Hooray! Week 2 of Insanity is upon me. Minimal body aches and I have been doing the stretches religiously. We don't want a repeat of the last time, do we?
Today was Cardio Power and Resistance and as usual, it kicked my ass. My glutes are still burning as we speak.
I hate fruits and vegetables. A standing joke among my asian friends is that I don't eat grass. This means I never get my 5 a day nutrients.
However, that is all about to change. On Friday, Blogger Miss Jia posted a before/after picture on twitter which, if I must say was AMAZING! She lost so much weight and her skin was glowing. Her secret? She is on a juice fast and that was her Day 13. After reading about Juice Fast, I realised it was not for me.
1. I like food
2. I am currently on Insanity and I need all the energy I have
3. I need to be up and about, work, life etc and I can't do all my activities on a juice-only diet
4. I really like food and cooking.
However, I still need the benefits of consuming fruits and vegetables. I have decided to replace breakfast and dinner with Juice. Vegetable and Fruit Juices only for breakfast and dinner, and eat solid foods for lunch.
Hopefully, this will help clean out my system while still maintaining my energy level.
Bought my juicer yesterday and a lot of fruits and veggies.
After my Insanity work out this morning, I made Carrots, Spinach, Oranges and Lemon juice for breakfast. It tasted so nice. Looking forward to making grapes, broccoli, apple, lemon and spinach juice tonight.
I weighed last night and I realised I am down 1.4kg from last week. Happy with the progress, but I need to lose more :)
Oh one last thing, cleaning the juicer is a nightmare (well time-wise) if you don't have a dish washer like me.
I will be sharing my favourite juice recipes as I discover them. One tip though, consume juice as soon as you make it so you don't miss out on essential nutrients.
Have a good week.....
