Insanity, Day 14: Fit Test

Today's supposed to be my off day, but I've got a hot date on Friday, so I'm going to exercise today and tomorrow and have my rest day be Friday.

I did the Fit Test today, and wow, did it make me sick again. To those of you who are thinking about doing Insanity or have tried it and gave up after the first day... the Fit Test is a different kind of difficult. I'll tell you right now that I hardly ever get sick or dizzy from the other work outs but the Fit Test just rips you a new one every single time. However, this time, I only stopped to rest ONCE!! Which is a huge improvement from the first time's 3x 5min+ rests. Let's see how I did:


Date 1/27 2/10
Move Fit Test 1 Fit Test 2
Switch Kicks 52 90
Power Jacks 43 57
Power Knees 77 80-90
Power Jumps 38 35
Globe Jumps 9 13
Suicide Jumps 14 20
Push-Up Jacks 20 22
Low Plank Oblique 23 55

Huge improvements here minus Power Jumps -- I'm actually wondering if I counted my Power Jumps correctly the first time. I know the first time I was so exhausted that I kept losing my count. Actually very dubious about that number being correct because those were awful last time. Also, THESE are the ones that made me nauseous. After these, I stopped the video to take more than a breather. Huge improvements though, I improved quickly. Kind of wondering how I was only able to do 23 low plank obliques...

Food: berry hemp spirulina smoothie, grapes, asian pear, apple, nuts, spinach salad with tofu, hemp shake (hemp powder + water), 6 non-meat meatballs, soy protein powder.

last night & this morn

WOOHOO! See what a positive attitude does? It decreases your body fat, that's what it does.

Last night:
17% bf
57.7% tbw

I've been noticing that my hydration level has been pretty high... I hope hope hope that means I have more muscle since muscle holds a LOT more water than fat does.

This morn:
118.8 lbs
26" waist

Ok, so a quarter of an inch lost at the waist since 2 wks ago. I weigh more, but I've lost body fat, which is the way I'd rather have it be. I haven't noticed any changes in how my clothes fit -- although I will admit that the majority of my pants are a bit loose. It's this mentality that I'm a size -whatever- and even when I lose weight I still wear that same size so when I get even skinnier the clothes are even looser. After this body change I want to go on a shopping spree for pants that don't get loose :) Can't wait! Not sure if my wide hips will let me fit into a smaller size though. We shall see.

Btw, I mixed spirulina with my hemp berry smoothie this morning. Now my smoothie tastes like ass. I think I'll keep the spirulina for my face...
