Insanity Day 6 - Plyo Cardio Training

Actually its getting easier to the workouts now, but I still need breaks time and again but hopefully I can keep up as we move into Week 3 or something. Now I'm just worried about Month 2 cos it's supposed to be even more insane. A week has passed with my insanity workouts and I've been able to keep up to work out everyday, a very important aspect is that I force myself to work out in the mornings before work cos I know if I work overtime or someone asks me out for dinner I'd be too tired to do the workouts afterwards. The hardest part of insanity for me is to cut down my alcohol intake. And on the night before Day 4, I had 8 drinks in total, I did manage to go home around midnight. It wasn't hard getting up in the morning but when I started to stretch my head was spinning. Thank god Day 4 was just Cardio Recovery and not intense at all. Then I had to go to a party that night and had around 6-7 drinks, I couldn't wake up to my morning work out so had to use my lunch to do the insanity work out. This is like life altering for me, since I'm quite the boozer, not to say i'm cutting out alcohol 100% but limiting some days to under 4 drinks is hard. But I feel like its necessary if I don't wanna feel like crap during the work out. And seriously I get really bummed out if I miss my morning workout. Am I changing into a health nut???? I'm even considering buying some Whey protein to mix into my work out, I need consult my brother...He use to compete in Triathlons and stuff..crazy...

Insanity also brought another behavioral change and its my meals, I try to follow their Elite menu and I noticed I've been cooking a lot more and preparing a lot more meals. I was able to find Tortilla wraps in Shanghai for 7rmb (20 wraps), once again thank you Tao Bao, the source of my shopping and well being. I've been making a lot of breakfast egg wraps lately too..yum!

Some meals I've cooked up...















Pork Chops topped with Swiss Cheese and Spinach
















Mexican Burrito...7rmb Tortilla Wraps..Kool...
















My Shaun T poster .... I have to constantly remind myself to take it down when I have visitors... And is it me or does Shaun T sounds girlie? And his other work out videos like Hip Hop Abs and Kids work out thingy..looks soooooo lame. And I think he actually said this at the end of one of the work outs ..
"Oh my god..what a work out..this Shi# is BANANAS!"~~ Errrrrr....
