 Meals:

Meal 1 (4:30am): 1/3 cup steel cut oats, ½ cup berries, 1 scoop 619 protein powder

Meal 6 (8:30pm)(post insanity meal): 1 Shakeology protein shake

 Training:

12:00pm: ran stairs at work for 30 minutes

7:45pm: BeachBody’s Insanity Fit Test – 25 minutes

Supplements:

1000 mg L-Carnitine pre stair run and HotRoxx fat burner

 Energy was great yesterday.  Did about an hour of cardio in 2 sessions.  The fit test made me nauseous for a split second after I had finished but as soon as I got my Shakeology down the hatch, that pretty much solved everything.  That fit test was HARD!  Shoooot… If I ever gave anyone a fit test like that, they would never call me back to reschedule the next session! Hahahah!  But hey, I was happy to see that my first fit test was hitting the same numbers as the people in the video’s 6 week follow up fit test.  So that part was comforting…. Even though I had to crawl to get to my paper to write my numbers down.  And finally, I slept like a baby last night! No melatonin, or valerian root, nothin.  

 Food for Play:

I love love love to use a ½ packet of stevia to my sweet potato and sprinkle cinnamon on top.  Total dessert.  Try it and let me know what you thought!

 Check back for tomorrow’s blog post where I again will post what I ate and the lift session I had this morning plus MORE!
