Maybe it was the weather...maybe it was the fact that the workout began a little later than normal...but today was a very hard day to get motivated for my workout. I have to stop getting on the scale. Or at least...only weigh myself in the morning. I weigh 2 lbs more now than I did this morning....I should not have stepped on that scale. Regardless, my muscles were real stiff today so the entire warm up was like hell to get through. Once I got through it was better, but I am not seeing an improvement in myself through the work out...I spoke with a few friends today and one said that it's normal to not go without stopping...at least at this point I shouldn't expect it. I have to take so many breaks!! I guess that is sort of discouraging to me....that I can't make it through one circuit without stopping every other change of move.
Weight watchers is definitely working out...to anyone on WW....Check out Muscle Maker Grill. My roomate and I went this past weekend and it was incredible!! Big portions, low points. I had it for dinner last night...a pasta dish..it was literally a pound of pasta!! I ate half and it added up to 8 points and I was STUFFED! It tasted great too!
Hi Jenna! I came across your blog and would like to help you out. My name is Michelle and I am an exercise physiologist. I think its great that your diving in head first with Insanity. I tackled it myself once. As for nutrition, it's important to consume a whey protein shake within 30min post workout. I would also recommend to eat plenty of protein throughout the day, you don't want to burn muscle while completeing the workouts. Lastly, and I know this is hard, you want most of your carbohydrates to come from fruits and vegetables but this doesn't mean to completely cut out breads and pastas. Be careful eating fruits, I know they are zero points in WW but they have sugar in them and eating to much would be like eating a candy bar.
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle! Thanks for the advise!! I have started drinking the whey protein drink and it is like night and day the difference!! Last week was hell with the soreness...this week?? NONE!
