Insanity, Day 15: Plyometrics

Last night:
56.6% tbw
18.6% body fat

This morn:
117.6 lbs
26" waist

I can't win... seems like if my body fat is high my weight is low? It's water weight. If I were more hydrated last night, I would have had a lower body fat but a higher weight. But obviously what's more important for me right now (for me right now meaning, I know I'm healthy the way I am, I would just like to improve my physical fitness and lose more body fat) is how I look. I'm not sure if this dress I'm wearing today was always this loose, but it is. So is the belt that goes at the top of my ribs. I know the belt was always loose, and I was pretty small in 2008 when I bought this dress, but I may or may not be imagining that the belt is more loose than it was before.

Plyometrics was last night. It was really tough. The parts that were tough were the parts on the floor -- the push ups, the ski push up sit up things, the in and out. Those started to hurt my shoulders and I would rest for my shoulders, not my core. The part in the end, with the jabs and hooks, is a good way for me to calm my heartbeat while still keeping it up, but I don't know if I'm doing it right: are my hips supposed to move? Am I supposed to go side to side? I notice I bounce -- is that bad? Am I squatting down far enough?

Also, is it just me or is it sometimes hard to follow along with the video? When the camera cuts to some of the other participants, I feel like they're going at a different speed than the speed I was just going. It's as if they cut together parts of the same exercise but in different circuits.

I suck at following a food plan. Food yesterday consisted of berry hemp shake, apple, asian pear, Gardein crispy chiken strips, lots of nuts ( :( I had no snacks...), garden burger patty, 2 non-chicken nuggets, some dark chocolate and lastly, soy protein powder. Not going to do the break down as I was eating much on emotion yesterday. I haven't been getting great sleep lately, and I got home later than I wanted to. I reeeeeeeaaally didn't want to pay attention to what I was eating or even work out. I'm glad I did.

Since this is an exercise blog and I wanted to share everything, I will -- but be aware that the rest of this post may fall into "TMI" so you can stop reading -now- if you don't like details!

Usually, I exercise great for three weeks and then stop during "that time of the month." It is so hard to work out during that time as I'm going through the natural hormonal changes of my body that dictate how my body and mind feel, always in a bad way. So it always discourages me. I will need motivation to get through that when it comes... I can do it! I can't quit!
