Day58: Plyometrics

I didn't get my usual feeling of "high" after cardio workout. It was tiring. I wonder if it is because that we have not done much of cardio for 10 days, since last week was our recovery week. It was hard. I felt sleepy the entire time and it was early in the morning. I hadn't feel this way since the days we were doing Insanity. Either I couldn't get enough oxygen while working out or I didn't get enough sleep last night. The Jump Knee Tuck was hard, and once we get to Rock Star Hop, I was about to bite somebody's head off. It was 10 degrees in the garage (prob 20), we started out with stocking caps, layers of pans and warm-ups, by the time we are doing Twist Combo, I was in my sports bra and shorts. I probably finished 50 out of 64oz daily water quota by 8 o'clock and I did not have to run to the bath room. My arms are sore from yesterday, my back are sore, my shoulders are sore, it was like P90x day one again.

We suppose to go into the phase 3 on diet too, which means increasing carb and decreasing protein. Seriously, should I? The nutrition guide said: "An athletic diet of complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and lower fat with an emphasis on more carbohydrates. You'll need this combination of foods as fuel to get the most out of your final training block and truly get in the best shape of your life!" Well ... when I look at the nutrition plan, I actually like it better, since I don't have to eat as much meat and can eat more carbs. Let me try it and we'll see.
