Welcome back everyone ! Thanks for stopping by again (hopefully)
Today was our scheduled rest day on the Insanity schedule. Shew, we are glad for a day of rest This workout truly lives up to its name. But you know what? We look forward to it everyday. Guess that just means we are nuts, huh?
We are very happy that the rest day falls on Sunday. It will allow us to prep all of our food for the upcoming week. Our refrigerator and cabinets are packed with premade bags and containers for all 70 meals we need to eat this upcoming week. (5 meals a day time 2 people for 7 days) We have been using the Insanity Elite Nutrition Guide and we have to say that it is pretty straight forward. No bizarre ingredients, no fancy cooking techniques, just regular food. Really good for you, fuel you are going to need for the workouts, kind of food. The only food i was not too happy about having to eat was cottage cheese. I have never ever never ever liked that stuff. But.....i muscled though a week of eating a cup a day with a chopped apple in it and it wasn't too bad, or i guess i got used to it. Sylvia loves cottage cheese, so it wasn't bad to her. She didn't care for the Greek yogurt though. It was plain Greek yogurt, but the recipe called for adding raisins and chopped walnuts. I really enjoyed it. The 5 meals we choose for week one, will be replaced by other choices for week two. Except that we are going to continue to do the cold cereal bowl for breakfast and the dinner omelet for , well dinner. They are both very easy to prepare, filling and tasty !!
Who would have thought (most of my friends and family will attest to this), that a candy junkie, cupcake baking, cookie creating, pizza loving, ice cream-aholic like myself would have ever given up all that for a healthy lifestyle?? Not me. But for all the benefits i have seen from eating healthy these last 8 months, i will never go back to eating like that again. Sure, i treat myself every once in a while, but very rarely. And my favorite 'treat' right now is green apple sorbet. I can remember, not so long ago, i would 'treat myself several times a week to a pint of Haagen Dasz Vanilla ice cream a night.( over 1160 calories a pint, and 640 calories were fat!)
Well, I believe i have bored you enough for one night. Please check me out on facebook (teamleebee) for all my progress, pictures, etc.
Have a great day or night. And try to do something scary that doesn't kill you....that's a Tony-ism
