Nutrition/Eating Log


Monday: Back from a very busy AASL/ProQuest booth -- lots of librarians stopping by to learn more about our online learning and research tools, many long-time customers saying "thanks," and a good time was had by all in Charlotte, NC.

Had Will's early local birthday party yesterday in downtown Raleigh, good times -- LEGO party/store for the second grade/age 8 win. Pictures and more soon.

Rock your week, people! Bring it!

Tuesday: Blew out the circuit, all the moves, a few short extra breaks thrown in when I was maxed out. Still less than the young folks in the screen -- you know it.

After 9+ weeks of Insanity, I can honestly say that my breathing and heart rate are spiking in a very clean way. What I mean is... deep breaths, not a hint of wheezing or chest tightness at all -- ZERO -- and my muscles are now used to being maxed out, lightly rested between sets and moves, and I'm getting to the end of each interval program bathed in sweat, feeling solidly rocked, and able to recover pretty quickly.

Can't say enough good things about Insanity, Beachbody, or Shaun T.

This program works, and works YOU, in amazing ways that go well beyond P90X, P90X+, and Power 90 as a starter program. I think it's a MUST-add to any Beachbody lifelong workout plan.

My .02 cents -- if you're new and out of shape (like I was in 2006!) start with Power 90, level 1-2 for 30 days, then level 2-3 for 60. Then, take a week off, then do a P90X Classic 90-day program. Take a week off. Then hit Insanity for 60 days. Week off, then cycle back and add workouts from One on One with Tony Horton, P90X+, P90X, and Insanity together into your own free-form, lifelong plan:

Monday: P90X weight/resistance program
Tuesday: Insanity Interval program
Wednesday: P90X pull-up/heavy resistance
Thursday: P90X Yoga X
Friday: Insanity Interval program
Saturday: P90X+ Kenpo Plus OR Insanity Interval Program OR One on One w/TH Program
Sunday: REST or P90X Stretch X

Just a thought. Any thoughts/questions/feedback? Email me at timothymclain at yahoo.com. Anytime.
