My husband wasn't traveling as much this week, and a result of that was less healthy dinners and less working out. Well, not actually less, I just didn't do it in the order I was supposed. I should have worked out every day and taken Saturday off. Instead I took Friday off and worked out Saturday. It was probably a good thing that i worked out Saturday. I went out to eat with my friends to Chinese food and had some delicious chicken fried rice. It was my cheat day, so I'm OK with that.
Matt goes back out of town tomorrow and I'm back on the healthy dinners. The problem is that he really doesn't like chicken and would rather have red meat. Mostly in the form of ground beef tacos. I think I'm just going to have to tell him to deal with it and serve chicken the way I've been eating it. This needs to become the way we eat for the rest of our lives, not just for as long as it takes me to lose weight.
I'm still feeling good though and loving the work outs. This past week I walked two days with some co-workers. I think I'm going to try and do that every day. It's not really strenuous, we only walk for about 15 minutes. I think that by adding that in, it will help me get to my 7,000 steps a day for my work points and it will be a little extra exercise and calorie burning. Since I'm behind a desk 8 to 9 hours a day the walk definitely helps.
I've got one more week on the first month of Insanity. Once that's over I have a recovery week and then the really intense work outs start. It goes from a 40 minute video to 55 minutes. At first I was a little nervous about whether I could do that long, but then I realized it's only 15 minutes longer. I feel like I should watch one of them just to prepare myself for what it's like. I don't know if it's just 15 minutes more of the same kind of exercising or if it's actually a more vigorous work out. I think that one I'm done with that month I'll switch back and forth between the first months videos and the second. Or maybe just do the second months videos three or four times a week. We'll see how it goes.
What about trying ground turkey instead of ground beef? If you have the same seasonings maybe he won't notice a huge difference? Pork tenderloin is also one of the big things we used to eat on P90x and they have really good flavors and its easy to make in the crockpot.
ReplyDeleteWe used to eat ground turkey, but one day Matt brought home beef again and we haven't gone back to the turkey. I usually buy the leanest beef available, so it's not that bad. I haven't tried making pork tenderloin though. That would be good, especially if I can do it in the crockpot. Thanks!
