Insanity: Max 30 Journey Day 41 - Pulse

During the course of two months, I'd like to take you into my journey as I strive to retain a healthy lifestyle through a healthy balanced nutrition program and Beachbody trainer extraordinaire -- and Men's Health cover man -- Shaun T's brand new workout regimen Insanity Max 30.

Day 34: Pulse

Exhausted from the week that was, I decided to opt out of Pulse and take an additional rest day this weekend. In addition to the exhausting week, which included several more early-morning workouts plus late nights up, me and the family had a house guest for the week.

Being with the guest, we took the opportunity to go site seeing. Today we headed to Salem, Massachusetts to check out the historic witch-haven city. It was a beautiful day and we were lucky enough to walk throughout the city for several hours.

One downfall to the house guest was the unfortunate scenario where I took several meals off -- and had the occasional beer. Now, in my everyday lifestyle, I'm strict Monday through Saturday and indulge on a Sunday. This week, I opted to stay strict throughout the day and take off a meal at dinner time.

I still had my Shakeology and did my workouts, which was good. I just went off kilter for the evening. For that, I'm thinking of opting out on weighing myself this week to avoid discouragement. However, the fresh air and the walk, along with rest from the intensity of the workout, was fantastic. Next up: Rest.
