Exhaustion

Ah! Yesterday was such an exhausting day and I only did the Fit Test. Haha.
But really, considering, I have not done any real physical activity in almost 6 months. I know exactly why that test kicked my ass and why I feel so sore this morning.

I warmed up with the video and then did my first Fit Test for my 60 days. Here were my results:

Day 1: Fit Test
Switch Kicks 70
Power Jacks 35
Power knees 60
Power Jumps 22
Globe Jumps 7
Suicide Jumps (Burpees) 5
Push up Jacks 10
Low Plank Oblique 40
The cool down was my favorite part because I could finally breathe deeply (:

You can tell that towards the end there with my numbers that I was getting very tired. But hey at least I started out strong!

After the test, I was extremely lethargic and literally felt sick. I went upstairs laid down on the floor and took a fifteen minute nap. Muhahaha... that "work out" legit kicked my ass and put me to sleep!

I know that there were some things that I could have done differently with my eating habits during the day that would have prevented me from feeling so weak at the end there, BUT I am still happy that I completed Insanity's first step and I like my numbers.

I am definitely feeling the burn today.

I need to work on
Drinking more liquids (H20)
Eating and then waiting at least an hour before the work out
Working and using the nutrition guide and EATing 5 times a day!

I'm nervous AND excited to start the actual work out tonight.

I'm not looking forward to meal prep, but I need to keep thinking our body physique is 70%  the food we ingest, and 30% the workout!

Ending now with the sound advice/reality of Tami Lee Webb "Slow progression is the key to long term results"  Thanks Tami Lee, I will keep that in mind when Shaun T is kicking my little hiney!

Preparation

Today is preparation day for my journey to being and staying fit. This will be my 4th attempt at Insanity and I am feeling that this time will be THE TIME that I will complete it. The most I have ever fully completed was three weeks, which is pretty sad if you think about it.

Though, this program requires a great deal of willpower, the results that I have seen are undeniable.

This time around, I have no one willing to go up the steep exercise slope with me. So I am relying on my own determination and motivation to succeed. My hopes in creating this blog are to help myself stay motivated and use this blog to keep me accountable.

Typically Insanity begins on Mondays, but I was not in the mindset of it yesterday to begin. I will go this week off by one day AND will not rest on Sunday so that I am on point with the Insanity calendar come next Monday. I want to keep this as simple as I can for myself so that I will have absolutely NO EXCUSES

My week one mantra is: Eat right and get it tight.

I've tried here to come up with a game plan for cutting back on some of the yummy things I enjoy and do weekly. I know these things are doing no good for my body or state of mind.

Foody goals:

• Little/ to no processed foods, eat more from the earth
• No eating out, eat before if going out
• Figure in alcohol drinks in to cals
• Always always always log calorie intake
• Moderation is key
• Prepare foods Sundays for work week, if possible!

First months weekly goals:

• No sugar (first wk, except special occasions)
• No coffee (second wk)
• No alcohol (third wk)
• Cut out grains all together (fourth wk)

I am my only enemy in this endeavor and "I am far too smart to be the only thing standing in my way" (J. Freeman)

So here's to a first day towards achieving my insane results.
