Insanity - Week 1 - Thursday - Cardio Recovery

Recovery only means it's not 200 mph power jumps and hurdles. It's still a hard workout, all bodyweight resistance and stretching. I didn't wear my heart rate monitor but I'll take 2 activity points for it.

Food:
grapes & hard boiled egg [2]
three bean salad [8]
apple & cottage cheese [6]
coffee w/ skim milk [2]
tacos [13]
orange [0]

I used all 29 of my daily points and both activity points and have 49 weekly points remaining.

Insanity - Week 1 - Wednesday - Cardio Power & Resistance

Today's hell was Cardio Power & Resistance. I cried about halfway through the workout. I hated every freaking second of this stupid workout. I wanted to quit. I can think of a million other unpleasant things I would rather do. I hate Insanity. I fuh.king.hate.it. I burned 282 calories - it works out to 3.5 activity points but damn it, I am taking 4!

Food:
orange & hard boiled egg [2]
turkey sunshine salad [12]
grapes [0]
cheese & avocado omelet w/ turkey bacon [14]
coffee w/ skim milk [2]

I used all 29 of my daily points, 2 of my activity points, and have 49 weekly points remaining.

Insanity - Week 1 - Tuesday - Plyo Cardio Circuit

OH MY GOD!!!! This shit is so fucking hard! This is the absolute hardest cardio workout I have ever done. I'm scared of what lies ahead, especially in the second month when the workouts are longer. I was slow today. I couldn't keep up well at all. You're supposed to go at your own pace, but damn, I was slow. And I need something for my floors because I slip all over the laminate. I'm going to buy a big workout mat this weekend. It should grip the floor and provide traction for my sneakers. Anyway, this workout (42 minutes) gave me a net burn of 322 calories (4 activity points).

Food:
hard boiled egg [2]
broccoli [0]
salad w/ light dressing [7]
three bean salad [8]
chicken breast w/ light barbecue sauce, broccoli w/ cheese [7]
apple & cottage cheese [6]
tea w/ skim milk [0]
coffee w/ skim milk [1]

I used all 29 of my daily points and 2 of my activity points, and I have 49 weekly points remaining.

Insanity - Week 1 - Monday - Fit Test

Yeah, I decided late last night that I would do Insanity for now. I spent an hour trying to put together a weight training routine and couldn't come up with anything I liked, so screw it - I won't do any for the next 9 weeks. Insanity will take me all the way to Memorial Day. Maybe I'll be out of my funk by then. I plan on getting a family membership to the YMCA next month. Gotta get in bikini shape for the pool.

So, the Fit Test. I did it a long time ago (December 22, 2009 - right after completing P90X, 10 pounds lighter than I am now and without a 9 week cardio break). Here's a comparison of then and now:

Switch Kicks - (78) - 87
Power Jacks - (53) - 43 (I lost count in the beginning when I was trying to get the form down)
Power Knees - (86) - 82
Power Jumps - (25) - 26
Globe Jumps - (9) - 8
Suicide Jumps (Burpees) - (13) - 14
Push Up Jacks - (14) - 16
Low Plank Obliques - (32) - 34

Overall, I guess I'm satisfied with the results. After all, it's been 9 weeks since I've done any significant cardio and I'm getting over a cold. I don't know if those are good excuses for not improving since my 2009 attempt or not. I do know that I was dying right away, with tightness in my chest and my head hurting. I need to drink more water prior to my workout. I'd had a bottle of water during the afternoon but nothing close to when I did the Fit Test. I drank another bottle during the workouts. Thank goodness for those long breaks. Tomorrow's workout probably will kill me.

I am going to start subtracting what my body burns just sitting around (which is about 1 calorie per minute, according to caloriesperhour.com). So for this, my net burn was 177 calories (2 activity points).

Food:
orange & yogurt [3]
macaroni & cheese [6]
carrot sticks & hard boiled egg [2]
three bean salad [8]
apple & cottage cheese [6]
Asian medley vegetables [5] - It's vegetables but since it is lightly sauced, I have to count it all. I don't know how to count the sauce only. It's the Steamfresh stuff. I love them!
coffee w/ skim milk [1]

I used all 29 of my daily points and both activity points, and have 49 weekly points remaining. I'm not sure if I'm still hungry or not. I know I'm exhausted!

I took a sick week.

I started coming down with something a week and a half ago. The first day was okay but then overnight it got really bad - fever, chills, sinus issues. I really thought I was getting the flu. But then I was well enough to go about my day, and then I got hit hard again the next day. I had to miss my Go Far run in the parade. I slept the entire day and for three days after, I had no energy. I did my Go Far coaching and that was it. Even those short (like, under 2 minutes) runs took a lot out of me. The only problem, other than fatigue for the rest of the week was a stuffy nose, cough, and chest pain (from the cough). I thought I might have had bronchitis but I no longer think that's the case. I think it's just a cold. I wish it would go away. I probably have another week of this disgusting cough and hacking up crap.

I was only able to get in one run - yesterday. It was cold and windy and it sucked. My new running shoes are awesome, though. I got a pair of Asics Gel Phoenix 3, two pairs, actually. I love our Rack Room Shoes at the Tanger Outlet Center. These two pairs of sneakers cost me less than the pair of New Balance I bought at the running store last year. I am glad I went to the running store though, because at least I know I'm an overpronator and can have Shoe Dog find some appropriate shoes for me. I have a long list of shoes that are good for my arch and mechanics.

The weather today has been cold and miserable. I can't run in this, especially with my chest being so gunky and rattling the way it is. So I'm behind schedule. If I can't even fit in these tiny runs, how the hell am I supposed to do my serious training? Maybe I need to re-think whether or not I have time to train for the marathon. My husband will start crabbing within the month, so that will mean even less time for me to try to find an hour to myself to run. I can't leave my six-year old home alone 3-4 times per week. I am trying to get him to ride his bike so maybe he can ride along as I run but he's incredibly resistant. Okay, he's lazy. He hates to be outside. I'm working really hard to change that, since it's my fault. I can't stand to be outside either. I hate the outdoors.

All that aside, I don't know what to do. I am going to keep running, for sure. I have a Bunny Hop 5K in April and another in May, both for Go Far. I also want to do the OBX Killer Dunes 2 Mile Run in July. I want to run the Killer Dunes for a friend of mine. She was pregnant and lost the baby recently, and his date was July 4. So I want to run the race for Baby K.

Chances are good that I'll be coaching Go Far again in the fall, and if I don't do the marathon, I will most certainly be running the 8K in November. Then I can possibly train for a spring marathon, like the Shamrock in Virginia Beach. My husband works a lot less in the winter. I know I can complete a marathon. I am certain I can do it, with training. It's finding the time to train properly that is the challenge.

So anyway, what's in store for me now? I just want to get over this cold, get my energy and sanity back, and resume working out. My bulk is over. I'm going back to doing some cardio (along with heavy lifting, twice a week). I'd like to run twice a week, if possible, and do Turbo again. I miss Turbo. I always miss Turbo. I'm going back to 29 daily points (yuck). I don't know how that's going to go. I need to lose 13 pounds to get where I want to be. I just don't lose well when I try to eat for maintaining sanity. My OWOB (that's online workout buddy) has some pretty interesting observations about the Weight Watchers 29-point minimum being too much for her to lose. It's probably too much for me lose, too, but even at 29 points per day, I am hungry. I can only eat so much rabbit food. I wish I could cut out bread and pasta. I could, sure. I did it when I low carbed. But since Weight Watchers says I can have it, I have it. It's a double-edged sword, really. Tell me I can't have it and I want it. Tell me I can have it, and I'll eat it. I wish I could eat Paleo or Primal. I could, I guess. It's just a psychological transition.

Why can't I just eat and not think about it? Why can't I just trust myself to eat healthy foods and leave it at that?

Bulk Cycle 1 - Week 8 - Friday & Weekend

I started getting sick on Friday. I ate well most of the day but by the time I got off work, I was feeling really lousy. Instead of doing my 10 minute run, I walked for 25 minutes. Once I got home, I was even worse and I spent the next 16 hours pretty out of it. I was okay on Saturday, but my fever kept coming and going. Sunday was the worst. I couldn't even go to our Go Far event. I just stayed in bed, mostly sleeping. I hate being sick.

Bulk Cycle 1 - Week 8 - Monday

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I started running again today. The first 3 runs of the marathon training schedule are 10 minute runs. That's it. Today was the first I've run since my 5K last November. I ran the whole 10 minutes. I only burned 78 calories, but I didn't want to push it after so many months off. I'll take the activity point, thank you very much!

Food:
coffee w/ skim milk [3]
yogurt [3]
cream of broccoli soup & sweet potato [12]
cheese [4]
salad w/ tomato, cucumber, hard boiled egg, light ranch dressing [8]

Bulk Cycle 1 - Week 7 - Sunday

I don't think I mentioned this before, but I've been reading The Non-Runner's Marathon Guide For Women by Dawn Dais. This book is not a serious training book, but a look at a couch potato who decided to run a marathon. It's the funniest book I have ever read. (She also has one about cycling. My library doesn't carry it. I may have to buy it.) I laughed until I cried and couldn't breathe so many times. I seriously love this book, and may have to buy it (I borrowed it from the library).

Anyway, Dawn has a web site for runners now. It has a 35-week training guide. My marathon is 35 weeks from today. Guess who starts marathon training tomorrow? It won't interfere with my bulk at all. For the first week, it's just 10 minutes, four times. With Go Far starting soon, I'd be running anyway. I have five weeks left on my bulk - I will just have to make sure I eat my activity points. Once the bulk is over, I'm going to do two full-body workouts per week, and follow the running schedule. After a few more weeks, some cross-training (swimming & cycling, probably) will get thrown in. I haven't decided what to do about strength training then. There are two OFF days per week once cross-training starts. I would absolutely need at least one of those completely off. So maybe one full-body workout on one off day, and add some upper body to my cross-training day? I don't know.

I can't believe I'm going to run a marathon. Last year at this time, I was vowing I'd never run a 5K.

I'm also pretty excited that I'm starting a new weight lifting routine this week. I was going to stick with my current routine for the entire 12 weeks, since I was increasing my weights, but to be honest, the routine is driving me nuts. I'm going to do the other routine I considered at the beginning of this, the Bill Starr/Gregg Pendalay 5x5 Periodized Advanced Workout. I'll do that for the next 5 weeks, then just play fast and loose, I guess.

I didn't track my food today. We ate at CiCi's pizza. I had enough points to cover what I did eat, though. I ate well the rest of the day. I feel good. I'm excited. Really excited.

Bulk Cycle 1 - Week 7 - Saturday

I couldn't help it. I got on the scale this morning. My weight a week before my bulk was 128. On February 1, I weighed 130 pounds. I remember because one of my goals for February was to gain no more than 3 pounds. I ended the month at 137, thanks to some out of control eating. I'm back down to 133.5 today. So in 6 weeks, I've gained 3.5 pounds, which was a pace I had in mind. I feel great. I feel solid. I told Melty that I feel like this:

And I do. I definitely feel strong. I don't know if I'm gaining muscle. I don't think I will ever know for sure because I haven't had any good body composition testing done. I don't care. I am very happy with my body right now. And that is really motivating.

Food:
banana, coffee w/ skim milk [1]
tilapia w/ avocado, tomato & corn salsa [12]
3 Musketeers [7] - It didn't taste as good as I remember and I definitely did not want another, as I usually do.
cheese [4]
apple [0]
ice cream cone pizza [11] - I made mine with sliced turkey meat, instead of pepperoni
3 Musketeers [4] - I'd bought 2 earlier (BOGO!) and split this one with my son.
bagel thin w/ light cream cheese [6]

I ate all 35 of my daily points and have 18 weekly points remaining.

Ice Cream Cone Pizza - Recipe

"You know what would be good, Mommy? Ice cream pizza!"

That's what started this. Sebastian wanted his pizza shaped like an ice cream cone. I started with one of my favorite pizza crust recipes (which is 29 WW P+ for the entire crust, according to Living Cookbook).

I prepared the dough according to the directions, but instead of just rolling the dough, I rolled it out and cut it into 4 sections, which I then rolled into balls and let rest a little longer while we fashioned out "sugar waffle cone" mold.

Pardon the nasty bananas. I'm making banana bread tomorrow.

Cut out a cereal box and curve it in the the shape of a sugar waffle cone. Go ahead and use a piece of tape to secure it.


Wrap heavy duty foil around the cereal box cone. Be sure to make a little bit of an edge.


Spray the foil with non-stick spray. Mold the dough around it, sealing the edges very well. Pull the cereal box cone out of the foil and set the foil & dough aside. Use the cereal box cone to repeat the process until all 4 cones are completed.

Yes, I know what that looks like. It looked even more like one from other angles.

Stand the dough cones, point up, on a cookie sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Remove the foil and prop the cones, point down, in a clean steel can. Fill with your favorite pizza toppings.

Those are chopped black olives, not rodent turds.



Put back in the oven for 5-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and toppings are warm.





These held together very, very well and were delicious!! Sam is going to make some more permanent molds for shaping and baking the dough, as well as a friendlier rack for cooking the filled cones. I was going to take a picture of myself, eating from the pointy end, but one phallic symbol picture in this blog entry was enough!

incline db bench press 5x5x40 lbs 
bb lunge 5x5x85 lbs 
bent over bb row 5x5x85 lbs 
bb shrug 
5x5x120 lbs 
stiff leg bb dead lift 5x5x120 lbs
plank/side plank 3x30s per side (90s total per set)

2 activity points. I think I need more. I'm so hungry all the time. And I did my workout after work, and I was not properly fed beforehand. I'd eaten a little bit of fruit throughout the day, and a bit of cookies & ice cream early on. Right before my workout, I had some cheese but by the time I got to my second circuit of exercises (the shrugs, DL & planks), I was shaky and weak and I really thought I was going to hurt myself. I had to use my straps to do the lifts. I really should have eaten better. I don't have this problem if I work out first thing in the morning but after a day of work and sugar, it wasn't good. I'm so glad to be done. And I vow here and now, that I will never, ever do stiff leg dead lifts once I'm done with this cycle. I HATE THOSE MOTHER EFFERS. I cannot get the form down and I don't see how they have any functional application at all.

Food:
fruit salad [0]
coffee w/ skim milk [3]
ice cream & cookies [10]
cheese [4]
baked chicken thighs w/ barbecue sauce, cheesy potatoes & broccoli [13]
peanut butter & nutella on bagel thin [8]


I used all 35 of my daily points, both activity points, and have 28 weekly points remaining. I need more vegetables.

front delt db raise 5x5x12.5 lbs
single-leg db calf raise 5x5x40 lbs 
standing (single) db tricep extension 5x5x35 lbs 

You'll never guess how many activity points I took for this. 2! Shocker. I think I am maxed out on the lifts for this particular group of exercises. Every rep is a struggle. And I feel like I am never going to progress with the bicep curls & lat/delt raises. I think I've been at those weights since I started 7 weeks ago.

Food:
baked oatmeal [6]
banana, coffee w/ skim milk [2]
turkey breast & green beans [4]
corn dog nuggets [10]
apple & cheese [4]

tilapia w/ cheese & avocado on romaine lettuce, homemade mac & cheese [19]

I used all of my daily and activity points, and have 29 weekly points remaining. I was just hungry today! The corn dog nuggets were a stupid move, though.

Bulk Cycle 1 - Week 7 - Wednesday

No workout scheduled today. I'm exhausted anyway.

Food:
banana, coffee w/ skim milk [2]
turkey salad w/ light dressing, baked potato [15]
apple & cottage cheese [6]
turkey sandwich w/ cheese, turkey bacon, lettuce & tomato [12]

I got all of my 35 daily points and have 43 weekly points remaining. I didn't get my healthy oils in and I'm too angry to eat right now so I won't get them in. I just want to punch something and go to bed.

Bulk Cycle 1 - Week 7 - Tuesday

negative pull up 5x5 - I managed 1 unassisted pull up in the first three sets, and all the rest were negatives.

chest dip 5x5
bb good morning 5x5x85 lbs   
bb shrug 
5x5x120 lbs   
stability ball jack knife 5x20

2 activity points. I really, really hate the pull up/squat combo. It takes so much out of me. I wonder if I should move pull ups to calf raise days and put chin ups with squats. They are two of my strongest exercises. I don't know if I should pair one that needs work (pull ups) with something else. Maybe I will try it next week and see how it goes. In my dream workout, I would do chin ups, squats, overhead presses, dead lifts, and rows. But I worry that if I don't do pull ups, I will never be able to do them well. I remember when I couldn't do a chin up - heck, I struggled with bodyweight rows - but I knew I wanted to be able to do them. So I stuck with it. I tell my workout buddy all the time that we're not going to be able to do things if we don't do them!

Food:

rear delt bb row 5x5x85 lbs 
db skull crusher 5x5x20 lbs 

2 activity points for this. I almost didn't work out today. I slept horribly last night and was really exhausted when I woke up. I knew I had a ton of afternoon and evening things going on, so I just figured I'd push everything back a day. But I didn't want to have to work out on Saturday so I did it late in the evening.

Food:

fruit & milk smoothie w/ protein powder [6]

I used all of my 35 daily points and have 49 weekly points remaining. I am really proud of myself. There was cake at work. I had none of it. It wasn't even much of a temptation. I did not get my healthy oils in - dinner wasn't what I planned because my beans were taking forever to cook and I ended up making something else.
