[FITNESS] Workout Log V3N5: Nutritional Motivation

Workout

I’ve gotten stronger and gained endurance with these exercises. I push myself harder and I can feel the change. It’s crazy to think that the Insanity program ends in two weeks! I’m definitely incorporating these exercises into future workouts I do.

I hate Max interval Plyo and Cardio Conditioning. They are difficult and I feel it gets worse every workout. I push through though and make it happen. I also tried the Insane Abs and the Max Sports Interval Training. Insane Abs is ridiculous, but it’s a definite improvement over Cardio Abs. Max Sports is my favorite workout period. It feels like you’re training for 5 different sports, the exercises are fun and engaging, and you get the same burn and results from the other bullish exercises. Great substitutions for core cardio/balance and cardio abs.

Nutrition

This week I stuck to my diet for the most part. Had my weekly Popeye’s date and it was spectacular, lol. This week was very insightful. I spoke to my homie Erika from Black Girls Guide To Weight Loss, and she hazed me gave me some great advice on nutrition. We spoke about eating habits, portions, and good foods vs great foods vs bad foods.  She challenged me to better my nutrition which is already good. So I’m taking the challenge. I’m cancelling my Popeye’s dates until after Insanity ends (tear!!). I’m also going to keep a food journal, which I though was too stressful at first, to see what I eat over 7 days and see how it works for me.

Results

I did my weekly weigh-in and found something interesting. When you weigh yourself, you should do it under the same conditions every week to make sure the numbers aren’t skewed. I usually weigh myself after my workout. I came in at 197.6 which is a 1.4 lb loss in weight from last week. However, I realized that when I weigh myself like this, I’m drenched in sweat with my clothes drenched also, which could add to my weight total. So, I took a shower and changed clothes (I weigh myself in boxers and nothign else), and I weighed-in at 196.8, confirming my theory. So what I’ll do to honor the numbers is take the average of the 2 weigh-ins. So, for this week I weigh-in at 197.2 lbs, and going forward i’ll dry off and change clothes before future weigh-ins. So I almost lost the 2lbs a week that I aspired to attain. Let’s see if the dietary changes promote more weight loss.

Until Next Week,
