Week Two in the Walking Boot

Right.  Second week in the boot.  The foot doesn't hurt like it did last week, but I can still feel it.

I ordered a GymBoss interval timer so that I can begin to mix up some functional fitness workouts into the program when the foot heals.  The program will look something like this:

Monday          AM  P90X      PM Mountain Bike or Rollerblade
Tuesday          AM  Insanity    PM Hills Road Bike
Wednesday     AM  P90X      PM Mountain Bike or Rollerblade
Thursday         AM  Insanity    PM Intervals Road Bike
Friday             AM  P90X       PM Mountain Bike or Rollerblade

Now, doubles will be intense.  On days of Insanity, I can burn between 500-950 calories.  Add on top of that 500 or so riding the mountain bike.  I'll have to watch what I eat.

Last year I worked with a nutritionist who looked at my diet and what I was doing at the time for workouts. At that time, I was 167 lbs. or so.  He told me that 2900 cals would be what I should shoot for, then with the calorie deficit to lose the stomach ring, a 500 cal deficit.  So, then I was shooting for 2400 cals.  The breakout in terms of percentages was 45% carbs., 35% protein, and 30% fat.

The more I think about it, following this plan along with P90X and Insanity, I was loosing about 1% body fat a month - which really is not that much - or is it?  Hmm.

I finished the Advocare cleanse and the 24 day challenge.  No change in body weight or fat %.  Interesting.  I was reading about the contents of some of the product.  Odd things about ephedrine and reformulated sugar with a new name.  I have to look into that.  Suffice to say, I may go back to Beachbody products - as I know that they work.
