Day 20/21... Insanity Day 5/6

Its been a great weekend but I'm off all this week for Winter Break. Yay :)

Saturday

Breakfast
-Egg whites, turkey and swiss on a whole wheat wrap
-Iced coffee with milk

Lunch
-Grilled chicken with arugula pesto, tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella (from Healthalicious)
-Side salad with apple cider vinaigrette

Snack
-Smoothie (blueberries, banana, strawberries & nonfat frozen yogurt)

After my lunch and snack I had some major stomach issues... it was definitely not fun and had to take some pills just to be able to go out :(

Dinner
-I went out and my stomach was feeling better. Dinner was sort of a hodgepodge of things... nothing healthy really, but, I just picked at everyone else's dishes so I didn't feel too bad. We went to Cienfuego and Death & Co in the East Village... same owner, one is a speakeasy and the other a Latin American styled tapas place. They are both known for amazing cocktails and creative "gourmet" small dishes. We shared:

-Albondigas (chicken meatballs in a spicy sauce with tostones)
-Crispy pork belly with kale
-Lobster roll sliders with brown butter mayonnaise

I also had some great cocktails.

My first drink - some sort of concoction of rum, ginger,  lemon, lime and bitters

Second drink... another rum base with mint, lime, and bitters floating on top

Saturday was "Pure Cardio" for Insanity. Marvin did it with me! I was really embarrassed at first but then I realized we both looked pretty ridiculous sweating and jumping around in my living room. This was our first time working out together and it was great. I also measured my waist, hips, thighs and arms.. I'm not really losing weight but the Insanity guide says you may gain weight the first week or 2 due to muscle gain. Looking forward to tracking!

Sunday

Brunch
-2 Eggs over medium, bacon, WW toast, hashbrowns (I wound up not eating the eggs because they were too runny and only half the hashbrowns)

Dinner (Marvin cooked for me!)
-Shake n Bake pork loin
-Salad

Today was Day 6 of Insanity! Repeat of Plyometric Cardio Circuit. Definitely the hardest one, and it was TOUGH after a night of drinking. But I did it and feel so good.
