So, so far, I haven't lost any weight, but I do feel more energy and I feel like the shape of my body is becoming more toned. Toward the end of the week I fell off the wagon a bit by eating some coconut milk ice cream and pumpkin bread, but this week I am determined to start and end well. I already forgot about some of my goals: praying before every meal and drinking a cup of water before meals, so that is something I will focus on this week. Insanity has been going well. Week 1 went smoothly and I completed all the videos without struggle. The good thing about max 30 is that I can get better no matter how many times I do one video by reaching a further max out minute.
This week, for eat to live, my diet consisted mainly of the same foods everyday...
Breakfast: watermelon w/lentil soup OR oatmeal w/fruit
Lunch: salad w/beans, peppers, onions, carrots & an apple w/cinnamon
Dinner: fruit smoothie (sometimes with a salad too)
I hope this week goes better than the last, as I will focus more on my goals. I will also begin weight myself halfway through the weeks in addition to the end. Oh, and I decided that every time I am tempted to skip a workout or eat something unhealthy, I will do a minute of jumping jacks (or 100).
