Day 286: Monday Insanity… Literally!

What it is yo!?!

Monday was a reset of trying to get these last bit of weight off to break 100 pounds! That century mark has become some sort of barrier that I need to break so I can move on to another goal. So this week, I’ve changed how I’m looking at my caloric intake over points because some of my awesome friends (Jenn and Jade are legit) suggested that I haven’t been eating enough calories which has put my body in starvation mode so I’ve been retaining water and fat. Today wasn’t that bad recording calories since I’m already use to recording points, I’ve just had to not overlook anything I eat.

Oh yeah… I stared this ridiculous thing called Insanity today. Ever heard of it?

Breakfast: I just had a bowl of Kashi with 1/2 cup of milk. Yumtastic.

Lunch: I went to lunch with my friend Jared at Mellow Mushroom. Last time I went there… on friday, I had two slices and a diet coke and the slices were massive. Instead of that, I had a slice with sun dried tomatoes and a tossed salad that was just tomatoes, mushrooms, and lettuce so nothing too heavy. Also, I had unsweetened tea with no artificial sugar. It was good and I didn’t feel stuffed after lunch.

SAWS!!!: So we are having an issue with the ridiculously high heat indexes in the morning so we still doing Couch 2 5k but we are going to move our schedule around a little bit. In the mean time, our friends Jacob and Emily let us borrow their copy of Insanity which is an intense 60 day plyometrics workout. Today was a fitness test to see where you are at. You recorded your results and then you do the test again in later weeks to see where you stand. It was really brutal and I can only imagine what tomorrow will be like. It’s only 45 minutes a day (I think/hope/I cant remember now so I’m terrified) but to quote my awesome wife “you can do anything for 45 minutes” which is really true.

Recharge meal: I was feeling a little rough (but high on endorphins) I had a ripe and delicious banana with a serving of peanut butter. Probably the best thing I’ve ever eaten.

Dinner: We had super awesome chili for dinner. It was… super awesome. It’s even better with brown rice. Yumtastic awsesomeness.

Dessert: I had 1/2 cup of light cookie dough ice cream and some Tim’s Cascades Sweet Onion chips. (And no I did not eat them together… even though that sounds really good.) (And yes, that is ketchup with the chips. Awesome combo.)

So today I got to approximately 1630 calories, 38.5 grams of fat, and 28 grams of fiber. I couldn’t find out the fat and fiber for lunch, and I couldn’t find the fiber for the banana. So by my points calculator I’m at 35 points which mean I have eaten my exercise points and my allotted 30 points. We will see how it goes the rest of the week. See ya tomorrow.

  1. “You can do anything for 45 min” is actually passed on wisdom from your awesome brother-in-law, I’ll take credit though 🙂
