Insanity Max 30 Week 1 Results

I started on the 4th of July because why not? I ate fairly well but honestly it's a holiday so... First up was Cardio Challenge. I maxed out at 8:10 but kept going. Tabata Power on day 2 kicked my butt and I had to stop 24 mins in. I had done CC after lunch and TP first thing in the morning so the lack of food in my stomach took a huge toll. I pushed myself too hard and paid for it. You live and learn and I started day 3 with 1T peanut butter on whole wheat toast and didn't have any problems finishing Sweat Intervals. I used the modifier because some things hurt my back but I didn't max out. Day 4 had TP again and I didn't max out thanks to pb. Day 5 was Friday Fight and I maxed out at 11:42. Day 6 can be rest but I chose to follow the ab maximizer schedule so I did Pulse which doesn't seem hard but takes a lot of mental strength.

My calves hurt all week. I followed the meal plan but added in some cookies and veggie chips because it was coming out to 1000-1200 calories and I didn't feel that was enough given how intense the exercises are. I'm trying to stay under 1500 so my body doesn't go into stress mode.

Shakes this week included:
Chocolate with 2t peanut butter (meh)
Tropical Strawberry with 3/4C strawberry greek yogurt and 1C water (yum)
Chocolate with 1/2t mint extract (YUM!)
Tropical Strawberry with 1/2C pineapple OJ and 1/2C water (yum)
Chocolate with 2T finely chopped almonds for National Chocolate with Almonds Day (can't really
          taste the almonds)
Tropical Strawberry with 5 frozen strawberries, 3/4C pineapple coconut yogurt, and 1/2C coconut
          water for National Pina Colada Day (on the 9th)

I'm going to start mixing most of my shakes with yogurt to get that extra protein and red container in. Plus it makes it like a milkshake.

I didn't lose any inches and gained a pound this week. My guess is it's from my sore legs and building muscle (hopefully). Plus it takes time to gain and lose weight so I can't expect to see amazing results in a week.
