic - What the heck is Insanity Max 30? It's this:
It's crazy.
It's intense.
It's Shaun T. Who refers to himself in the third person ALL the time.
Systic would like to refer to herself in third person as well, but I don't have the pizzazz for it today. That's all I got.
As mentioned previously, I'm a normal (okay, really weird, but not crazy) person. I'm 36 years old. I started workout out almost daily since October 24, 2014.
P90X3 was difficult
Focus T25 was even more difficult.
I tried to find Brazil Butt Lift (Beachbody as well), but couldn't "find" a "copy" - I really wanted to do a workout named "Bum Bum" - really, what could be wrong about that? Plus that program would result me in an awesome behind and Booty shorts! I don't really have shorts, so free shorts seemed like a good idea.
So, I already had a copy of Max30, and started it last week.
OMG. This really IS Insane. I feel like I'm going to do modified moves forever. But I'm pressing Play. And I'm going to get the Free T-Shirt as my reward. I'm like Pavlov's dog here.
Shaun stares at the camera, takes off his shirt so he can "breath" (he just wants to show us his 6-pack), people fake out in their Max Outs, Water sweat drips off the men. It's awesome.
I have sworn at him all week long. But I did it. I made it to the first of 2 rest days.
This "rest" day, I opted for the Pulse workout - kind of a neat stretching 20 minute workout - which I STILL sweat through - before heating out to Clark Kent Day job on my exhausting 9-5 shift week.
I'm guessing I burned about 192 calories based on the (can't think of the proper word - what's that word where...oh yeah) CONSENSUS provided me with the average calories burned for my weight/height.
...Above sentence - welcome to my regular brain fog! It's awesomesauce.

Hopefully Husband will wait for biking tonight, as today's mega eating plan consists of:
- Breakfast: Peanut Butter Toast & Milk
- Snacks (I eat all day long) - Grapes, Strawberries, Banana, Pretzel Sticks, Carrot Sticks, Cucumber, Almond/Peanut/Sesame Seed/Pumpkin Seed mix
- Lunch: Mixed green salad with chicken breast, cucumber, mushrooms, celery, and some sort of fat free Kraft dressing.
- Dinner - no idea - possibly homemade burgers with salad, or possibly Butter Chicken with 1/2 cup of rice & mushrooms
Dinner's a crap shoot this week as Husband is supposed to be in charge - so it really could be Hot Dogs, as we have partial leftovers in the fridge to still eat.
Biking would burn anywhere from 500-1000 calories. This biking thing has caused me to lose about 2lbs a week for the last 2 weeks despite eating more than I noted above every day. I can't eat enough calories most days. i do try!
I feel I enjoy the challenge of a healthy lifestyle, as it really can be difficult at times to not get bored with it.
Shaun T is highly motivating to help keep me interested in a workout program. 184 days in? And I'm excited for the next program, and the next, and next. The possibilities are endless (and attention grabbing).
And I want that damn free T-Shirt.
And a poutine.
