Hey there, blog pals!
So, yesterday at about 5 in the morning I decided on a whim that I would start another round of Insanity today. As I'm sure is the case with many a 5am snap decision, this may or may not be a good idea. But, I'm gonna do it, so I guess we'll just see how it works out. My experience with JCore taught me that I shouldn't promise to blog my experiences every day, as this is extremely unlikely to happen. But, at the very least I will post all my Fit Test results so I can track my progress on here. Speaking of, here's how Fit Test 1 went:
 |
| The fit test is structured such that you are given 60 seconds for each exercise and the goal is to complete as many reps as you can. |
Not too bad for the first day, although I did need to take a break in between the Globe Jumps and Suicide Jumps and then again between the Suicide Jumps and the Push-up Jacks. I think part of the problem may have been that I ate my Meal 4 about an hour before doing the Fit Test, which was not enough time. Also, I realize that I live in Hawaii and it's hot here, but I felt like I was extra sweaty when I was done.
But anyway it's Wednesday, and since today is Day 1 of Insanity I figured it would be a good day to do a What I Ate Wednesday post that features the meals I'm choosing from the Insanity Elite Nutrition Guide. So, here we go:
Meal 1: Proatmeal (oatmeal with fruit and protein powder).
I didn't exactly follow the recipe for this one, only because I had already made a big batch of oatmeal last weekend that I want to finish up before making more. The main difference was that this had brown sugar in it when it shouldn't have.
Meal 2: Greek yogurt with a diced apple and sliced almonds.
Meal 3: Salad with grilled chicken, cucumber, carrots, farro, pecans, (thawed) frozen peaches, and lemon juice.
This was extra delicious. I'm not a huge fan of cold salads, so I warmed the chicken, farro, and peaches up in the microwave. The juice released by the peaches mixed with the lemon juice made a great dressing.
Meal 4: Bean and cheese flatbread with broccoli.
Those of you who are familiar with the nutrition guide may notice that this meal isn't included as one of the Meal 4 choices. But, for some reason I didn't find ANY of those choices appealing, so I made some substitutions. To make this meal, I started with the Protein Pizza, then swapped the English muffin for a flatbread and used black beans instead of chicken. And also left out the marinara sauce, but that's fine.
Meal 5: Scrambled eggs with spinach and feta, whole wheat toast, and strawberries.
This was supposed to be the Dinner Omelette, but I can't make an omelette to save my life. The scrambled eggs were fine, though, I like having breakfast for dinner :). I've been blogging instead of eating so now it's cold, but I'm too lazy to re-heat it. So, cold non-omelette is what I'm having for dinner.
That's it for today! I'll be back (at the very latest) on Day 14 with my Fit Test 2 results.
