TurboFire Inferno Day 5 Meal Plan and Review

Friday, September 30, 2011

Dayyyy 5!! Day 5! D-d-d-d-d-aaayyy fi-veeee!!! It's finally here!!! I feel like I should make some kind of little jingle haha
This was the longest & shortest five days of my life! It was a mixture of ups & downs...hungry or energetic, happy to be on a plan or annoyed to be locked in to what I had to eat...I loved it...I hated it haha And I def learned a few things!
#1 Portion Control! My portions were all out of whack! Even if you are eating clean- you still have to watch your portions! An extra few hundred calories per day can determine your success or frustration! (Especially when it comes to the last 10 lbs!!) Track your food intake people! get on myfitnesspal.com
#2 GET ENOUGH SLEEP!!!!! So I missed my workout last night =( There was just NO way! I got about 2 hours of sleep the night before which meant I completely passed out on my lunch break & right when I got home from work!
#3 Variety IS the spice of life! Learn new recipes, try new things! You're much more likely to stick with a clean eating lifestyle when it's fun...and delicious!

Day 5 Workout: Fire 55 EZ Class, Stretch 10 Class
Make sure you log your workouts to win $$$ in the Wowy SuperGym. Hmmm, maybe I shouldn't tell people to do that...I don't have to hurt MY chances hahah jk jk I'll share!

Breakfast: 1 4" whole wheat waffle with strawberry preserves, two 70 calories turkey sausage links

Snack: Chocolate Banana smoothie made with 1/2 a medium banana, 1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology, 1/2 c. skim milk, 1/2 c. water, and 3 ice cubes. Delicious as usual =)

Lunch: 3 oz. Chicken, 1 Tbsp Red Pepper Hummus, 1/2 Whole wheat tortilla, 2 tomato slices, spinach AND Salad with carrots and 1 Tbsp low fat dressing.


Snack:

Dinner:



There’s only one you so let the world see!! because what fun is life if you just blend in?

TurboFire Inferno Day 3

Wednesday, September 28, 2011

Ok, here we are...Day 3 of the TurboFire Five Day Inferno! I've been making it through the workouts. Last night, I was DEF tired (altho my damn insomnia caused me to only get 2.5 of sleep the night before!!! I blame that) but by the end of the workout...I was ON FIRE. I felt I could have keep going!!! It 100% helped that I went to the free 724 Fit Club last night and was surrounded with energetic chicks to force me to keep going!! And let me tell you...I slept like a freaking baby last night.



Breakfast: 8 oz cottage cheese with two slices of pineapple (Note: I borrowed this picture because I scarfed mine down so fast, I didn't take a picture!! lol)

Snack:  Carrots & Zucchini


**Stay Tuned for more pics once I make/eat it!!**
Lunch:Medium potato, 1 slice turkey bacon, 1 slice low-far cheese, 1 scallion, 1 Tbsp low-fat sour cream
Side Note: I don't like Sour Cream or cheese so I skipped it!
Snack: Greenberry Shakeology, 1/2 cup raspberries, 1 cup nonfat milk, some ice
Dinner: 6oz diced chicken, 2 1/2 Tbsp pico de gallo, 1.5 Tbsp sour cream, 1/4 avocado, 1/2 cup black beans, 1/3 cup quinoa (brown rice used here because Vons didn't have any!) 368 calories, 30g protein, 50g carbs, 8g fat, 11g fiber Recipe (makes 2 servings): Combine across 4 whole wheat tortillas: grilled and diced two 6oz chicken breasts, 5 Tbsp pico de gallo, 1 Tbsp low-fat sour cream (I used more because 1/4 per taco was too little!), 1/2 avocado, 5 sprigs of fresh cilantro (Vons didn't have any!) Serve with 1/2 cup of black beans and 1/3 cup of cooked quinoa seasoned with cilantro, salt and pepper.
Day 3 Review
So last night, I was laying in bed...tummy growling. I was seriously so hungry and thinking about getting up to eat pizza haha I decided against it because...well honestly I was so tired I couldn't lift a finger. And I was thinking about adding more calories today to hover in the 1500 range. BUT I woke up this morning...feeling pretty damn good. I am on track and yes I'm a little hungry....but nothing crazy. If you worked out before you start this, you might want to add a 100-200 calories based on how you feel but I'm really trying to follow this as closely as I can.  I DID drink the recovery drink last night after my workout- much needed!!! So that was 200 calories right there. 
This made me realize that I wasn't paying close enough attention to what I was eating...and I would mindlessly graze. So even though I was eating healthy and clean...I was SEVERELY underestimating the amount I was eating. That explains these extra lbs I gained. I am making a new commitment to track my food! I am telling you...it helps!!! Myfitnesspal.com is my favorite tool to track! Just do it!

TurboFire Inferno Day 2

Tuesday, September 27, 2011

Woahhh I made it through day 1 and did not cheat AT ALL!! Even I was surprised! lol Last night I was HUNGRY but I still resisted the temptation of pizza haha The only thing keeping me from eating it.....knowing that I have to take results pictures!

The 5 Day Inferno has you on a 1200 calorie meal plan- which would be fine if you were just sitting around. But fingers crossed that this pays off **must be strong**  Drink lots of water!!!
Tonight, we have 724 Fit Club  so I decided to have everyone do Fire 45 with me!  I still have to fit in HIIT 20! 75 minutes of workout bliss coming my way tonight! I've gotta say...TurboFire is pretty quickly becoming one of my favorite workouts!

The one thing I will say about the meal plan- the food/variety is UNBELIEVABLE! I really need to get out of my food rut. I have a tendency to live off of eggs, oatmeal, ground turkey and fruit lol Time to switch it up!
Do you ever start something...and you actually think to yourself "holy crap...Im really doing this?!!?" It's such a great sense on accomplishment! Here's to another day of commitment!!

On the Menu today....

Breakfast: Low Fat Yogurt with 3/4 cup cantaloupe(Note: I hate cantaloupe but since I can't stand sea food I thought I'd at least try to stick to MOST of the meal plan).


Snack 1: Shakeology & PB2

Lunch:
Turkey, Tomato, Avocado wrap
Snack:

Celery with PB & Raisins 

Dinner:

The best $1.97 I ever spent....

I love watching Dr. Oz! I'm so sad they changed the time to 4pm- boo!!! But I did catch one episode about $5 deals when he was giving tips for reducing stress!
If you can't get a massage or pay a bunch of money for a foam roller...you can go buy Pool noodles and use them to give yourself a massage!

Pool Noodle, Cost: $1.97 (on sale at Target right now!!)
You can use pool noodles for an at-home massage. Lying down on a noodle can break up the stiffness from the day.

Ok, so yes...I was a skeptic. But I thought...for $2...I can try anything lol Since they were so long, I used a utility knife to cut mine in half. I got 2 sizes just for the fun of it.
Set it on the floor, lay on your back and roll around on it. Let the massage begin! It actually feels REALLY good especially after a workout!

Just don't try to juggle them!


Add them to the stash! I love new workout toys!
