Insanity Recovery Week....hey everyone!!
Sorry I haven't been posting but busy life last week while I prepare for my CPT final, moving, and the being a single parent thing :) Just wanted to drop in and leave a note or two about the Recovery Week.
Basically its the same dvd over and over all week (Core Cardio and Balance). The movements are slow and deliberate to allow you to remain flexible during the basic "resting" week. I have noticed that I dropped a few pounds without adjusting my caloric intake much.
FIT TEST #3 is Monday!! Interested to see if I got better or worse after having such a light week with the nice break. Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying every minute of the break on my hips and knees. Plus I think the floor appreciates the break from the pounding on the carpet! :)
OhhhhK, now a quick word about the Insanity Formula they use in the book. I kinda "guessed" what my needs were when I started and that is a mistake! My body has been fighting me with the weight and body fat. My weight has been fluctuating back and forth from 168-174 but not stabilizing or coming down. Couple reasons for this (or bodies are like a machine so easy to figure out once you understand them) First is that my body may have found it's "stable" weight where it feels comfortable at no matter how hard I work it (Homeostasis) >Homeostasis< or number Two is that i am not eating properly and my body is in a state of starvation (yes even eating 5 times a day it still happens).
The later is what I felt may be happening due to my past experiences. I took the Insanity Guide and re-calculated my bodies needs and I have been under eating by an average of 1200 calories a day! I was using My Fitness Pal app and staying within their guidelines and this was very far from what I need.
The Insanity Guide Formula is the most accurate based on Height/Weight/Activity Level...so I will be bringing my caloric intake up to the level that is needed. When I did the first Round of Insanity I was averaging around 3200 calories a day so this will be the level I attempt again but with more focus on high quality calories from Protein Isolates.
Until Monday Fit Test....have a wonderful weekend!!
