So I took a day off yesterday because I was pretty tired, and I can skip days now if I want to... Anyway, picked back up today with Cardio Power and Resistance which is only about 40 minutes but it is definitely an intense 40 minutes and a very quality workout. I really didn't know I could sweat as much as I have the past few days...and it doesn't help that I never check if my A/C is on or off. Apparently someone doesn't like the A/C and doesn't tell me when they turn it off...
On a positive note, I no longer have to work 72 hours a week! I've been pretty exhausted lately, so the return to normal hours is seriously welcomed. Two weeks to Finland!

Insanity Trial: Day 2
So I pushed my way through day 2 of Insanity... It was rough to say the least. I thought P90X was tough at times, but I never got to a point where I couldn't continue the workout. I was actually able to keep pace with the P90Xers on just about every exercise besides the "Rock Star Hops" which I didn't keep up on because I absolutely loathed them, maybe the Dreya Rolls as well because those were pretty rough. It seems that will not be the case with Insanity. I guess I'm going to have to heed Tony Horton's P90X motto when doing Insanity: "Do your best and forget the rest!" I seriously don't think I have ever been as gassed as I was during the workout today. I'm extremely pumped to keep pushing myself to get into the best shape I possibly can and to get rid of my damn love handles!

Insanity Trial Day One
So I finished P90X last Thursday(!) and have three weeks before I'm going on a much needed vacation through the Scandinavian North and decided to give Insanity a three week trial run. I had plans to do a hybrid program just to get a look at a few of the Insanity workouts while still doing a few of the P90X workouts, but decided that three weeks of insane cardio would be an excellent idea...we'll see how this goes.
I completed the Fit Test today and my results are below. I'm going to attempt to update this thing daily (I know I suck at keeping this thing going) just to give myself a glimpse of my progress and so I can look back later and find out how much of a badass I am (or am not)!
