Starting over - Day 1

Wow, long time no update. Yeah I've been slacking.. I'll admit it ;_; But hey I will say that I did finish month 1 of Insanity and managed to lose 5 lbs. Then Russ came back and all hell broke loose lol. I tried Day 1 of Month 2 and oh boy was that rough. I couldn't even finish it so I had to do the same video a couple times. It was hard to keep up the next following days cause Russ and I went out a lot and I really wanted to spend time with him. Then this past week, i got sick so I had no energy to work out.

I'm still sick so I skipped Insanity today and just did some not so intense workouts at home. I need to get back on track!! As soon as my cough goes away, I will be back on Insanity!!

Today I *tried* to eat healthy..

Breakfast: Shakeology w/fat free milk & banana
Lunch: Salad w/chicken, cucumbers and tomatoes
Snack: Green tea latte w/skim milk
Dinner: Left over spring rolls, 1/2 a steak, brown rice, salad
Dessert: 1 sm quarter size pc of dark chocolate
Late-night snack: handful of pistachios

INSANITY DAY 21

Ok so I know I have been MAJORLY slacking on update my food blog and progress on Insanity but I guess I kind of hit a bump in the road. I was a little discouraged cause I weighed myself on the 2nd week of Insanity and lost a meager 1 lb. Yeah I felt pretty dissapointed and it didn't help that I went drinking over the weekend for my friend's birthday and skipped 2 days of Insanity. What also didn't help was that I wasn't eating the best. I was eating a little healthier but not enough to lose pounds.

I just completed my week 3. I have yet to weigh myself but I'm going to weight for another week. Although today is suppose to be my "rest day".. I continued to workout since I did skip 2 days in week 2. I did Cardio Abs and the Fit Test.

I've always been eating a lot better... these past couple days so hopefully that will help kick start my weight loss. Be proud.. I went grocery shopping at Whole Foods and bought a bunch of things that I could use to cook throughout the week. I cooked twice today.. pretty amazing huh. I think my bf would be proud :P

What I ate today:

Breakfast: Kashi cereal w/milk and banana
Lunch: Mixed greens w/olive oil vinegrette dressing (I made it myself!), feta cheese, tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes and 2 spoonfuls of spicy tuna
Snack: small piece of organic dark chocolate
Dinner: Organic bow tie pasta w/sun dried tomatoes, mozarella cheese, olives, basil, bell peppers, olive oil dressing and a small pcs of poached salmon (1/4 size)
Dessert: 1/2 Chocolate Shakeology (shared it with my mom)

INSANITY DAY 9

I hate how I wait so late to blog.. but then again I wait super late to do my Insanity workouts.

Anyways, today I didn't eat so well!! I had another potluck at work.. grr.

Breakfast: Jamba Protein Berry Work Out and cheddar & tomato twist bread thingy?
Lunch: 2 sm pcs of chicken, 1 hot dog (no bun), one bite of rice, fried noodles, brocolli, chocolate cupcake ahhhh and half a cookie.. omg soooo baddddddddddd.
Snack: 1/2 organic yogurt
Dinner: Salad (just lettuce, carrots, italian dressing and parm cheese), cup of French onion soup and 5 sm pcs of chicken karaage
Dessert: 10 cal strawberry acai jello

Workout: Pure Cardio HELL!

Btw, I talked to my Insanity coach today who referred me to his Insanity coach. She was SUPER helpful and made me feel a lot better because I was kind of feeling down about not losing weight my first week. But she told me that most people don't and that it usually just comes off all of a sudden. The first week your body is in shock and it's holding on to water. She gave an example of like a blister lol. It helped me a lot though to realize that I shouldn't keep looking at the scale but instead of how I feel and how my clothes fit. The weight will come off eventually. So I'm going to stay focused. I'm even thinking about going to an Insanity mtg on Thurs to learn more about how to be a coach and perhaps selling it??

Ok well I'm pooped. Tomorrow I hope to eat more healthier. No more potlucks gawd damn it! Oh I forgot to mention I ordered the shakeology today. I heard it tastes good.. I'm excited lol.

Breakfast: Jamba banana oatmeal and OJ
Lunch: 3/4 of a Thai chicken spinach wrap and cup of clam chowder
Snack: Fiber One peach yogurt and string cheese

Workout:
It was not a good idea to eat a big meal at dinner late at night and then workout 2 hrs later (mind you it was already 11pm). I was struggling quite a bit! I finished the workout but didn't push as hard as I'd like. Oh well, there is always tomorrow!

FOCUS! FOCUS! FOCUS!

INSANITY DAY 7 - REST DAY

Thankgoodness today was my rest day... although a part of me felt guilty for not working out since I have been 6 days in a row. My weight hasn't changed which was a little dissapointing but I noticed I fit better in some of my clothes.

Today I spent the whole day with Russ. He's leaving tomorrow to Jakarta for a month so I'm pretty sad. Anyways I didn't eat too well today but whatever it's my day of splurging a little :P Starting tomorrow, I will eat more healthier and this time I got to stick to it!! It will be a little easier since Russ will be gone. I can focus more on my diet & exercise.

Breakfast: 4 small pcs of portuguese sausage, Japanese style egg omlette (2 eggs), rice and 3 small pcs of garlic potatoes
Late lunch (pupus at Ryan's): 1 pc peking duck, salad sampler (pea salad, chicken salad and pasta salad.. I ate half), 1 pc of kung pao pizza and a couple fries... oh and a kid's sundae!! Russ ordered it!! eep.
Dinner (at Benihana): Split the jumbo shrimp meal with Russ since we weren't too hungry. Had a couple pcs of scallops too. Ate most of my veggies and a little less than half of my garlic fried rice. Green tea ice cream for dessert.

Ugh, I ate so bad today. Tomorrow is a new day.

WORK OUT:
I did the Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs tonight. When I read that, I wasn't looking forward to it at all!! Gosh, I hate doing so many jumps & squats.. my legs are burning. I love Sean T but hate him at the same time. I tried to keep up with what I could but it was very difficult and had to stop numerous times throughout the workout. But I was dripping with sweat and my heart was racing so fast. My stomach is hurting right now.. I think it's from the ab workout. I feel nauseous.. bleh.
