Day 6: Plyometric Cardio Circuit

It’s Saturday… like as in the weekend. I have never, in my life, worked out on a Saturday. I’ve always been a firm believer of not doing a damn thing on weekends but having fun, making money, or spending money. This (today’s workout) is none of these.

Today’s workout is the same as day 2 and I can’t believe how much easier it seems to be than when I did it 4 days ago. I don’t know if it’s the fact that I had a chill morning, ate well at brunch, then soaked up some Texas sun before the workout… but it’s definitely getting easier.

Remain Sober Throughout This Entire Experience

Yeah, right! Seriously… for anyone reading this that knows me, I love my booze; it’s just not going to happen. Vodka, Tequila, and I go way back. Everyone knows that you can’t just DROP friends that you’ve had for years, it’s just not right.

The nutrition guide clearly states:
"Try to avoid alcohol. If you do drink, consider that alcohol has 7 calories per gram, almost twice that of protein and carbs, with no nutrient value. If you're trying to streamline your diet, alcohol is not the way to go."

I completely understand where they’re coming from, but I have a Ghostland Observatory concert tonight that I don’t plan on attending sober. And have you ever been to Cobalt (popular gay bar in DC) sober… yeah, I’m not doing that.

It just goes to show that you can drink with the workout and nutrition plans, you just have to include your daily calorie and sugar intake. You also need to have the understanding that your final results may very based on your choices of what you put into your body, and the amount of consumption (food or beverage). So based on this, you may want to consider moderation, stick with clear liquors, and consider your mixer (soda water vs. cranberry). Oh, and hangovers are a bitch!
