Insanity Day 5: Plyometric Cardio Circuit

Well today was day 5 of Insanity! I woke up a little earlier to make sure I packed 3 meals for work (breakfast, lunch and afternoon "snack") Of course though the raspberries I brought were bad and I forgot my string cheese...So here goes my meals for the day:
Breakfast: 1 Whole wheat English muffin with Jiff natural peanut butter (approx 2.5tbs) with 1 cup cantaloupe.
Lunch: 1/2 Whole wheat bagel with a mixture of whipped cream cheese and 1.5-2oz of smoked salmon.  I had some raspberries with this until I realized some were bad....eww.  Also had about 8oz of water.
Afternoon snack: (I forgot about my snack at work so I made this at home), 3 eggs with low fat cheddar cheese (with some garlic powder and pepper) rolled up in a whole wheat tortilla.  I also drank about 12oz of water.
Dinner: (not so great). Tostitos (about 12) with 97/3 lean ground turkey and about 1/8 cup of shredded low fat cheddar cheese (melted on the chips in the microwave) dipped in low fat sour cream.  I had with dinner my protein shake.  This had 1 cup of almond milk, 1 banana, 1/4 cup of vanilla Greek yogurt and 1 scoop of chocolate peanut butter whey protein powder.


Today's workout was a repeat of the first day's workout.  Plyometric Cardio Circuit. So I kind of knew what to expect (though I forgot what all it entailed since I have done a different workout every day so far).  This was no easier the second time around.  I was dripping by the time the warm up was complete.  I looked forward to every water break.  The squat jumps just burned my already sore legs.  What really hurt was the last round where you do a squat to a basketball shoot pose and go up and down like that for a while.  Then go down to the basic drill of up down, 4 push ups, mountain climber, in and back up...over and over for a while. Then you move from push up position and move your legs in to the side, then back to push up position, then move them back in to the other side.  Then you go to out and in over and over which my arms were so weak at that point I was trying everything just to get "out" to push up position then back in to the "frog" position.  The first time I did that round it was hard....but the 3rd time I did that round I was dying.  OMG I was tired.  It took every ounce of energy to get those last sets in.  I have a feeling my arms will hurt tomorrow.


Tomorrow is my first scheduled rest day!
