Constant motion - Day 13

Today felt great. More energy and better food made a big difference compared to yesterday. I had a decent breakfast and a good lunch. I probably could have used more water, but I have been drinking a bit this evening.

Even though it was very challenging (I had Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs on the schedule) and I needed to take a couple of breaks, I felt pretty strong throughout. That is really encouraging.

Tomorrow is a rest day...I'm looking forward to that. Then Sunday I have my 15-day fit test. I'll be sure to post my results here...compared to my first test.

I should sleep well tonight.

Days 11 & 12 - fuel for thought

The last couple of days have really worn me out. Yesterday I went rock climbing for most of the day. I got home in the late afternoon and got to my Insanity recovery workout. Rough.

Today I made the mistake of not getting enough fuel for my workout. I need almost 3000 calories a day at my activity level. I only had about 500 before my workout and it showed. A huge difference compared to last week and even the other day as I felt stronger during my workout.

Tomorrow I need to make sure and get my calories. Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs are on the agenda and I'll need all the energy I can get.

Fuel is a challenge for me and I'll have to work at getting better making lunches and snacks...not to mention food prep - I'm not a fan of cooking, but I'm not willing to spend the money to buy healthy meals already prepared. Guess I'll have to figure it out and soon.

Who knew taking on an active lifestyle would also help me develop some sort of cooking or food prep program. I'll have to add it to the whole system.

Here we go!
