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. 

Shopping Day

Right. Went shopping with a list that I took from The Paleo Solution by Robb Wolf.  What did I get, let's see: Strawberries, cantaloupe, avocados, bell peppers, steak tip meat, ground turkey, carrot sticks, onions, sweet potatoes, and baby spinach.   Here's a video about the diet.




With what I have in the fridge now, its looking good for a good week of eating.   I mentioned the Advocare cleanse in the post below.  A co-worker put me on to Advocare and it looks like a great product. I'm suspect of products that are out there, but in in a healthy way.  I've seen what P90X and Insanity did for me.  Now it's a "wait and see" with this upcoming Advocare cleanse.

Went to to a local diner for breakfast and logged into Fitday.com mobile.  The Fitday journal, logging into Beachbody for the workouts, and this blog all keep me honest.

I'm looking into TRX right now too. 

Time to cook some meat.

Day Six - Back and Chest

Right.  Day six of P90X.

Just finished the weight resistance part of this morning.  About to start Ab Ripper X.   Truth is that Im the edge of bagging ABX - but will not. 

This is the third time I've done the program.  But its starting all over again.  Current weight - 181.8 lbs. at 24% body fat. In a month or so, I'm going to work in some Insanity cardio workouts.  Both programs are Beachbody products.

This week I go shopping for food that follows the Primal Diet.  That should be interesting.  I'm going to fire up the FitDay.com account to log my food.   I know what I need to eat, when it comes to total calories and fat, protein, and carbs percentages.  So, after shopping, log it, I start an Advocare cleanse.

Later.
