As I mentioned yesterday, I skipped my Memorial Day Monday workout due to my schedule, and have been playing catch-up ever since. So today (Wednesday), I did yesterday's Cardio Power & Resistance workout. My plan is to skip the Recovery day tomorrow and continue with the 40-minutes beatings....I mean workouts...until I'm back on track.
Today I burned 642 calories, with my heart rate peaking at 180 beats per minute, averaging 152. I felt really strong today, and the boost in calories burned matches that. I think it's primarily because I got a good night's sleep, was up early today, and have been eating well more consistently the past couple of days.
I was somewhat surprised that I gained several pounds over the 3-day weekend, which surprised me, because I did my Saturday Insanity workout as scheduled. I did eat out one night, and had a few drinks, but nothing crazy. It seems my tolerance for poor eating habits is decreasing as I lose weight. Bummer! I love cheating when I'm on vacation. Guess I'll have to rethink that, or at least consider how much I'm willing to gain only to have to re-lose it the following week. Not sure what the best answer is for that one yet. I'm not on Biggest Loser after all. In the real world, it's perfectly okay to enjoy "bad" foods on occasion and in moderation. More to come on that I suppose...
Anyway, feeling good overall. I'm just about halfway through Round 2!
