Saturday morning

I just realized I never posted my last post! It's been sitting in draft all these days. And I'm already behind. Lets go day by day...

Thurs

I woke up with a migraine today around 4:30 :-( It wasn't so bad so I took a bunch of medicine and tried to force myself to go back to sleep. I didn't, but slowly it started to subside, so sucked it up and went to work. I didn't do insanity though. It was the first day I had to skip. I was too scared because any sort of exertion makes the headache come back.

I've been sort of addicted to ordering "create your own salad" from seamless for dinner. I just love the convenience of being able to choose lots of different veggies and a protein without the mess or effort of chopping, mixing, etc :)

I was back to Insanity today (2 videos!). I tried having a whey protein shake (1 scoop of protein powder mixed with water) after the workout... but it was GROSS. I added ice and raspberries and blended it but it was still gross. I've had protein shakes before but always mixed with a ton of fruit... so I think if I'm going to try these recovery shakes as part of my regimen I need to find a way to make a low calorie smoothie to hide the flavor. I spent like 30 minutes at vitamin shoppe talking to the people about which protein to buy.... I went with whey - supposedly its really good for women and builds lean muscle as opposed to helping you bulk up. You are supposed to drink it within 20 minutes of a workout and it helps with soreness.
