Insanity- Week 8 Day 1

Whew, now I know why I did the fit test on Sunday when I started month 2 & not back to back with MIC.  I am pooped!!  I took about a 10 minute break inbetween but it's much better to spread them out to save some energy for the workout!!  I don't know why I felt so good yesterday, and yet today I felt so heavy.  I did OK with my fit test, but felt like I should have been able to do better.  Here are my results:

Switch kicks: 52/52/46/50
Power jacks: 32/41/45/47
Power knees: 60/76/87/96
Power jumps: 15/26/30/32
Globe jumps: 5/8/9/9
Suicide jumps: 10/12/12/12
Push-up jacks: 4/12/15/18
Low plank oblique: 25/40/50/62

So as you can see, some moves I went up with some I stayed about the same.  I got a half globe jump before time ran out, but since we're counting whole moves I didn't count it.  :)

Burned a great amount of calories today, too, if my HR monitor is correct:
Fit test: 265
MIC: 675
TOTAL CALORIES BURNED: 940

I'm feeling a bit bummed today, too, because I'm not losing weight & when I did my measurements today I didn't lose any more inches & I actually gained a half inch on my waist & hips!!  The two places I don't wanna GAIN anything!!  I'm not giving up, and I am feeling great inside, but I really want to see better progress on the outside.  I guess that will come in time.  It's a little frustrating, but I know a lot of it is my fault as well.  I'm not eating as well as I should, and as you can see, that truly has a lot to do with it.  Because if I can burn over 600 calories a day 6 days a week, you would think I see better results on the outside & on the scale.  But I really need to pay better attention to what I'm putting in my mouth!!  I will do my best!!

Here's to a better day tomorrow...
