Third Week In

Workouts
Today marks the start of my third week in to Insanity.

I can say of the first two weeks, I missed three workouts and one of those days, I replaced with a 30 minute workout at the gym on the treadmill and a little ab work.

I am almost too excited that today isn't really a hard core workout, but instead is the second round of the Fit Test. I am anxious to see how much I have progressed in the last two weeks.


Eating
I am doing well with the meal plan. I do have a few mini candy bars usually on weeknights or a dark chocolate square or two, but nothing too extreme. I also tend to skip the last meal or snack during the week. This week, I am going to work on eating all my planned meals and not skipping.

I also need to work on eating regularly on weekends. I find myself eating at odd times and not going by my meal plans.

I have sort of a free for all during the weekend. Usually, splurging on drinking alcohol and maybe having pizza slices or wings.

Goals
I really want to work on cutting out drinking all together, but will opt for now to maybe once a week. (Hey I've got to start somewhere!) and working on "eating outside" the meal plan for only one meal a week.

The hardest thing with the meal plan is the meal prep. It takes a lot of effort to make sure you have all your meals and snacks for your nine hour work day. It's so easy to be running late for the day and are unable to pack yourself the proper lunch. I just need to focus harder and be even more determined and scheduled to help myself succeed. BECAUSE I know that my planning and preparation will be put to good use and my outcome will be well worth it.

Motivations
One of the biggest things that gets me through my workouts or prompts my motivation is consistently telling myself that "No one else is going to push me" AND in this whole endeavour, I am my own worst enemy KEEP PUSHING!

I am beginning to get addicted to that endorphin, blood pumping, sweaty state I find myself in after my workouts. I find myself craving this feeling and not feeling right or feeling off when I miss a workout or do not push myself as hard.

I will post my Fit Test results later on this evening.

Here's to a better state of mind & body and to digging deeper.....
