So today was Day 12 of Insanity and Transition! I did Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs but only AFTERWARDS realized that I was actually supposed to do Cardio Power & Resistance! Oh well, I'll just do that one tomorrow! A little switcheroo there! My ankle didn't hurt anymore but today's workout was TOUGH. It is basically almost a full hour workout! I felt awesome afterwards- a little annoyed that I messed the schedule up, but oh well. As stated above- progress, not perfection!
So as a daily weigher, I'm trying my hardest to just *breathe* and let go of that number on the scale...BUT I am still weighing, so I can see how exercise & MF are working together. I expected to gain a bit during Transition, since I'm adding in carbs, and I was fine with that. However, I stepped on today to see 123.6! That's only .2 above my lowest on MF so far, when I was doing the 5&1! That made me SO happy because I know body is adjusting to the exercise/carbs now- and somehow, I'm still losing! *happy dancing + happy jazz hands!*
And in keeping with the theme of "progress, not perfection"- let's talk about my food for the day, shall we? I started a KISS challenge (Keep It Simple Sexies!) and the goal is to keep our L&G's super simple, no extra condiments, etc. Well...the above picture is what I was planning on eating- and that was it. BUT...I "caved" into a SF Jello cup snack (okay, that sounds insane, since there's basically nothing in those, but just for the integrity of the challenge, meh) and then later on, I got my package of MF meals that I bought for uber cheap from someone else...and found a Ranch Soy Crisp snack in there- and was like:*OHMYGOSH NOMNOMNOM!* Yeah. That's two snacks- two that I wasn't planning on eating. But it was either that or gnawing off my arm and the first is probably better, as I need my arms to finish out Insanity! ^_^

Anyways, here's what I had to eat today:
* 4 MF meals* 1 cup of raw baby carrots
* 1 1/2 servings of steamed (okay, microwaved) broccoli
* 5 oz. ground beef
* 2 green apples
* 1 SF Jello Cup (bah)
* 1 Ranch Soy Crisp packet (bah x2)
* LOTS of water + tea
* 1 can Diet Dr. Pepper + 1 can of Diet Root Beer
I know I should probably try to cut back on the soda again...but hey, I need SOMETHING to splurge on. Insanity and Medifast together are challenging enough- and my scale hasn't been affected so far. But I hope to phase out the soda too- to stick with my healthy lifestyle! ^_^
This video is EYE-OPENING! Since I have adapted a low-carb diet, I don't watch calories. Instead, I watch what my day is made up of. This basically says flat out that: "A CALORIE IS NOT A CALORIE!" And how our society pushes "low-fat" and "fat-free" things which are actually not much better for you, since they are overcompensating for that fat elsewhere- most likely carbs and sugar. Can't wait to watch the rest in this series!
