Yesterday I talked about how and why I restarted Round 2 of Insanity. Today will be the last "repeat day" before I pick up from where I left off. Today was Pure Cardio, one of my favorites (no, really!) I burned 647 calories, with a peak heart rate of 188 and an average of 155. My cardio fitness is recovering quickly from my time off, which is good because doing Insanity in poor shape is something I remember well, and it wasn't much fun.
Aside from that it's business as usual. The workouts still feel fresh, and I only have 3 weeks before the recovery week, then comes the dreaded Month 2.
My diet has been good for the first couple of days back as well. I'm trying to eat at least 4 meals, but 5 would be ideal. All of them are smaller than a regular meal, except for perhaps dinner. As I've said before, the idea behind this is to keep your metabolism up and consistent all day long. Apparently you burn more calories naturally that way. Eating more to lose more may seem like a contradiction, but it really does work, and eating more is something that I think I can be really good at! I was never a breakfast eater, but I definitely have more energy all day if I eat small meals all day long.
Anyway, have a great Tuesday. More fun coming tomorrow...
