I get one rest day before month two starts. I'm an IDIOT and agreed to work part of my coworkers shift today so I'll be at work for 4 hours. If I had remembered that the Seahawk's first playoff game was today I definitely would have come up with an excuse as to why I wasn't able to work. I guess I'll record the game.
I'm a little disappointed in myself in the diet department this past week. More than once I was over my calorie limit, usually do to booze. I guess starting Insanity in December isn't the best idea with Christmas and New Years in there. I do feel I need to double down on my efforts to eat right. I read somewhere that you can't outrun a shitty diet. Same is true for Insanity. There is no reason to put myself through this torture if I am sabotaging my results.
I guess I should comment on how I've been handling the diet portion of the program. Insanity does come with a nutrition guide that gives you certain "food blocks" that are recipes for meals you are to eat 5 times a day in order to meet a broad caloric limit that is based on the Harris-Benedict equation. That seemed too inaccurate and wasn't really realistic for me to do with the career I'm in so I'm handling it different. I do eat 5 times a day but they are meals or snacks of my own creation. I log everything I eat in the free app Myfitnesspal as well as my calories burned during exercise. I have Myfitnesspal set to have my calorie limits equal to losing about one pound per week. I'm not sure if that's been happening since the muscle recovery and growth from the first month of Insanity has kind of thrown off my weight. I think it will be more telling if my strategy has been working with how my weight changes during month 2. We'll see how much I've lost so far tomorrow with my weigh in for the fit test.
Speaking of tomorrow, I'm scared! Fit Test AND Max Interval Circuit.
