Day 34 CLX/Insanity

Finally Recovery week is over!!! YEAH!! The Insanity Core Cardio and Balance was a nice, easy workout this morning. I guess that's the great thing about boring routines. I told Steph, "that wasn't so bad, makes me feel nervous for Tuesday." On Tuesday this week when we did our first Insanity recovery routine it was so weird - we were all going way too fast. Now today it was like la, la, la, so I just know come this Tuesday we are going to be like WTF! Ha, ha. Aw, well. There is a reason that I'm doing a hybrid of Insanity and not the whole program.
We went grocery shopping today and stocked up for the week. I was reading through the TF food guide and she talks about the Michi's Ladder. I don't remember reading about it before, and I actually like the way it breaks everything down. It puts all the eat clean foods in one simple chart. A lot of the stuff we bought today were in the top 3 tiers, so that's pretty good. I'm going to print out a copy and stick it on my fridge so I remind myself to grab the good stuff.
I'm also working on catching up with my magazine stacks. I just read my copy of Oxygen from March. It has a section called, "Fuel your Fitness" and it's got a lot of great snack ideas. I can't wait to try Cottage Cheese Raisin Toast and the open-face curry chicken salad sandwich.
 In my Runner's World magazine I came across an ad for the Endurance Challenge 5K Trail race at Great Falls Park!!! I'm definitely signing up for this one. It should be a lot of fun. It's on June 3rd. There is no way strollers will be allowed on the trail, but Chris should be here so that shouldn't be an issue.

I'm excited for this week's new workouts. In this phase the focus for CLX is on intense, heavy lifting. My heavies dumbbells are 12, so hopefully that'll be good enough for me. The Insanity workouts are going to start getting interesting too because they constantly change. It'll be the same 3 CLX Push routines for the next three weeks, but Insanity will change up every week. That'll keep it interesting!
