Day 9 Workout and Drinks...
Today I added an Amino Acid Supplement to my Post-workout cocktail. I want to see if it helps any with the recovery process. It is called Amino Vital & comes in a little crystal light pack that you would use in a water bottle. I got mine at the Vitamin Shoppe (link on the right under resources).

I was much better this time through (comparied to the first time I did it).

Insanity Gone Crazy!!!!
I know your about to ask "What in the World am I talking about". I am starting Day 8 of Insanity and the workout by itself is not enough for me. I know I sound like I have gone off the deep end, but I need more. There is not enough lifting or power resistance training in the workout for me to contenue to grow or gain muscle mass. I also need more concentration on abs. I know everything you do in these videos are supose to work the core, but "I need more CowBell"!!! I will be adding in a few sets of Chest moves and dynamic abs exercises to my routene to see if it helps...

Even the TV studs and Chicks Had to take breaks in the middle of the work out, so that makes me feel a lil better...
We will see How Plyo goes after an eight mile run tomorrow...

Day 3 AM eats...
Ok, I think I have come up with a plan for my caloric intake...
~I will eat 500 cal with each main meal
~Consume 150 - 250 calories in Drinks
~I will eat 400 - 600 calories in snacks a day
All of witch must be high in Protein or at least a 50/50 split at the end of the day!!!
Even if I max out on all of these I will be sitting at 2350 daily calories. For me to maintain my current weight I needed to consume 3500 calories while doing these workouts. I am still over 1000 calories under, so I need to keep an eye on that.
What happens to me when I go crazy deficient on calories, is I binge or pig out. I need to make sure I am getting enough through out the day, as to not let that happen.
Starting the day off with 2 count them 1, 2 Kashi bars (280 cal) and a large cup of Java (150 cal)

Which is not enough at all.... My body needs 2500-3000 calories a day while doing these workouts.
I will get in more snacks through out the day to help with this from now on. My body probably thinks it's starving... No worries there is plenty of fat stored away for one day, but I need to make sure I fuel myself right so that I am not depleting muscle tissue. I will rethink all of this tomorrow AM.

Mid-Day eats & a word on Protein Drinks...
I'm not really going by the Insanity eating plan, but I am eating well and staying under my allotted caloric intake...
After my protein drink I ate 6oz of Premium Chunk Light Tuna (180 cal in a water pack). it is best to eat fresh everything and nothing out of a can, because of the preservatives that are used in packaging. But, I am cheap and don't have the time to grill Tuna, so it is what it is.
With all foods if you can eat it fresh, do so!!! It is what is best for you, Mama says...
One word on Protein drinks:
You need protein to help in the muscle building process. The more muscle we have the more energy or food we need to support those muscles. Muscle also weighs more that fat and helps us burn more fat.
With all of that said, protein drinks and bars are easy ways to add some extra protein to our diets.
Be careful when choosing a protein drink or bar. Most are high in calories as well as sugar. When looking for a protein supplement I use the following criteria:
~Lowest Carbs
~Less than 150 calories
~At least 20grams of Protein
~Cost
~Taste
Here are the two that I drink:
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/4ever/fruit.html
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/dym/elite.html
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quick Tip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many people can't get over the taste of protein supplements. If you are one of those people give this a try. Mix your protein powder in with water and add one packet of calorie free Chrystal light. It will take some of the edge off and taste much more bearable!!!
After my protein drink I ate 6oz of Premium Chunk Light Tuna (180 cal in a water pack). it is best to eat fresh everything and nothing out of a can, because of the preservatives that are used in packaging. But, I am cheap and don't have the time to grill Tuna, so it is what it is.
With all foods if you can eat it fresh, do so!!! It is what is best for you, Mama says...
One word on Protein drinks:
You need protein to help in the muscle building process. The more muscle we have the more energy or food we need to support those muscles. Muscle also weighs more that fat and helps us burn more fat.
With all of that said, protein drinks and bars are easy ways to add some extra protein to our diets.
Be careful when choosing a protein drink or bar. Most are high in calories as well as sugar. When looking for a protein supplement I use the following criteria:
~Lowest Carbs
~Less than 150 calories
~At least 20grams of Protein
~Cost
~Taste
Here are the two that I drink:

Day 2 Workout & Workout Drinks
15-30 min before work out. Pre-Workout drink REPS Pre-Workout Intensifier Cherry Pie (15 cal)
Insanity plyometric Cardio Circuit: 45 min
Wow, Good start to the program. The moves are not too hard that you can't do them, but trying to finish all of the reps is!!!
I would finish the first set all the way through, but when it came to the second two sets I would have to rest the last 10 seconds of the exercise.
We will see how I feel tomorrow in the AM.
Right after the workout. Post-Workout drink Fruit Blast Protein ( 120 cal, 3 carbs, 22 Protein)
