Insanity Workout Day 10: Cardio Power and Resistance or How Hoverboards Don't Work on Water Unless You Have Power

1-14-10: Weird. It seems like every day I have a new most hated DVD. Today it is the Power and Resistance DVD. I did not wake up in nearly enough time to do the workout in the morning. Thankfully, with Friday being off I could do the workout after work without causing huge problems for Friday morning. Still, I do hate letting the workout slip till later. It is a dangerous game, because isn't the whole reason I needed some home workout is because I knew I didn't have time to go anywhere in the morning and was not disciplined enough to keep a workout schedule after work? It all comes down to the two hours of basketball Wednesday night...and of course the five hours of sleep I got. Those two combined things made for a miserable enough morning to skip the workout temporarily.

It is difficult to notice improvement in the workouts. While doing some of the exercises I think, "HEYYYYY! I'm doing this for much longer than last time!" While doing (or not doing) some of the other exercises I think, "HEYYYYY! I HATE YOU SHAUN T!!!" If I can keep doing just a little bit better on the warmups. Hell, if I can make it through that without breaking, that will be a huge success, because that leads into the stretching which I can get mostly through, so, really, the only thing left would be...well...the workout. Hmm...right.

Today I made another little interesting meal. Definitely built for single people or speed, I call it "TETS in a Cup". The ingredients:

4 oz. Jennie-O Turkey Store Lean Ground Turkey
2 Eggs
3 Tbsp Ortega Thick & Smooth Mild Taco Sauce

I make my turkey on a miniature George Foreman grill. While that is cooking, I crack open two eggs, throw them into a coffee cup, beat the hell out of them, and microwave for about a minute and fifteen seconds. By the time the eggs are done, so is the turkey. Throw the turkey into the cup. Mix it good. Add three Tbsp of taco sauce and mix again. Eat out of cup. Delicious and should be made in less than five minutes.

This is definitely more of a protein dish, and has a decent amount of fat thrown in to the mix as well. The 40% Protein, 40% Carb, 20% Fat ratio does not hold for this, but really all that is missing is carbs. If you are die hard to get back into this ratio, eat an apple. This makes it match nearly dead on. (But that also puts you at about 470 calories, so plan accordingly).
