More #WFNCChanllenge Meals + Insanity

Hi!  I hope you are doing well.  My weekend consisted of a lot of cleaning, -40 degree weather and a couples Valentine's Silpada jewelry potluck/party yesterday.  The lovely host served Indian Tacos which I ended up making a taco salad out of, due to my gluten intolerance (equally delish I'm sure ;o))  I also brought a version of my Couscous Salad.  Needless to say, mainly to keep the hubbys dazed and confused everyone was enjoying their wine and beer which I clearly avoided (not a WFNCchallenge approved food) surprisingly I did not crave it at all.
We had a great time!


Today we are entering the 2nd week of month 2 of the Insanity series.  I say WE, because hubby has been joining in for the workouts, if you would like to see his Polar results, I can share those as well.  I have been sharing my Polar HRM results over Instagram but here's how I am doing so far...

Polar Results:

Tuesday's Workout (left): Max Interval Plyo

Wednesday's Workout(right): Max Cardio Conditioning

Thursday: Max Cardio Recovery (yoga & stretching)
Friday: No photo for Max Interval Circuit but, results were 565 cals, 20 % from fat.
Saturday: Max Interval Plyo (already improving)

Crazy when you put it all together...  I am very proud of my 1st week's results and can not wait to see how much my intensity improves throughout the next 3 weeks.  We are already looking into other workouts DVD series to experiment with, after this round of Insanity.  TapOuTxt is looking pretty good to us...  We'll see :)...

OK, on to meal photos!
This week was sort of another 1200kcal day but more carb based than protein based. I find that with the Insanity workouts you really need those carbs to keep you energized.
  

Here are some of the meals I have been enjoying lately (via Instagram):

Breakfast: a version of Overnight Oats.  I have had this for breakfast all week, with different fruits.  My favorite fruit combo has been: 1/2 banana and 1 tbsp of PB2.

Lunch: 

Has consisted of pretty much the same...some sort of protein with veggies and sweet potatoes

Starting my day with carbs and fat makes me feel full all day, consequently, I have been having 5 meals instead of my usual 6.  My afternoon snack has consisted of green juices all week.  I made about 32 oz on Monday which lasted me for about 3 days.  Since I decided to blend instead of juice (to delay the oxidation process of the fruit and veggies) it was full of fiber which made the juices a very satisfying afternoon snack.

Dinners...Green salads or what I had here...those have been my faves!

For my after dinner snack I have been having tea and a handful of almonds.

Well, this is it for my meal and workout recap...  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.
Have a happy, healthy Monday!
