Insanity - Fit Test

I started Insanity yesterday!  Yikes, I'm a bit scared.

Day 1 was the fit test.  You do 8 exercises for 1 minute with as many reps as you can.

 

Here are my Day 1 results.

Switch Kicks:  128

Power jacks:  53

Power Knees:  89

Power Jumps:  33

Globe Jumps:  11

Suicide Jumps:  17

Push-Up Jacks:  17

Low Plan Obliques:  40 (but I could have pushed myself to do more).

 

All in all, I'm happy with my day 1 results! 

I lost 7 pounds on the 3-day Shakeology Cleanse

I've been working hard all year to lose weight. Did most of with P90x Plus, then switched over to TurboFire, and now currently doing ChaLEAN Extreme.  Have been successful at losing 18 pounds. YAY!  But this week, I made some bad nutritional choices (high sodium), I realized I put on 5 pounds. 5 Pounds!  Told myself that I worked too hard to let those 5 pounds come back.  So, I decided to do the 3-day Shakeology Cleanse.


Day 1:  Was very hard! Had my shakes, a banana, salad and fish but I was hungry most of the day. It was hard and I didn't think I could finish it. Honestly, I thought I would be pooping all day, but that was not the case. I was in the restroom a lot though. Sorry, TMI.... just keeping it real. I made it through my workout (Push 2) with no issues. I didn't lift as heavy though. Burned about 20 more calories than previous week.


Day 2:  I woke up, got on the scale to see if the torture the day was worth it. Boom! Lost 5 pounds! Yes it was worth it! So I figured that was the water weight I put on from all that sodium. And I figured I'd give day 2 a try to see if I lost anymore weight.  It was much easier on day 2.  I was not hungry at all! I had my shakes, banana, salad and chicken. My workout was Burn Intervals and Ab Burner. It was ROUGH. I would not recommend cardio during the cleanse.  Or if you do, keep it LOW impact/intensity and eat a piece of fruit before you workout. I burned about the same calories as I normally do, maybe a few more but nothing significant.


Day 3:  Woke up with a slight headache, but I did find that I had lost 1 pounds! Yes! I was now UNDER where I started on the cleanse! Questioned myself if I wanted to keep going...it was Friday, and I was on vacation. Could I not snack or drink on my day off?  Decided I would try it another day, just to see if I would lose anymore.  Had my shakes, an apple, salad and scallops. It was easy. Workout was Push 3, no problems or modifications. I normally do a HIIT 20 on Fridays but knew it wouldn't be the best thing to do. I burned about 25 more calories than previous week. 


Today: Woke up with a slight headache, but got on the scale....BOOM! I lost another pound (for a total of 7 pounds lost)!  Took my measurements and lost a total of 1.25" - not a whole lot, but I'm happy. 


I DEFINITELY recommend this cleanse! DEFINITELY! I know nutrition is the most important part of getting fit, but this cleanse taught me a lot about making the right food choices.  What hurt me at the beginning of this week was eating processed food (I think packaged chicken rice) one day, followed by gumbo (high sodium soup!) the next. While those are not bad choices per say, they were processed foods packed with sodium and preservatives. This cleanse helped me realize the importance of eating fresh!


So eat fresh people! If you have any questions, let me know. I'm happy to share.

Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse

What Is The Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse?

The Shakeology 3 day cleanse as the name implies is a program that you follow for 3 days that is designed to rid your body of any toxins, chemicals, and junk. This allows your body to process nutrients more efficiently which will in turn increase your body’s ability to lose weight through exercise and healthy eating. So simply put, the goal of the Shakeology 3 day cleanse it to optimize your body’s performance. For more information about how AWESOME Shakeology is, please visit my website.

Is The Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse Like Your Typical Cleanse?


No, the Shakeology 3 day cleanse isn’t like your typical cleanse. A typical cleanse is where you have VERY few calories and VERY few nutrients for a few days to a few weeks. The Shakeology 3 day cleanse is a calorie restricted regimen, but it’s a nutrient dense plan. It depends on how you follow the plan, but with the Shakeology 3 day cleanse you’ll be eating often and be taking in anywhere between 800 to 1,200 calories per day.

Why & When To Do The Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse?

People do cleanses for a number of reasons, but the most popular reasons are to lose weight, and/or  to “cleanse” your body of toxins and junk. I’ve heard of people doing the Shakeology 3 day cleanse after they get home from a vacation where they’ve been eating lots of junk and drinking lots of alcohol, I’ve heard of brides doing it before their wedding so they can get rid of as much excess weight as possible before their big day, and I’ve heard of people doing it before they start their fitness journey.


So the why and when vary from person to person, but the the one fact that remains is that if you’re going to do the Shakeology 3 day cleanse and you want to see results, you MUST stick with it and follow the regimen exactly as it’s laid out.

What Do You Need For The Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse?

Here’s your shopping list so that you can get started with the Shakeology 3 day cleanse. This is exactly what you need and as I’ve mentioned before, I highly advise that you get everything and follow the program to a T.


1. Bag Of Shakeology. You’ll need to go ahead and get yourself a bag of Shakeology by clicking here. This will be a 30 day bag. If you are serious about losing weight or just being fit and healthy then I highly recommend that you not only use Shakeology during the Shakeology 3 day cleanse, but that you also make it a part of your daily eating habits.
2. Green Tea. You can buy individual bags of green tea at just about any grocery store.
3. Fruit (optional). This is optional, but if you need the added calories then you’ll need to have some fruit that you enjoy such as apples, oranges, bananas, pears, etc. You’ll want to have enough so that you can eat 1 or 2 pieces of fruit per day.
4. Salad. I recommend spinach because iceberg lettuce has a very low nutrient density and it’s really just like eating water.
5. Chicken Or Fish (optional). White grilled with no additives (nothing fried).
