Tonight's Insanity workout was Core Cardio and Balance. Was that right? I had to check it a few times to make sure. Whomever made up the schedule (I could only find one hybrid online; every site I checked had the same one) has us doing a recovery week routine once this week, and once next week, and then again during recovery week (3 times!). I'm not complaining at all though. It's a nice, quick (36 minutes), "easy" routine without a lot of crazy jump type moves. My favorite is the very last move where you stand in a squat position and do arm movements (5 or 6 different ones; each are about 30 seconds); by the end your legs and arms are screaming - it's awesome! All the other moves are nothing new or crazy. It's truly a recovery workout.
Yesterday my group run got canceled. My running partner had food poisoning the night before AND it was supposed to be raining/thunder storming and we had the kids so we decided to not run together. When Chris got home (he had to go in to work to sit a board) it was sunny so I took off for a run - literally, I ran 3.2 miles in 30 minutes. I probably could've ran even faster; I kept slowing down because I was getting side stitches (a big sign that I'm running faster then normal). The way I figure it you've got to be a little uncomfortable if you're ever going to get better/faster.
We also did CLX last night - great workout. I'm really enjoying the Chalene Extreme set. The workouts are quick and effective. I know I'll be doing the set again in the future, maybe next, not sure yet. The only thing I do know is that I will NEVER (should I say never ever?) do Insanity again.
I was pretty hungry yesterday (running, weight training) so our late night snack was...
Chris said, "wow, I was just expecting crackers and cheese." LOL! One serving of hummus, carrots, cucumbers, celery, black olives, and Triscuits with half an ounce of cheese - 240 calories of deliciousness!
Ever since starting up the "No Weigh May" (I know only 2 days now) I've been really focusing on cleaning up my diet and choosing the healthier options. I've had salads with several meals and I've been eating chicken and tonight was salmon patties (Chris made them - green chilies, black beans, salmon, crackers, egg - they were awesome!!).
For breakfast this morning I made...
I inhaled it! Had to stop so I could take a quick photo - LOL! It's Baked Caramel Banana Bread Pudding Oatmeal from my 75 Ways to Love Your Oatmeal (excellent cookbook). I do have to say that I was the only one who liked it. Katelynn picked at it (she complained it was too hot), Denver had trouble gripping it (and I was too lazy to spoon-feed him), and Chris doesn't like "soggy" bread. Me? LOVED IT! I can't wait to eat the last bowl tomorrow. You bake it in 4 bowls, but it's actually only 2 servings (which is a lot of food for one person, but seeing as how the book is written by a bodybuilder, it makes sense). It's got almond milk, cinnamon, Torani sugar-free caramel syrup, cottage cheese, vanilla, protein powder, banana, bread, oats, and brown sugar sprinkled on top. It's delicious!!
Tomorrow is a morning run, CLX, and then we're taking the kids to a cavern followed by a bar-b-que at my brother's house!
