Exhausted.
M and I took turns escorting each of our boys through Disneyland and California Adventures, and I had a blast with them both. But 12 hours straight on my feet -- save for those precious few minutes on rides or at meals -- have worn me out.
(Speaking of food, we've managed to stick to our high-protein, low-grain diets while at Disneyland by: (1) not purchasing snacks and other between-meal treats at the parks, (2) being pains in the asses and ordering sauces and dressings on the side, and (3) subbing out the ubiquitous sides of potatoes -- in the form of fries, hash browns, etc. -- for other vegetables or fruit. So far, so good, though the kids are naturally pigging out on everything kids should gorge on when at Disneyland.)
Only three more days of this. I hope I survive.

Round 2 / Day 49: Insanity Core Cardio & Balance (+ A Preview of Max Interval Circuit)
Last night, we had dinner at Contigo, and ordered everything on the menu. And by "everything," I really mean it -- we were told by the chef/owner (a friend of my sister-in-law's) that we were only the second party ever to order literally every single item on the menu in one sitting.
Naturally, I had a little extra motivation to exercise this morning. After finishing my scheduled session of Core Cardio & Balance, I decided to try out the Insanity Max Interval Circuit DVD as well. I won't spoil the surprise -- my review of this mind- and body-numbing piece of hell will be posted later in the week -- but I worked my ass off. An hour and forty minutes after beginning my early morning workout, I was ready to go back to bed.
Still, I have no regrets about last night's bacchanalia. An occasional fantastic meal is worth the extra calories -- even if it means having to take extraordinary measures to torch those calories off. (It's Number 5 on my list of five food rules.)
