Asylum Game Day

After having to take a few days off from some muscle issues in my back, I completed day 11 of the Asylum which is Game Day. This workout is 60 minutes of crazy intense sports drills. Everything from basketball, long jumps, wrestling, tennis, speed skating, football and baseball. You name it, and I was doing a sports drill related it to it. A really fun workout but very challenging. I can't even imagine what is to come when we add OT with it in the upcoming week.

Nutrition Tips

A lot of the discussion in our Facebook fitness group lately has been about struggling to stick to a healthy nutrition plan. After all, to lose weight and get fit, exercise and proper nutrition go hand in hand. Often nutrition can be harder to conquer than an hour-long workout. However, there are things you can do to help. One of the best things you can do is journaling.



Tracking what you eat throughout the day can give you great insight to not only the amount of calories you consume, but if you use some of the smart phone apps or online programs available to track your food, you can also be sure you are getting the proper ratios of macronutrients according to your fitness goals. BUT, you have to be honest with yourself and record every thing you eat including that handful of chips or crust of your child's sandwich and even track those bad days where you know you went over your calorie goal or ate something you shouldn't. Keeping track of all days, gives you a great point of reference to go back to when you either lose, gain or stay at the same weight on the scale. You can look back and see what worked or what didn't.

Not only should you track what you eat, you should track how you are feeling each day. It can be as simple as one word. Hungry, tired, energized, happy, moody, proud, stressed and you could also put: great workout, added more weight, two more reps, fewer breaks needed, etc.

Clean your cupboards! Get rid of all of those bad and tempting foods that you shouldn't eat. You are less likely to eat those chips, candy, ice cream, etc. if they are not in your house where you can easily grab and eat.

Plan ahead. You've probably heard the saying: If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. This is a harsh fact. Sit down and plan your menu for the week. Write it down. I print out my outlook calendar by week and write my menu on that and then post it on my fridge.



Plan well-balanced meals and stick to it. Remember excess calories even if it's from good food, can often turn into excess weight. We have a ton of plastic food storage containers we use for leftovers and for lunches. Salads are often an easy lunch and you can find some websites that show you how to make the "mason jar" salads that you can prep a week ahead of time and just grab and go. Turkey meatballs, meatloaf and chili are all three easy meals to fix ahead of time and reheat for healthy lunches or dinners. We will purchase large packages of fresh, boneless skinless chicken breasts to cook on the grill for the week too. We just place our food in the storage containers along with a good grain such as cooked brown rice and a veggie and put in the fridge to just grab to take with us each day for lunch.

Limit your amount of caffeine and alcohol. Keep a water bottle with you at all times to drink from often. For something different you can also add lemon, lime, cucumber or even a few berries that don't add a significant amount of calories.

Cooking your meals at home is another great way to help with controlling your nutrition. Portion sizes at restaurants are out of control and there are way too many starchy and fried foods at restaurants. Plus, what sounds "healthy" isn't always healthy. Maybe it's not possible to cook dinner every night but perhaps you can manage to cook at home one more night each week.

When you crave something that is not healthy, think about what you want more, those potato chips or chocolate or that body you've always dreamed of. If you decide that you do want to have that "treat", don't make that occasional unhealthy treat, an unhealthy week or an entire vacation. A treat is possibly once a week.

Above all, remember that we are human. We are not perfect, and we all make mistakes. Don't let one mistake or hiccup in your nutrition turn into an all day bad food fest and buffet.

After a lot of discussion with my husband, we decided to do the Ultimate Reset starting May 8th. I actually completed the Reset in February and lost 16 lbs in 21 days. Since you are able to do the program quarterly, I've decided to do it again to support him and as preparation for an upcoming trip that we have planned. Yesterday, I made a trip to Trader Joe's to start picking up some of things we will need. Luckily, I still have quite a few things left from when I did it in February. I don't have to buy any of the spices this round, and I only have to buy a few of the oils. The grade B maple syrup and the Bragg's Liquid Aminos have now become staples in our home, so, I already have both of those too. As I was shopping yesterday, I started getting excited all over again about starting May 8th. I have never felt better than while I was following the meal plan from the Reset. I slept better than I have ever slept and would wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and alert. I no longer woke up feeling completely drained and groggy. One of the mistakes I made when I completed the Reset was adding back in certain foods too quickly. This round I will take the time to gradually add foods back in to determine those that cause the food cravings, etc. My mindset towards food changed after my first round, and I am even more excited to stay closer to a vegan lifestyle after this round. Yes, I will still have some meats afterwards, but I will stay away from the processed foods and will limit the amount of meat in my nutrition plan. Every food item in the Reset is incorporated for specific reasons. One thing I purchased yesterday was the green lentils. Lentils have so many health benefits. They not only help lower cholesterol, but also are good for heart health, digestive health. They help stabilize blood sugar. They are a good source of protein and also help increase energy and aid in weight loss.

Week 1 Insanity the Asylum

Today marked the end of week one in the Asylum. I have to agree with ShaunT when he said this workout takes you to a new level. I am not sure if it is him always calling you an athlete that does it, but he pushes you past your usual limits. My favorite workout for week 1 had to be Strength. In the usual ShaunT fashion, you have sweat flying and a completely wet shirt by the end even though it's a resistance workout. You have strength twice in the first week, the second time being on day 7, which found me able to increase my weights for all but the shoulder presses. I'm anxious to see the results at the end of my 30 days, and I'm excited for Game Day which is on the schedule for this coming week.
