So, I’ve started Week 4 of Insanity and so far I’ve really enjoyed it.\u00a0 I’ve only missed 2 days and have been pretty faithful in my eating.\u00a0 I do think I could push myself a tad harder during the workouts and I’ve definitely NOT been cutting out alcohol as much as I should.\u00a0 The main culprit has been beer which I should never have started drinking in the first place.\u00a0 Anyhow, I’m taking pictures of my progress like the guide says and if I’m happy with the results I fully intend to post the obligatory photo progression Youtube video.\u00a0 I’ve had some people say they can already see some results which is pretty cool; however, they could just be saying it to make me feel good about myself.\u00a0 Either way, I’ll take it!<\/p>\n
The vegetarian thing is going well.\u00a0 My chemist friend freaked me out a bit by saying I would be missing some amino acids and would eventually lose the enzymes to process meat, but I got some second opinions and I think I’ll be okay.\u00a0 The key really is diversifying my diet and so far I’ve been successful.\u00a0 Pasta has been a big thing lately, but only because I love it so much.\u00a0 I’ve gotten good at making some excellent grilled asparagus too.<\/p>\n
My trip to Nashville this weekend was ridiculously awesome.\u00a0 Friday night I got in and picked up my friend from work to head to dinner at Rosepepper<\/a> in East Nashville.\u00a0 You will need a reservation if you plan on getting there after 7.\u00a0 The margaritas were awesome and we followed up our meal with ice cream at Jeni’s<\/a>.\u00a0 I was uncomfortably full on the way to the concert.<\/p>\n The Katy Perry concert was pretty good, but the highlight for me was Janelle Mon\u00e1e<\/a>.\u00a0 She is ridiculously talented and I cannot wait to go see her again.\u00a0 After a transition by DJ Skeet Skeet, Katy Perry performed and did not disappoint.\u00a0 The show is over the top and I didn’t know all the songs as I’m not a diehard fan.\u00a0 However, I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that she can actually sing and was really great to her fans.\u00a0 I just wish she showcased her actual vocal talents more.\u00a0 However, until that becomes more marketable she will have to stick with the silly, “fun” songs.<\/p>\n Saturday we headed downtown and watched the Dragon Boat races for a bit before heading to The Gulch district for sushi with an old friend.\u00a0 I had a blast at lunch and the sushi was quite good.\u00a0 We ended up there towards the end of the buffet closing so they gave us a couple of boxes to load up with whatever we wanted!\u00a0 I had to decline because I didn’t have a fridge handy, but our lunch companions stocked up.\u00a0 After lunch we headed to Las Paletas gourmet popsicles.\u00a0 They were quite good and I will definitely go back, but they are not that different from the ones you can get here in Memphis off Winchester, or at a variety of mom and pop shops in Mexico.\u00a0 I guess the whole concept of them being handmade is what’s so appealing, plus, they are damn tasty on an extra hot day.\u00a0 After Las Paletas we went to some cool little shops and thrift stores before watching the sunset while picnicking at Arrington Vineyards<\/a>.\u00a0 After a pit-stop to shower and change we hit the town once more to chill at Patterson House and then go dancing.\u00a0 We got home around 4 a.m.\u00a0 All said, it was a brilliant 36 hours in our neighbor city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, I’ve started Week 4 of Insanity and so far I’ve really enjoyed it.\u00a0 I’ve only missed 2 days and have been pretty faithful in my eating.\u00a0 I do think I could push myself a tad harder during the workouts and I’ve definitely NOT been cutting out alcohol as much as I should.\u00a0 The main… <\/p>\n
