Fit test take 2

I wasn't really feeling like doing the fit test. All I could think about was my salmon, brown rice and broccoli for dinner, how bad is that?!!?

The fact i'd written on this blog that I was going to do it made me power through. I was tired, feeling heavy and aching from the gym workout the day before, however I gave it my best go. Husband did it too but as he didn't do the first one, he stopped counting. As we've put up the Christmas tree, there was barely enough space for both a 6ft 4 man and a 5ft 7 woman to do push ups side by side. (You're thinking, I have an excuse for everything!)

So these are my scores:
                                                           #1                               #2
SWITCH KICKS                               56                              59
POWER JACKS                              59                              53
POWER KNEES                              84                              80
POWER JUMPS                              33                              46
GLOBE JUMPS                               10                              11
SUICIDE JUMPS                              15                             14
PUSH-UP JACKS                            24                              30 (HALF PUSH-UPS AS NO ROOM)
LOW PLANK OBLIQUE                  50                               65

So it was a mixed back of better than last time scores and worse than last time. Next time i'll aim to do this on a weekend morning when i'm fresh and without my husband getting in the way! Argh! The 2 areas I really excelled on were the power jumps and low plank oblique, which are the toughest, so i'm trying to be positive.

Here are how other people have done - as their switch kick scores are in the 100s, I think they are double counting the switch kicks when in the Insanity booklet it says 2 kicks = 1 rep. 

I put all of my food into My Fitness Pal yesterday and it came out at 1,400 cals. I reckon I burnt 200 minimum with this workout. Why do I still feel so heavy?!!? 

I said i'd meet a friend at the gym tonight, so i'll do Cardio Circuits tomorrow.

Sunday ache...

I feel really guilty but I skipped the Insanity fit test :-/ as i'm going to the gym tonight with a friend, I can't do it until tomorrow eve. 

I actually woke up in the night and my sacroiliac joint (lower back) was hurting. I've had a couple of horrendous car accidents and about 30 physio appointments in the last 4 years but it's just a case of not overdoing it. Yesterday I did a hell of a lot.

So we woke up at 9, had a yogurt for breakfast and were in town 10 until 12 to get a few bits for Christmas and get a replacement pair of jeans for the torn pair due to falling over on that walk!

Came back and had an omelette with salad and a slice of grainy bread. Husband had a whole 1200 cal pizza to himself!!! Then put the Christmas tree up (on my own I might add!) which was an hour's workout in itself! I've been trying to find the time to sort my wardrobe out as it's full of Summer clothes, and usually I switch around and so my Winter clothes are all bagged up.

3 hours later i'd managed the switch and had a huge bin liner full to take to the Charity Shop :) I'm trying to be a little cut throat with my clothes choices now and not just buy things because they're on sale or cheap. It must be the asian half of me that doesn't want to buy anything full price ha ha! Then had a slice of toast...

Then I had to pop to my parents' to watch 2 hours of my sister-in-law's wedding my father had taped. Gave me a numb bum!! 

Came back for fried beef, the little potato squares and runner beans. At least I had a healthy day. As you can hopefully see, I just didn't have an ounce of time. Technically Insanity only takes 40 mins, but if you have other strenuous activities to do that day, e.g. clean the house, do gardening, then it's tough work to do it all!

Anyway, going gym tonight. Then i'll update you on tomorrow's Fit Test (which I am definitely doing!).
