Day 45? Wow, time clearly flies when you're doing Insanity. As reported in my last post, I went to a wedding on Saturday. I decided in advance I was going to have a day off from the clean eating. I haven't really missed drinking alcohol but must admit the first sip of champagne tasted really bloody good! After the wedding breakfast (washed down with copious amounts of white wine) I switched on to any girl-on-a-diet's tipple of choice - vodka soda. Despite my fears of ending up comatose on the dance floor, I remembered to fit in the odd glass of water and stayed upright all night - hooray! Food-wise the menu was actually very clean - a salmon and prawn starter, followed by roast beef and veg (all delicious!). Dessert was a selection of cupcakes courtesy of the fabulously talented Blondies Bakes (www.blondiesbakes.co.uk). I meant to take a photo but was so excited by my cupcake's sugary beauty I had to stuff it in my mouth immediately. As I type this I realise I blog about cupcakes almost as much as I do about my actual fitness regime. Perhaps a re-name is in order. Witness the cupcake insanity? On top of the cake and champers joy, a most marvellous time was had at the wedding (congrats Phi and Lisa!) and it was fun to road-test my newly-svelte figure by joyfully wearing a dress I couldn't zip up back in January. 

Sunday I was back to it with (in my view) the hardest DVD of the lot - Max Interval Circuit. It actually felt really good. Maybe I was still drunk? I'm not sure what it is about the Max workouts but they are unintentionally hilarious. This is mainly down to the male Insaniacs behind Shaun T. Firstly they all have names like Frankie and Jimmy and Randy (British people just don't get named Randy) and are hilariously uncoordinated (check out Frankie doing 1-2-3). Secondly, they all pull amazing facial expressions, from Frankie's constant 'I need to poo' face to Jonny's 'cheeky' winks at the camera (shudder!). The best moment of all takes place at the end of Max Interval Circuit when 'Home-Boy' Jeff(y?) randomly does a back spin into a flip and comes about two inches from kicking Ariel (one of the female Insaniacs) smack in the face. The camera then zooms in on her look of shock/disgust. It's sort of amazing although I suspect you may have to see it to understand its amazingness. 

I had a thought the other day - two of the female Insanicas are called Ariel. I consider Ariel a fairly unusual name and therefore find it doubly unusual that two of Shaun's Insaniacs share it. I googled the popularity of the name and as I suspected it shot to popularity in 1989 when The Little Mermaid was released. This means the Ariels on the DVDs are probably at least ten years younger than me. Gah.
